I have done a test (Windows) build of my game project which contains an HDA and I notice in the log at runtime, the following message:

    Houdini Engine: Starting HARS process.
    Executable: C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 15.5.565/bin/HARS.exe
    Pipe Name: C____Users__andy__TEMP__GameName_Data

Why is it doing that? What will happen when the game runs on a PC without a Houdini installation?

Houdini Engine is for your game editor, not for your game run time.

Understood; so why is it doing it in a built game?

Just tried 15.5.596 and the built game does not launch a HARS process for me. Did you change anything in Edit > Project Settings > Player?
