Hello all,

I need to add paths to the following environment variables:

HOUDINI_PATH
HOUDINI_MENU_PATH
HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH

The problem I have is that I want to do this using global environment variables on Windows rather than the houdini.env file. I have found currently, if I attempt this, it breaks Houdini quite badly because it messes with it's environment setup procedure. Is it even possible without using the houdini.env file?

I haven't found a solution for this but I have figured out a way to use the houdini.env file for my setup so I'm going with that.

just add the extra stuff at the end of each line, something like this:

HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH = $QOTL/base;$QOTL/future;$QOTL/experimental;@/otls
