Hello,

I believe that the error has to do with the .hip file's name and/or folder path. HQueue uses ascii for most things in jobs and unfortunately does not play well with certain characters in file names and folder names.

Is there a non-ascii character in the .hip file name? If there is, then try renaming the file and see if that helps.

Cheers,
Rob

Hoooo i think is that my hip file name is “rivière”
