I'm at a total loss here. Have now tried installing Houdini 20.5.410 on three different machines on our render farm, and it's the same thing on all of them (but working fine on my own local machine).
Have tried completely uninstalling all versions of Houdini and the launcher and starting all over again, still not working. Just no idea where to go from here since it's not throwing any errors.
Any help much appreciated here, as on a deadline and need to get this working asap.
