Hey all. I am on Vista Ultimate x64. And I downloaded the 64 bit version of Houdini Apprentice. Upon the first launch I get the prompt to either add a payed license or install the free license. I choose free.

and immediately on the launching of whatever is supposed to come up when I chose that option, the program crashes. I tried going to the houdini license server thing, but couldn't figure out how to manually install it there.

I saw the post on crashing on launch being a video driver issue, but I am up to date with ATI.

Anybody help?!

and hello everyone, I am new!


UPDTAE:

Well, I figured it out!. what I did was go to houdini's program folder, and right click on hkey.exe and hmaster.exe and went to properties, compatibility, and checked always run this program as an administrator.

The license installed fine after that. I can probably switch that setting back off now, as the license is done installing. And I am not sure of both programs needed it, probably just hkey, but whatever. Also, just right clicking houdini and choosing run as administrator did not work.

I am only leaving this post here for anyone else who has this issue.
