follow the link on Stevens 2nd-to-last post :roll:

Ok….I am working now…thanks Steven

I did the MD5 check and the sums are different so something is busted there. However, I downloaded build houdini-9.0.677-win32 from the link you sent and that worked no problem….must be and issue in that build.

thanks for your help and tell Val that I (Justin) say hi…he is at Imageworks as a Houdini artist also. Now that I can learn Houdini I may be there myself at some point :wink:

Well I do have “My Documents” stored on a separate drive but I am installing locally and everything is pretty standard windows 32 bit install. I have tried it on pentium and AMD both with 2gigs RAM
I have downloaded the file from same place mentioned above with IE, firefox, and flashgot….all with the same result. I have tried disabling virus protection and firewalls also.

The behavior I see is that a command window appears briefly then quits…..when I change the properties of the dos tab on the executable to not close on error then I can see the “too big to fit in memory” error

has anyone installed this recently with success?

Any chance of trying a different build? Current build is houdini-9.0.653-win32

thanks for the feedback and trying to help
