I'm trying to run the plugin demo (3.03.2.0) on Houdini indie 15.5.480 and windows 7.
I've tried installing the plugin in both a separate directory and inside home. The former does absolutely nothing, the latter gives me the octane menu, but not the shelf nor the ROP. The "about octanerender" menuitem is not working, either.
It gives no error messages. Not in houdini, nor in command line, if started from there. Looks like it's not even trying to run the binaries.
I've added the following to houdini.env:
PATH ="C:/Users/Ville/Documents/houdini15.5/bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Users/Ville/Documents/houdini15.5;&"
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
but they seem to have no effect whatsoever. If I start the houdini command line tools, settings in this file cause no change in the settings.
I've modified the windows environment settings to give me the same variables, so now if I run "set" in command line, I get the following lines:
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR=2
HOUDINI_PATH=C:/Users/Ville/Documents/houdini15.5;&
and in path I have (among others)
C:/Users/Ville/Documents/houdini15.5/bin
But that didn't work either.
Would you have a suggestion about how to debug this?
