I installed the Houdini Plugin version, Octane_2021.1.1.1 each time I start Houdini, I get the error; The Octane.dll file is not valid for this plugin version. Plugin version: 11000014 - Octane.dll version:11000100.
Although I have Octane installer 2021.1.1 ?

Probably you have several versions of the plugin installed in your system at the same time, breaking the installation. Please, double-check that you have only one plugin directory in your system and if you have the right config in your houdini.env or packages file PATH and HOUDINI_PATH variables.

I have Octane Enterprise 2021.1.1 installed, and a packages file to find the path of Octane, nothing else ?

Go to the plugin directory and check if you have multiple dlls in the dso folder. You should only have one that matches your Houdini version.

Yep, you should also check if you have an older Octane version installed in the Houdini $HOME directory.

There is not multiple DLL in the dso folder related to Octane; as well, I don't have an older version of Houdini installed in the Houdini $HOME directory ?

The "Plugin version: 11000014 - Octane.dll version:11000100" error means that somehow the plugin version and the Octane.dll that you have installed in your system don't match. The plugin is older than the Octane system files.
You should try to find all these files in your HD to be sure that there are no other versions of Octane installed in your system. Please, delete all the Octane versions that you have in your system, download the plugin and unzip it again to be sure that you have a clean installation.

Go to the plugin directory and check if you have multiple dlls in the dso folder. You should only have one that matches your Houdini version.
My File manager when I first checked; wasn't showing any additional Octane.dll files, then it showed; now everything works beautifully.
