I'm working in Unity trying to launch Houdini with the HOUDINI_PATH and HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR value set,I wrote c# code to set the env variable before launching Houdini,but after the setting,Houdini can't be open,
so,I am trying to set it in the computer,not by code, just to check out why Houdini can't open,
and now,if I add HOUDINI_PATH with value like C:\a\b\c ,it shows error:

ERROR: Couldn't open resource file "resources" (No such file or directory)

=======================================================================================================================

and if I add HODUINI_PACKAGE_DIR with value like :C:\a\b\c\package ,Houdini does not appear at all.
anyone can help to tell what is the standard about it.
thanks.

Hello,

In linux you can source houdini_setup and use $HH
(or anny other houdini environment variables)

In windows you cant use HCMD to launch Unity.

https://www.sidefx.com/faq/question/how-do-i-set-up-the-houdini-environment-for-command-line-tools/ [www.sidefx.com]

I`m not sure this is what you are trying to achieve.

:edit the houdini_setup is located at /opt/hfs20.5
