Hi, I am currently using 20.5.278 on Windows.
I am getting these error messages when I try to import Alembic Archive.

I tried to figure it out on Google but couldn't solve the problem.
I've tried
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 20.5.278;&"
HOUDINI_PYTHON_VERSION = 3.11
on houdini.env
,
Reinstalling,
Remove Python from the window.

Could someone give me some help?

I appreciate any help you can provide.
