Hi!
So yesterday i donwloaded the houdini-15.0.347-win64-vc11 build.
But im running into install errors.
Im getting the following errors:
1. the installer cant get the installers path.
So i moved the file from the desktop to another location.
Problem solved. But here comes another error, where the installer complains about my system, it's can't decide if it's 64 or 32 bit (im running on win 7 64 bit).
So i downloaded another build (houdini-15.0.385-win64-vc11), same problem here.
Interesting that these installers dont have the SideFx/Houdini logo.
So i downloaded the houdini-14.0.598-win64-vc11 build. No problem here.
So how can i fix the H15 installer?

I don't have a “linux or mac” , your solution seems very strange… why it doesn't work with “windows” system ?

I dont know, maybe a few problems on the file permissions, but it worked.
