I'm not able to find any Houdini Console when the installation hangs with the rename of the “zmore” file. Nothing launchs.
I'm on Win7 Pro x64 (french language).

Wellcome to the club !!!
Language is what a track ?

This is how it should look on Vista 32-bit with Houdini 11.0.472. Note that you have to click on the Close button before the install will continue.

:\ No console window.

Btw, thanks again for continuing to help us.

Please, everyone start their own threads. Post your exact OS, video card hardware, video driver versions, network hardware, firewall software (and version), anti-virus software (and version). Then provide a precise description of the problem when trying out the latest version of Houdini (must be >= 11.0.471). Also check the incompatible software list (http://odforce.net/wiki/index.php/IncompatibleSoftware). [odforce.net]

Frankly I would think back to the beginnings of Max or XSI …
Here's been years since I have not had a problem installing professional programs with Windows…

Youen, you said that one of your machines is now working with Houdini 11.0.471? What are the differences?

We just tried a similar system but failed to reproduce. It was on an Intel Core2Duo with Windows 7 Ultimate (English OEM, switched to French language pack) running Avast Free Edition 5.0.694, Windows Firewall enabled, UAC enabled.

I'll try to install Houdini but freeze on gfont.exe.

Thanks.

PS. If anyone is having problems, try checking if Windows Live Essentials Beta is installed on your computer. It fixed at least 2 people's problems when it was uninstalled:
