I'm getting this too, in 19.0.657 Also in 19.5.303

I tried deleting the SideFXLabs folder from Documents but still get the errors.

Actually I deletd all instances of sideFXLabs using Launcher, and any folders or package json files, and still get the errors (though Labs does not load). There;s nothing in my houdini.env file about Lbas. Where is the file or folder that's telling Houdini Labs is installed?

Any way to resolve this??

Figured it out. Go to the C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 19.0.657\houdini\viewer_states folder and delete all the .py versions of the files leaving the .pyc versions. Errors gone.

works, thanks for the tip

I have just tried resolving this issue by completely removing all side fx labs installations / dirs & json files from the three builds of Houdini i have installed (via the launcher and manually... twice... and on two different windoze machines). I have tried installing both via launcher and within each build of Houdini via the updater and still have the same errors being reported above when using the 19.0.657 build. Would be nice to have a clear way to resolve this issue please, assuming its my error or misunderstanding. Not sure what is meant by duplicate lab installs since when i tried it for the second time I had removed all possible reference and also checked my Houdini environment file and environment variables to make sure I'm not referencing any duplicate paths etc. Accurate and up to date pointers / instructions would be appreciated as i have tried all options both manually and via launcher.
