Turn off your antivirus before updating or installing Houdini Launcher.

Thank you! This issue has vexed me for years!

I honestly don't remember the last time my Blender crashed. Houdini still crashes weekly when I'm lucky.

There are certainly some cool Blender features I would love to see in Houdini, but Blender's stability (or lack thereof) is definitely not one. Not sure what version of Blender you are using but my vanilla installation of Blender 3.4 (with no addons) crashes far more often than Houdini when doing anything beyond basic modelling. Good luck trying to keep Blender alive for more than 15 minutes when doing even the most basic RBD sim, haha. Houdini is no crash juggernaut (looking at you, UV tools), but saying that it is less stable than Blender is laughable.

Greetings,
Everything said in this thread did a great job of pushing me away and killed what motivations left in me to start learning.

Kind regards.

Sorry to hear you go. Aside from our complaints, Houdini is a great product overall and it will still be around when you come back some day
