LoadLibHAPI fails to find the installation folder
When the Houdini SDK is not installed (CI build for example), the heuristics always fail to find the installation folder. Multiple methods are being used but they might need to be updated.
Using Houdini 19.0.622:
- Environment variables like
HAPI_PATHandHFSbut they are not set by default by the installer ? - Custom location, this is working but less than ideal because they are stored in
DefaultEngine.iniwhich is used by everyone. Issue has been reported in another issue (#120 ) - Registry lookup will fail because it is looking for
HoudiniorHoudini Enginebut the registery key wasHoudini 19.0.622. The code might need to be updated - Search in
Program Files. This will fail because the plugin version set in HAPI_Version.h does not match the version installed.
You might want to update the code for 3 and 4.
