TOPIC:

Carbon was installing fine in previous versions of houdini 19 and 19.5 but for some reason its not showing up in 19.0.720.  I deleted everything and did a clean install but still nothing.

Hi  vturchin ,

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the installer.
When you run the installer, can you please double-check that it is not being blocked by your antivirus program.
This could result in an unsuccessful installation.

After the installation, do you see a packages folder (Documents\houdini19.0\packages) which contains a carbon.json file?
The json file will point to the package location (Documents\numerion\{plugin package}.

Do those folders and files exist for you?

Cheers,
Sebastian
 

Its weird but i had to restart Houdini multiple times, and then it showed up.  I think it was not picking up ANY packages not just carbon.

hmmm. Not sure if I have seen this before. Did you have all Houdini windows closed before running the installer? Houdini doesn't really like it when you install packages while it's still open.
Glad it's working now.
Please let me know if you ever find out why Houdini wasn't picking up any packages. Could be useful to know for future reference.

I will
