ERROR: Failed to save output to file when clicking the ipr

Hello there...

I know there is already this thread https://answers.arnoldrenderer.com/questions/30682/failed-to-save-output-to-file-traceback-most-rece...

which describes basically the same problem but i have not been able to solve my problem and start getting pretty frustrated....

Never had problems before but in the last days i am somehow not abble to use arnold anymore...

when i click the ipr this error comes:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/eddi_/htoa/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696/scripts/python\htoa_pygeo.py", line 14, in swig_import_helper
return importlib.import_module(mname)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_htoa_pygeo'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

i changed the houdini. env file couple of times but i can´t get it to work..this is the current state after reinstall....the paths are right imo but i can´t render anything...

#
# Houdini Environment Settings
#
# The contents of this file are read into the environment
# at startup. They will override any existing entries in
# the environment.
#
# The syntax is one entry per line as follows:
# VAR = VALUE
#
# Values may be quoted
# VAR = "VALUE"
#
# Values may be empty
# VAR =
#

# Example:
#
# HOUDINI_NO_SPLASH = 1


# htoa config start
PATH = "$PATH;C:/Users/eddi_/htoa/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}./scripts/bin"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Users/eddi_/htoa/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION};&"
# htoa config end


this is the houdini path:


HOUDINI_PATH C:/Users/eddi_/htoa/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696/htoa-5.6.3.1_reef1df0_houdini-18.5.696;C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.696/packages/viewer_handle_demo;C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.696/packages/kinefx;&


would be awesome if some one could help me here...thank you!!!

You have the Python 2.7 version of HtoA and the Python 3 version of Houdini.

That won't work. You'll need to get the Python 3 version of HtoA
