Hi,

In Houdini 18.0.310 ran as an admin in an up to date W10, when I use the embedded updater, I get the following console alert:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "update_toolset", line 121, in on_updatebtn_press
File "update_toolset", line 283, in on_dialog_close
File "update_toolset", line 236, in unzip_file
File "C:\PROGRA1\SIDEEF1\HOUDIN1.310\python27\lib\zipfile.py", line 1040, in extractall
self.extract(zipinfo, path, pwd)
File "C:\PROGRA

return self._extract_member(member, path, pwd)

    Looks like you're trying to install over your existing install which is currently in use

    Hi!
    I'm a developer too :)
    You're making a really sophisticated job, thank you. However, UX could be better.

    1. An alert could be showing up in Houdini itself if we don't get the latest version installed.
    2. At least, if the installed version and the "new" one are identical, you could either obfuscate the console alert, or make it display a note saying that we already get the latest version installed...
      This way, you would spare time, by not having to answer notes like this one :)

    absolutely! I've added a bug in our database to catch this earlier and hopefully this will be addressed sooner than later.
