Could you please start a new support thread regarding your load issue?

Part of the Houdini install is to a json file called, omniverse_h195.json , located in your Houdini preferences folder: <path_to_preferences>/houdini19.5/packages folder.

Verify that file is there and confirm the variable is set to, “HOMNI” : “E:/OMNI/pak/houdini-connector-102.0.0/houdini19.5”
