Cannot Install Rhino 5.12 on Windows 10 Pro x64

Rhino Rhino for Windows

I downloaded Rhino for Windows, rh50_en-us_5.12.50810.13095.exe, and whenever I run it on a Windows 10 Pro x64 platform, the install fails.

Here’s the log file:

The support site says a few things that make no sense. First, it suggests that I run the Dot Net 4.0 Framework directly from the DVD. There is no DVD. This was a downloaded install. Then it provides a link to Microsoft’s site to download and install the Dot Net 4.0 Framework. When I do this, the downloaded Dot Net 4.0 Framework install program stops and reports that there is no need to install the framework; that Windows 10 already contains the Dot Net 4.0 Framework.

So I have been unable to install Rhino 5 on Windows 10.

Any suggestions?

Hi Michael - I assume you installed all available Windows updates, right?.

This is Windows 10. There is no user accessible “Update Windows” control panel applet. Windows 10 automatically downloads and installs updates. If an update requires a reboot, Windows 10 is configured to ask me to schedule the reboot, which I I do after saving un-saved files. As far as I am aware, my installation of Windows 10 is current.

If you type “update windows” in the search bar, there is a check for windows screen at the top of the list. You can select check for updates and then you can choose to restart / install the updates if there are any available.

@ra_mull, I did that and here are the results:

Did you just take that screenshot? In the image it says windows last checked for updates on 12/26/2015, today is 12/31/2015. There may or may not be new updates since then. I’m not sure.

Yes. I took that screenshot a couple of hours ago (just before my last post). I also have this:

This is untouched by me since installing Windows 10. Are there any not-checked check boxes that should be checked?

Unfortunately I’m not a developer and have very little experience in the area of install not working.
All I was chiming in on was the fact that windows does indeed have a manual check for update button. And according to your windows update image your system has not checked for updates in 5 days. I did the check for update button on my computer just now and it found update(s) that need to be installed. I do a manual check for update usually twice a week and tend to find some.

Hopefully someone else can assist you in your install issue.

I rebooted the machine and it tried again and this time the install ran. I don’t know what changed, but it worked. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.
