Hello. After installing ShapeDiver from PackageManager, I am getting this screen. Uninstall / fresh install didn’t help. Could someone from @shapediver help, please? I will try to install the plugin the old way, that should help. Anyway, this might be a bug?
This is likely happening precisely because you still have old ShapeDiver-related files in the components folder when you installed it “the old way”. Make sure to remove all gha and dll from there (including GrasshopperBitmap.gha/dll).

Thank you. It was because GrasshopperBitmap.dll was still present in “Libraries” folder. I didn’t know that this file is related to ShapeDiver.

Just to inform you: The issue was caused by installing “Rooster” plugin, which contains conflicting “GrasshopperBitmap” library. Deleting the library solves the issue.

Had the same issue with the Rooster plugin. Your post helped me solve the issue. Thanks
how did you know the plugin that has the conflict with Shapediver, I am trying to install it but it gives me a same looking error
Please check the warning section in this page and let me know if you are still experiencing issues:
If you had previously installed old versions of the plugin by copying components in the Grasshopper “Components” folder (on windows, usually
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper), make sure to remove all ShapeDiver-related files from this folder. This includes, in particular:
BitmapComponent.ghaGrasshopperBitmap.dllGrasshopperHyperGoo.dllGrasshopperHyperGooComponents.gha- … and all
dllandghafiles that start withShapeDiverorSd.
it gives me the same error
I cleaned everything uninstalled it via the package manager and installed it again
this is all the shape diver files on my PC after installing
Could you double-check the contents of your Components folder? Ideally post a screenshot of it, something like:
\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries
There might in particular be files that are linked to ShapeDiver without containing it in the name, for example GrasshopperBitmap.dll and other files mentioned in my post above.
It seems that the AutoMapper.dll dependency used in the ShapeDiver plugin is also included in another plugin you have installed, and it creates conflicts between them. We are planning to get rid of this dependency in the future, which will solve the problem on our side. For now, you could try to find which other plugin is making use of it, and (in case you don’t need it for this project) delete the plugin temporarily.
