Grasshopper loading errors

Grasshopper

Hello, I was done downloading some plugins from the package manager and manually to grasshopper (pufferfish and ladybug, but I made sure to unblock). After restarting rhino and grasshopper, I got the pop-up in grasshopper loading errors. I have also downloaded the .NET packages and my rhino 8 works fine, but I think the associated plugin that led to this error is pacyhderm. How do I resolve this? The second image is also an error, but I’m not sure what it is. Thanks.

Hi Vania -

Have you tried deleting that plug-in?

When a tile is red, it means that the file is no longer available. It was either deleted, renamed, moved, or the server/service the file is on is not accessible.

Unfortunately the plugin is essential for my research, so I need the plugin. I’m trying to find way where I don’t have to delete the plugin, unless the plugin is actually incompatible with rhino 8 (but I assume it should be compatible, otherwise it won’t show up in the Package Manager where I installed it). Also for the second image, thanks for clarifying that, I suppose it’s just the rhino installer that went missing as I always delete the setup after the app is running.

Hi Vania -

As a quick test, you could run the Rhino SetDotNetRuntime command and switch from the Rhino 8 default “NETCore” to the legacy “NETFramework” and see if that helps. If not, I’d contact the plug-in author to check compatibility and switch back to the default runtime.

The Package Manager is not aware of compatibility issues, and it’s up to the author to make sure that plug-ins only show up on supported versions.

Do you run the Rhino installer through Grasshopper?

Apparently it still has the error after switching to NETFramework, so I think I will have to either uninstall the plugin and find an alternative one or I will contact the author. Also, can you elaborate on how to run the rhino installer through grasshopper? I don’t understand that part, Thanks a lot

Hi Vania -

Neither do I. :see_no_evil:
The only files that appear on that Grasshopper splash screen are files that have been opened in Grasshopper. You wrote that the red one in your image probably was the Rhino installer, but for that to appear there, you’d have to have installed Rhino by opening the installer in Grasshopper…

I resorted to just uninstalling the pachyderm plugin. Apparently it couldn’t be used anyway, probably not compatible with the newest version of rhino (rhino 8). But thanks so much for the help :grin:
