I can’t install LunchBox. When I get to the point where Rhino opens and I press install it says “Changes have been detected that cannot be completed while Rhino is open. Please restart Rhino.” But I restart it, restart the computer and nothing… Always the same message.
are you installing this through _PackageManager?
pls run _SystemInfo and post back the results
If you have wrong .DotNetRuntime in use, that can also mix things. Using NETFramework and downloading a pluging withc uses NETCore gives you this bug that Rhino says plugin is installed, but you cant find it inside Grasshopper.
Solution, download older version of a plugin if that would be in NETFramework, or change your Rhino to use NETCore
I’m installing it through Food4Rhino

Thank you,
So either of the following:
Are you running Rhino in .Net 4.8 for a specific reason?
If not, try _SetDotNetRuntime and set it to .Net Core
Hi! Thanks for the advice ! I changed it to Net 4.8 by accident and when I changed it back to Net Core and it works.
Thank again!
Hey @Gijs !!
This is my system info and I tried the method that you mentioned before but it still wont let me download lunchbox. I tried to download it from Food4Rhino but it opened package manager in rhino instead. Please help & Thank you so much!!

Hi Ashiku -
The button on the Food4Rhino page for the Rhino 8 version says “Install”, not “Download” as for the older versions. Clicking that button will open the Package Manager and find the LunchBox plug-in. You then click the Install button in the Package Manager and restart Rhino.
