Missing reference after switching laptop

I just switched to a different computer and copied over my visual studio projects. When I opened a Rhino plugin project, the references were missing. I thought the directory was wrong so I pointed them to the right places on C drive. But when I tried to build, it still reported all the Rhino/Grasshopper references missing. All seems fine from the look of this list.

Any ideas?
Windows 11, Visual Studio 2017 free version

Any reason you’re not using the Nuget packages?

Only reason would be I’m not familiar with the tool.
I went on Nuget and searched Rhino and Grasshopper. Installed the older versions of RhinoCommon and Grasshopper packages. Looks like everything is fixed.

What does Nuget do that I missed when referencing the missing dlls from disk?

It makes switching devices much easier :wink:

I read this as you copied / pasted manually, if that’s correct and you’re not already I would highly recommend using GitHub or another online git tool. It makes all of this much easier and makes data loss much less likely

gotta be some of those XMLs aren’t updated even when I re-link the DLLs manually.

yes they are on github but it was my bad habit of leaving changes uncommitted.
