Hello  
a strange thing happens to me between the plugins of the mcnell, practically are all mixed between version 6.5 and 7.  
I noticed this because I was exporting to iges and the prompt  
this message appeared:  
Testing C:\Program Files\Rhino WIP\Plug-ins\export\_IGES.rhp (and 29 other assemblies) for compatibility…  
-|//|—||/||–//|-/|-///–|-||//-/|  
Compatibility test succeeded in 9.15s  
the IGES export plugin is version 7.0…  
in the details says  
Guid 7f0ca561-0c7c-4cea-b822-b95ebe71c409  
file name C:\Program Files\Rhino WIP\Plug-ins\export\_IGES.rhp  
route register \HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\HKEY.0\Plug-Ins\f0ca561-0c7c-4cea-b822-b95ebe71c409

I have 67 plugins version 7  
some perform the compatibility test when I recall them others give me incompatible version as for peshtools and squish for example  
Same problem on different pc but less confused plugins

I have a YouTrack item to test with the latest 6.6 RC and 7.0 releases (from this week). It _should_ be fixed, but I haven’t gotten around to testing this yet.

If you don’t want to install newer versions yet you should be able to get things back to their proper versions by dragging&dropping the plug-ins from the install location on a running Rhino 6.5, then close and start Rhino 6.5 again.

Hi Nathan,

does your fix address this issue:

> [@Plugin version in R5 vs R6](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/plugin-version-in-r5-vs-r6/64397):
>
> We develop an in-house plug-in in Python that is compiled into an RHI with the Script Compiler. The plug-in properties would show a version such as 1.0.6710.28824. This is in R5 In R6, the version is shown as 1.0.0.0. This is inconsistent, and causes issues with our update check that we run when Rhino launches.

That looks like a separate issue.

You’re welcome. I ran into the same problem several times. The fix for this was made a week or two ago I think, but will take time to get to users if they’re not on the ‘hot track’ 🙂

I fixed it for myself with the same procedure.

should you need to add scripts to verify the plugin version  
Thank you again

Option Explicit

Call Main()  
Sub Main()  
Dim arrPlugins, strPlugin,arrInfo,i

arrPlugins = Rhino.PlugIns(0, 0)

```
If IsArray(arrPlugins) Then
	i = 0

		rhino.print text & "Name>" & strPlugin & " - Version>" & arrinfo(3) & vbnewline
