Hi guys
i have a problem with plugin installation.
When i install .rhi plugin file, the installation proceed correctly but when i open rhino appear a message that tell me “error loading plugin”.
in the plugin list i don’t see the plugin that i’ve installed, but there is in C:\user\appdata…plugin folder
thankyou so much
Which plugin is it?
speckle
i already write on speckle forum but i search other general info
I observe the identical problem with a self written plugin.
Executing the plugin_X.rhi seems to work fine. I also see the installed plugin in folder
C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\Plug-ins\plugin_X (<GUID>)\<version>\Rhino7\plugin_X.rhp.
But when I start Rhino7 afterwards during completion of the plugin installation I get the “error loading plugin” message mentioned above.
To enable using of the plugin I afterwards can install via the pluginManager using the rhp file from the previously created folder (see above), but I would prefer to fix the installation via the rhi file.
Hi Dale,
thank you for your reply.
This plugin is not a public one, you will find it here aqRay_Release1.3b.rhi
It is compiled for Win10 x64 and requires
to show its GUI. But I think for only installing the plugin (to reproduce the “error loading plugin” message ) these components need not be installed.
Kind regards
Roland
Hi @RoLippold,
Your plug-in installed for me without any issue.
Not sure where that leaves us.

Hi Dale,
thanks for your test. I am also not able to reproduce the problem on my machine, but I observed it on machine of a colleague. So I will track it further.

Hi Dale,
unfortunately I could not find out meanwhile what’s the reason for the
“error loading plugin” message when executing my suspicious rhi on certain machines. Could you give me a hint, which circumstances could lead to such error behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Roland
Hi @RoLippold,
Sorry, I don’t have any hints.
Perhaps it’s time to move over to the Package Manager?
Note, the Rhino Installer Engine is obsolete.

Hi Dale,
thanks for your recommendation of the Rhino Package Manager Yak. I use it now and the distribution of my plugins became more convenient for the users.
Now I would like to create the *.yak file within the CI process in azure. Is there a possibility to access the yak.exe within azure pipelines?
Kind regards, Roland
Hi Roland, take a look at this!
Hi Will,
Downloading yak.exe via curl is all what I need for my CI job.
Thank you, Roland
