Hi Sindrawans -

Is there any error message from Rhino 7 or does it appear and then simply disappear from the Windows Task Manager? Have you tried a Repair of the Rhino 7 installation in the Windows Control Panel? Have you uninstalled Enscape?

There are no error messages from Rhino 7; it simply disappears from the Task Manager. I have already uninstalled and repaired the Rhino 7 installation and also uninstalled Enscape.

Hi Sindrawans -

Does that mean that after Enscape is uninstalled and then the Rhino 7 installation is repaired, Rhino 7 still doesn’t launch?
