Rhino 8.21 crashing while loading plugins

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Yes that is correct.

I find this interesting, I wonder what the problem is.

For me the Windows 10 update has been problematic. Ever since I had that installed I have been unable to build Rhino on that machine. Visual Studio 2022 just keeps thinking some SDKs aren’t installed, even though they are. I am however able to start Rhino 8.21 and 8.22 just fine.

23

Now that RhinoCycles.rhp is disabled the other plugins load and operate fine.Did RhinoCycles.rhp get patched in 8.21? Or is it a bigger issue with win10?

24

I updated to 8.21.25168.13001 last night and the issue persists. Any other ideas? I’m currently using arctic mode with render materials turned on as a stop gap measure.

The crash report you sent in looks like the post I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/78598141 .

The reporter mentions that they were able to fix this by repairing one of the redistributable installs:

I personally managed to restore normal operation of my programs, by pressing Repair in Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) - 14.40.33810, which restored C:\Windows\System32\msvcp140.dll to version 14.40.33810.0.

@benji.cox can you please try repairing this on your system?

27

the repair option can be found here..

  1. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  2. Right-click Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and choose Repair.
28

That was it. Thank you!

I’m glad this worked!

I just had the same issue, and repairing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable solved it. Rhino 8.21 and Rhino 8.22. The crashing occurred after applying Windows updates, which seems to have touched that redistributable, according to the date in Settings → Apps. For anyone else with this issue, there are a lot of similarly named redistributables: look for one with a recent install/modification date, or one named like 2015-2023.

31

Interestingly this issue recurred for me after I uninstalled an optional windows feature.

32

Sounds like the Windows installation procedures mess up things. Did the previous fix work here too?

33

yes. repairing the same C++ libraries fixed it.

34

I need to stop updating windows 10. I just installed the newest update and it broke the x64 runtimes again

My issue also got solved with this troubleshoot, thank you so much for sharing.
