Rhino 8.7 yak cannot load DocoptNet

Hello,
after an update to candidate service release 7 yak cli has stopped working and displays the following error

Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'DocoptNet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7a38c71da49a547e'. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'DocoptNet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7a38c71da49a547e'
   at Yak.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)

it seems the docopt library is not packaged with the Rhino 8 installation

Hey @Christos_Spathis,

Could you try a repair on Rhino 8 in System Settings > Apps > Installed Apps? This file should be included, but one of the service release candidates had packaged an incorrect version then later rolled back which can cause this problem.

Cheers,
Curtis.

Dear @curtisw,

I have update from the SR 8.6 to the SR 8.11.24254.15001, 2024-09-10 and now I have the same problem.

Best regards

Hi @GaeChrisRuvio,

Did you try a repair as suggested?

I have installed the last update 8.14, the problem has not recurred.

Thanks and best regards

I suspect, the problem recures in Rhino8 SR20: Within installation of a plugin (which was running in SR6 succesfully) via yak:
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ā€˜DocoptNet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7a38c71da49a547eā€™. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
File name: ā€˜DocoptNet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7a38c71da49a547eā€™
at Yak.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)

Is there any solution for that problem?

I canā€™t seem to replicate this with Rhino 8.20. What command(s) are you executing? Also, could you try running a ā€œrepairā€ from the installer?

Cheers,
Curtis.

Thank you Curtis. After a repair of the installer the yak.exe works properly and the installation of the regarding plugins was successful. I have no idea what went wrong with the Rhino installation (upgrade from SR6 to SR20) yesterday.
