Rhino 8 update fails "older version of Rhino 8 cannot be removed"


upgrade from SR 4 to SR 5, it happens both

  • after clicking the button in splash screen
  • after manually downloading the installer

Make sure there is no Rhino instance still running. Do that using the task manager.

Killed one, tried again, it did not help.


The error code - cannot be cpied for some reason:

the log:
Rhino_8_20240322133513.log (311.8 KB)

Seems like a 1603 error which may be related to either Windows updates or a dotnet framework error…

This is only for V6/V7 but…

Hey, I have the same issue, I tried to download Rhinoceros 8 and 7 but I receive the error code: rhino.msi:-2147023293. If you find a solution to the matter keep me updated, thanks
