Rhino Installer Engine

Hi,

I was reading the Rhino Installer Engine (https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/general/rhino-installer-engine), and I have some questions?

  1. Is it working on Rhino 6.0? If yes, then I follow the folders structure: PluginName > Rhino 6.0 > x64 > MyPlugin? But now Rhino 6.0 is just 64 bits.

  2. About updates, just the user needs to run the new installer, and the local plugin will be updated?

Thank you!

Luca

  1. Yes, it is working in Rhino 6. The Rhino Installer Engine is a little bit more intelligent in Rhino 6, and can detect which version of Rhino the rhp was compiled for (including rhp compiled for Rhino 5). In most cases, you don’t need to add the extra folders (Rhino 6.0, x64). We might need to update the documentation on this. Do you have a Rhino 5 version of the rhp as well?
  2. Correct.

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your answers.

Do you have a Rhino 5 version of the rhp as well?

Yes! That’s the plan. The plug-in is pure .NET and RhinoCommon, then I think I don’t need to build 32bit and 64bit.

Thanks,

Luca
