We have found incompability issues due to .NET Core versions in the latest Rhino Service Release. Please revert to version 1.23 of the plugin (and uncheck “Automatically update packages when Rhino starts”) until we work with McNeel to solve the issue.
If your definition had at some point ShapeDiver components in it, from an old version of the plugin, this might explain why you are seeing the last error. When you have reverted to 1.23, you can use the top-level ShapeDiver menu and click on the “Document > Remove payload” option.
I will update this topic once the issue with version 1.24 is fixed.
The version 1.24.1 of the ShapeDiver plugin has been released to the package manager. It should fix the issues mentioned above, while including the latest features.
