Droppped the .rhi file into rhino and this error (screenshot) popped up.

Following instructions on this page I copy the summary below and attached the latest log.

By my own means I associated the RHI file to Rhino, dropped it into the Rhino Canvas, and Rhino entered an endless loop of opening new Rhino windows that forced me to shut down my pc.

Thanks for any help,

Rhino can’t handle *.rhi files.You can manually associate *.rhi files to Rhino Installer Engine, in the following location:

C:\Program Files\McNeel\Rhino Installer Engine\x64\rhiexec.exe

This method works for *.rhp files not *.rhi files.
