There are some good threads here on this topic:

But, as one who isn’t very current, I wanted to review and ask for any comments.
- Installation: There is no official way to install a GH component so I will continue with my .msi strategy.
- Install location: The folder \Application Data\Grasshopper\Libraries is the same with both Revit 5 and 6. So previous installations will automatically work and I can continue to install to this location.
- Components designed to work with Rhino 5 will work with Rhino 6. There are some new elements in 6 that will not work with 5. At least for a while I should either avoid using these new elements or give users a separate 5-compatible version.
Anything else to watch out for? Thanks in advance.
