Please contact [email protected] if you have installation problems and cannot resolve them.
Contact us if problems loading the plugin, package manager typically makes installation easy and reliable, installation issues are infrequent.
Sometimes however after updating a plugin, users experience a loading error. Usually this will report that plugin id is already in use. (Please post to this discussion if you are experiencing the problem so it might be resolved) https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/unable-to-load-plug-in-id-already-in-use/153552
This suggests that restarting Rhino might fix this issue, or you can uninstall the plugin from package manager, restart rhino and install anew. Alternatively the user needs to manually purge older versions of the plugin. You can locate the plugin install folder as per this screen capture (change plugin name if not ggRhinoIFC).
You can then browse back one parent level folder. Close Rhino application, and select all folders with the exception of latest version. Delete the folders. Restart Rhino and the installation should be repaired.
Refer to https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/rhinocommon/create-deploy-plugin-toolbar/ for staging of toolbars.
Rhino should copy the .rui file from the plugin folder above, to
%APPDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros<version>\UI\Plug-ins\
You can try manually copying the file from plugin folder to Rhino location if you want force the loading of a toolbar.

Observe Grasshopper Loading Errors
As grasshopper starts it will generally provide errors if something has not loaded correctly. Check for loading error reports as grasshopper starts. If specific to Geometry Gym then please contact us as soon as possible.
Check Grasshopper Developer Settings
Run Rhino command GrasshopperDeveloperSettings and tick COFF loading. Previous versions commonly required COFF loading to be not checked, so try toggling if having problems.
If you receive an error message like the one below when trying to open grasshopper it is likely that something is blocking the Rhino Plug-in counterpart from loading in Rhino.
Our Grasshopper add-ins are typically a satellite to our rhino plugin (this might change in the future). So you need to ensure the rhino plugin is loaded prior to Grasshopper starting. First, check it's not load protected in rhino options. Make sure it's not load protected and scheduled to load rhino plugin on rhino startup.
