Hi starfx,

Can you show what kind of text goes out from the "readMe!" output please?

Hi, djorde. Here is the error text:

Runtime error (Win32Exception): WindowsError
Traceback:

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for posting the text starfx.
The same issue has been reported last year, and solved.
MapWinGIS folder's had permission issues.

Try if that fix works for you as well:

1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino.
2) Find your "MapWinGIS" installation folder (for example: "C:\Program Files\MapWinGIS".
3) Right-click on the "MapWinGIS" folder,
then choose:
Properties > Security Tab > ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES > Edit >
and then check all checkboxes in the "Allow" column of the "Permission for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" window.
Attached below is a screenshot of mentioned checkboxes.

Screenshot is made for Windows 10.
If you have any other version of Windows 10, maybe there will be no "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" to choose. In that case you can try to select edit each of the groups.

4) Repeat step "3" on following folder and file as well (in case you have "MapWinGIS" installed in: "C:\Program Files\MapWinGIS" of course):

        "C:\Program Files\MapWinGIS\gdal-data"

        "C:\Program Files\MapWinGIS\gdal-data\osmconf.ini"

5) Run Rhino and Grasshopper again.

Please let us know the results

Dear Djordje,

I am having the same error code and tried what you mentioned above, unfortuantely it doesn't change anything. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Julian,
This issue is always caused by folder and file permissions.
Can you try to follow the upper steps again, but in the step 3, instead of "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" choose "Users (Desktop-***\Users)".
I attached a screenshot.
