Unable to install Kangaroo latest version

Hi everyone,

I just got a new computer and try to install Kangaroo. Apparently it does not start properly I receved this message. I'm running the latest version of GH and RHino On a Windows 8.1 machine.

I did unblock all the .dll files and search for previuos versions (this is a new computer so no previous version).

I'm also attaching the loading exeptions as a txt file.

I've contacted Daniel diectly via email, but I havent receaved news from him

Any idea

This problem was mentioned by a few other people before and there are two things Daniel suggested: checking that the files are not "blocked" (i am guessing he means read-only) and deleting all other kangaroo gha and dll files from the computer (except the ones "installed", as in moved in the Libraries / UserObects folders). Unfortunately i followed both suggestions but i still get the errors.

Hi Claudio and Andrei,
A blocked file is different from read-only. When a dll or gha file comes from another computer, Windows sometimes blocks it from running for security reasons. If a file is blocked, this shows up in the file properties when right clicking it in explorer, and there will be a button saying "unblock" which you need to click and then "apply". This needs to be done for all the kangaroo and plankton dll AND gha files.
