Automatically check license agreement

Hi Grasshopper team,

I try to automatically install Grasshopper on numerous machines without the need of user interaction.

One problem I currently experience is the licenese agreement that pops up when Grasshopper is first started on a machine.

Is there a way to disable the agreement or set the registry key manually?

If the Answer should not be publicly available feel free to send me a PN.

(I am working for a university so we generally agree to the license agreement and thus the students themselves dont need to confirm it).

I am looking forward to your help :)

Thanks in advance

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

David Rutten is absent at the moment and might not see this question so I would direct it at Brian Gillespie - who is the Rhino product manager and responsible for the RHI installer engine - so chances are he would be best suited to answer it anyway.

Thanks!

One minor notice, the GH 9.75 is a RHP package (not the classic RHI installer anymore) or did i get something wrong?

When you downloaded the file did it save it as a ZIP file?

If so this is your browser interpreting the RHI file structure as a ZIP archive. Change the extension to .RHI and it should work as a Rhino Installer.

HAHA you`re right, thanks u solved another mystery (even tho I managed to install it manually by copying the files into the Rhino folder (not the common files folder) and executing the RHP file, I guess its not really a clean way of installing it)

It's not a registry key. You can distribute the settings xml file that is created by grasshopper after the first successful run. It should be located in %appdata%\Grasshopper\ or near there, I'm currently on an iPad and cannot check.

You're not absent, you're just without PC.

Have you presented your paper yet?

I managed to do it, (so other people with the same Problem can do it without testing):

Started Grasshopper once and confirmed the License agreement, then i went to %appdata%\Grasshopper\ copied the grasshopper_kernel.xml

On the Machine that Grasshopper gets deployed on:

manually create the Folder %appdata%\Grasshopper\ (its not there yet, just gets created after the first start of GH and we don't want to start it yet, cus it would ask for the License agreement)

and inserted the grasshopper_kernel.xml there.

Now GH won't ask for the License agreement anymore (the fact we manually created the %appdata%\Grasshopper\ folder doesnt impact GH at all)

Thanks for the fast help@all your support rocks!
