Problems with MapWinGis installation

Hi guys,

I am writing for some informations about the installation process of MapWinGis. I downloaded and installed the version 4.9.4.2 from the Github folder but does not work. I already tryed to disinstall and install it over and over again but without any good result.

Any suggestion about this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Best

Angelo

Hi Angelo,
Sorry to hear that.

Would you be a bit more patient, so that we can try a couple of steps, please?
I would be very grateful for that.

1) Open the ironpython_admin.gh file attached below. Can you post a screenshot of what the message coming from its readMe! output looks like?
2) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.
3) Download "Revo Uninstaller Pro" from here. It is free for first 30 days, which is what we need.
4) Right click on the RevoUninProSetup.exe and check if the file is blocked. If it is, unblock it.
5) Run the RevoUninProSetup.exe file and install "Revo Uninstaller Pro".
6) Uninstall "MapWinGIS" with "Revo Uninstaller Pro". It is important that "Revo Uninstaller Pro" deletes not only files from MapWinGIS installation folder, but also all other leftovers (as registry inputs). Here is a small tutorial on how to do that. Watch it from 6:10 till the end.
7) Restart your PC
8) When your Windows boots up, make sure that you are logged in as Administrator!
9) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".
10) Turn off your Windows Firewall.
11) Then turn off your custom Firewall (in case you have another one, besides standard Windows Firewall).
12) Completely turn off your Antivirus.
13) Download again the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe.
exe file from here.
14) Right click on the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and see if it is blocked. If it is, unblock it.
15) Right click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and choose: "Run as"... Administrator.
16) One the installation preparation steps start, choose "Full installation". Wait for the MapWinGIS installation to finish.
17) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".
18) Open the the ironpython_admin.gh file again, and again post a screenshot of the message coming from its readMe! output.
19) Drop the "Gismo Gismo" component to Grasshopper canvas. Post a screenshot of the message coming out from its readMe! output.
