Hi Wang Wei

thanks for the message.
I'd actually need to have a little more information: does Window say that the 'Package is corrupt'?

In that case, you simply need to download it again. Otherwise, I'll be glad to help further. Could you then send a screenshot?

I don't know if Wang Wei and I are having the same issue but I cannot install Weaverbird and I use windows 7.  After I go through the install manager I am unable to use WB.  I do not have access to the command line commands and WB does not show up in GH.  

I get no messages that say 'Package is Corrupt'

I'm using Rhino 5 and GH 0.9.0

I can open the Rhino WB examples but the GH WB won't work.

I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks.

Hi Jake

I am not sure right now: if you do not have Rhino 4, you might not be able to install at all. The current wb does not know of the existence of Rhino 5. I am preparing a new release, and that will have the needed updates.

Right now, you can download the non-admin version from here: http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/get-wb-no-admin and follow the instructions carefully. Please remember where you save that zipped release, as you will need to remove it manually.

I hope this helps,

Giulio

I was able to take the time to explore this option.  Following the instructions WB successfully installed into GH.  I tried a few components and it seems to be working fine. (I didn't try baking anything yet).

 

When I tried to load the the RHP file it opened a version of Rhino 4 that I still had on my computer.  I really wanted to use WB in GH so I am not bothered about it not loading inside R5.

Thanks for your help Giulio!

Sure, thanks for letting me know. If you want to use commands in Rhino 5, you can just drag-and-drop the RHP onto Rhino 5. That does the same as the "load" option in Rhino 4.

(This issue is resolved in the Weaverbird 0.7 series)
