Hi Bobby,

since 0.8.0011 Grasshopper has been compiled with newer runtimes. In short, you'll need to download and install the latest Microsoft C++ runtimes as per this post: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/grasshopper-080011-available

Hi, I've tried all the above sollutions - the thing is as I'm running windows on VM Ware it doesn't work - can't install the Microsoft updates you advised. Same problem with grasshopper - doesn't launch. I really need it urgently and if anyone can help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Why can't you install the Microsoft updates? Do you have user access restrictions?

no it's just I think since I'm using a mac and on VMware I can't install those updates

Is your VMware up to date?

I'm not a mac user and I know McNeel do not support Rhino run on VMware, but it seems to me the fact that you cannot install the Microsoft updates based on what your VMware is telling you about processor type, leads me to think its something to do with what VMware you have installed.
