Hi Peter,

 

You have two copies of the StructDrawRhino .gha file on your computer.

You can delete the folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Rhinoceros 4.0\Plug-ins\SSI and run the installers again and see if it helps.

 

If not, check your libraries folder (Grasshopper menu File-Special Folders-Components Folders) and see if anything with SDR is located in there.  If so, please delete it.

 

Let me know if neither step helps.

 

Cheers,

 

Jon

This occurs when there are two copies of the file "sdrGH.gha" within folders Grasshopper loads components from.  If you drag and drop this file over the grasshopper canvas, it will relocate a copy of the file into the grasshopper user folder.  Are you sure it is not in there?  Refer image below.

The other likely user change that might cause this is manually relocating the plugin folder (win7 something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Rhinoceros 4.0\Plug-ins\SSI ), then updating the plugin (and the installer won't detect the relocated position).  Would this make sense?

Unfortunately searching your hard disk for the above file might not necessarily reveal a file within the "user" folder, I'll suggest to David about means of identifying the folder an addon is loaded from to make this easier.

I'll help further if this doesn't help resolve.
