Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Issue with #Gismo. After installation of #Ladybug#GHPython and #MapWinGIS 5 I got a new issue.
I opened examples of Gismo from here https://github.com/stgeorges/gismo/tree/master/examples and got next message that suggested me to post this case here

Thank you for this information Giulio.

Good morning Roman,

The message that you got implies that MapWinGIS libraries haven't been registered to Windows registry.

For the start, what is your operating system (version and bit version)?

I use Windows 7 64

Hi Roman,

We haven't been able to clearly identify until now the actual reason why MapWinGIS libraries fail to be registered on some systems, but we have been able to fix the issue itself.

There was a similar topic with a Windows 10 user, which successfully fixed this issue.
If you are tiny little patient, I think we can try the same steps in your Windows 7 case.

For start, try these three steps:

1) Close Rhino. Restart your PC.
2) Once the PC boots up, double click on the "regMapWinGIS.cmd" file in "MapWinGIS" installation folder.
3) When it closes the Command Prompt window it opened, try running Rhino, Grasshopper and drop the "Gismo Gismo" component on the canvas (Grasshopper working area).

If this does not help (you get the same COM class factory CLSID error message coming out from the "Gismo Gismo" component), then try the following steps, one by one:

1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino
2) Run the Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstall your MapWinGIS application along with removing all the leftovers from the registry. You can download 30 days trial version of it from hereHere is a youtube example of a bit older Revo Uninstaller. But the important part is that is shows how registry leftovers are removed.
3) Restart your PC, and once it boots again, make sure that you are logged in as an Adminstrator!
4) 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".
5) Turn off your Antivirus, which ever it is.
6) Download the 64 bit version of v4.9.4.2 MapWinGIS.
7) Right click on downloaded MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file, and choose "Properties". If there is "Unblock" button click on it, and then click on "OK". If there is no "Unblock" button, just click on "OK".
8) Left double click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and install it to "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" folder. Choose "Full installation" during installation process!
9) In your Start menu's search box type: "CMD". Once the "Command prompt" appears do not left click on it! Instead right click on it, and choose "Run as Administrator".
10) A command prompt window will open. Type the following command:

"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx

If command does not result in an error message, then type this one afterwards:

"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx

11) If no error appeared again, then open your Rhino and Grasshopper and check what "Gismo Gismo" component prints from its "readMe!" output.

If errors appeared, please post their screenshots. Thank you in advance.

Please accept my apologies for the large number of steps. Some of them are quite simple actually (click on this, download that...).
