Unable to install Grasshopper_0.9.56.0.rhi on Rhino5

by Rubén Bodewig

Hi!

I'm using Rhino 5.0  (5.1.20927.2230, 09/27/2012)

on Windows 7 x64

and I'm trying to install the latest version of Grasshopper (0.9.56.0) but I can't.

When I open the file,  the assistant shows an error window with this message: 

"This package is not compatible with the Rhino Installer Engine". 

I've been reading on this link: 

http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/rhinoinstallerengine/overview

And I found this: 
http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/rhinoinstallerengine/dotnet

http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/rhinoinstallerengine/cpp

I'm not pretty sure if the last two links are the solution, but I don't know how to introduce this changes. 
Is there any tutorial or help to solve this problem?

Also I've tried a different thing: change the grasshopper_0.9.56.0.rhi extension to .zip

Then, I've moved all the files inside to the Plugins/Grasshopper folder, but it still opens the previous installed Grasshopper version (0.9.00.14) and still notices me about the new Grasshopper version available to download. 

Thank you for your time

    A colleague is getting the same error message here trying to install 0.9.0070 running R5 SR7 64-bit...we've tried opening the RHI file itself, tried opening it specifically selecting rhiexec.exe, have tried dragging it into rhino...he's contacting Brian now, is there anything else we might have missed?

      HAVE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM -
      1) change Grasshopper.rhi type to .zip - than unpuck to C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\Grasshopper folder
      2)Open Rhino, skip all error messages
      3) Go to Tools - options - plugins, than press "install"
      4) Find a Rhino.rhp file, located at C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\Grasshopper (you have created it at step 1 and open it
      5) if you have message, that it has been created at other computer, check this link: http://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/unblockplugin
      6) If all is ok, you should see the grasshopper install window
