Problems installing kangaroo

Hi, I am trying to install Kangaroo in a machine running Grasshopper 0.9.0076 and Rhino 5 SR 12.

When loading Grasshopper I get the following errors:

Object: MeshMachineComponent3 (level 1)
{
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
TargetInvocationException
}

Object: MeshMachineComponent3 (level 2)
{
Could not load file or assembly 'Plankton, Version=0.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
FileNotFoundException
}

Object: KangarooA (level 1)
{

}

Object: KangarooA (level 2)
{

FileNotFoundException
}

}

The Kangaroo main solver component is missing, as is Mesh Machine, but most of the other components are there:

I tried to install separately Kangaroo 2 and Kangaroo 0.99, in both cases I can't get it to work properly.

Files are not blocked and should be in the right folder.

Any suggestion as of why this is happening is much appreciated!
