4 telling me this :
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154."
When looking on google for help i found out that the error 80040154 wasn't only realted to grasshopper but to many other softwares and to the NET framework (i'm using the latest version of it 4.6.2 - installed yesterday, thinking that it might solve the problem but it doesn't) i'm using windows 7 and rhino 5
the gh file works on my friends pc so it clearly doesn't come from the file, either the gh or the excel one.
Any help will be much welcome!
And talk to me as if i didn't know anything about computers, because i don't know much.
THANKS A LOT! …
entioned topic, for some reason your PC is blocking the "Terrain Generator" component from downloading the terrain file.Besides shutting all the firewalls, the mentioned topic also advises to modify the "UAC" settings, completely turn off your Antivirus and run Rhino as an administrator: Can you please also try doing those too (here are all the steps from that topic):
1) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.2) Restart your PC3) When it boots up again, 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".4) Turn off your Windows Firewall.5) Then turn off your custom Firewall (in case you have another one, besides standard Windows Firewall).6) Then completely turn off your Antivirus.7) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".

home PC and it worked without any issues.
Do you have Administrator privileges on your PC?
Is it possible that you do this:1) Set all _runIt inputs in your tuc_terrain.gh file to False.2) Save an close the tuc_terrain.gh file.3) Delete your "c:/gismo" folder4) Open again your tuc_terrain.gh file in Grasshopper.5) Run the "OSM shapes" component by setting its _runIt input to True.6) If you again get the "Invalid shapes" warning, then set the _runIt input of the "OSM shapes" component to False.7) Wait at least a couple of seconds (let' say 6 or 7 seconds)!8) Set the _runIt input of the "OSM shapes" component to True again.
What happens then?…

imilar 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 Rhino2) 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 here. Here 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...).…

r would not run until I installed .NET 2.0 Framwork. I did that and now when I try to run Grasshopper, both Grasshopper and Rhino crash. I am totally stuck here and not sure what is going on. Any input would be great. Thanks…
I'm running Rhino 4 SP9 on a Windows 8 PC and I could not get GH to work. I keep getting a message that says "unable to load DLL 'rhcommon_c' etc..." Can anyone help?

kangaroo-benchmarking-1) several people tested the same code on their machines and reported the results. This test was with a Kangaroo script (timing only the computation, not Rhino or Grasshopper display), but I imagine the results would be pretty similar with other types of .net scripts.
The i7 processors (in particular the Devil's Canyon generation) performed significantly better than the Xeons, (though I don't think anyone testing was on a very recent Xeon, would be interesting to see how they compare).…
s helped in the past...but again I must be missing something simple.
here is the code and error--attached are the def and (.3DM) file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import ghpythonlib.components as ghcomp
#print UV
pc = []
maxVecs = []
revVec = []
movedPts = []
pc = ghcomp.PrincipalCurvature(surface, UV)
maxVecs = pc[4]
frames = pc[0]
for vector in maxVecs:
#print vector
tempVec = rs.VectorReverse(vector)
revVec.append(tempVec)
for i in range(len(frames)):
#print frames[i]
print revVec[i]
tempPt = rs.MoveObject(frames[i],revVec[i])
#movedPts.append(tempPt)
vectors = revVec
--------------------------------------------------------------

Any help with understanding what's going on would be really helpful.
