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...).…

run a single component per time? After running of which component, does Grasshopper get stuck?You might have to wait more than 30 minutes. Maybe you can leave your PC turned on during the night, and see what will happen in the morning?3) What are your latitude_ and longitude_ inputs coordinates?…

port.
In my case, I downloaded arduino installer again from arduino website, then I chosen correct port that "control panel > device and printer > Arduino Uno > choose correct COM".
Finally, I could enjoy arduino and firefly!
Thank you Andy!…

P.S. My PC is running now Windows 8 Enterprise N RTM x64 Build 9200 …

'Grasshopper. I've tried installing both from the McNeel website and from the Rhino downloads page. For assignment writing, the newly hired https://grabmypaper.com/ is working. Does anyone have suggestions for how I can fix this?…
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! …
