Change rhino directory...

[leida]

In fact, Rhino was originally on my first hard drive.
I move it to the second one but i have an error when opening it (cannot find the .db, or something like that...)
Is it necessary to re-install rhino or is it possible to change some parameters somewhere ?
Thanks by advance

The easiest way to do this is to redownload the demo and install it on your new HD. Once that is working simply copy the individual folders contents from the old version to the new one making sure all files are at the correct level.

When it says it can't find the .db file, it normally pops up a window where you can select where the rhino.db file is now located. After this, it should load from its new location just fine.

Hye !
well,it's right, i've the window information but after that, no window to choose a directory, just a error message saying "exception at ***", (a hexa number).
I think i will follow Daniel's advice, re install the demo.

Yeah Daniel's method will work for sure. You can also do it that way, without reinstalling (I assume it's Rhino 2 we're talking about):

1) Create a new text file with notepad
2) Type the following:

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigTick\Rhino2]
"path"="C:\VstPlugins\Rhino2\" 

Of course you need to use your own path here. Just make sure the value you define as a trailing backslash, as in the example above.

3) Rename the file as "rhinopath.reg"
4) Double-click the file and answer "yes" to the message prompt

Sure. Just don't forget that trailing backslash.
