+ | **Problem: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Missing toolbars and no plug-ins loaded on Vista. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A small number of people have reported that installing Rhino V4 (SR2 and newer) on Vista results in no plug-ins and no toolbars loaded unless they are logged in and running as the Administrator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Solution: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Users report that if they turn off User Account Control (Control Panel - User Accounts), and temporarily disable any antivirus and system protection software before running the Rhino installation again, they solve the problem. | ||

+ | **Problem: | ||
+ | |||
+ | When installing Rhino 4.0, a message appears that says " | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Cause:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Windows Installer engine tries to determine if there is enough disk space on all your drives to install Rhino. For some reason, this process takes a very long time, or never completes. The real cause is buried somewhere in Microsoft' | ||
