What is RHI file?
The file with the extension RHI is the Plugin Files file type. Additionally, the Plugin Files category contains 179 of other files. Rhino Installer Engine Package Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Rhino 3D application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Robert McNeel & Associates.
How to open RHI file?
An often recurring problem with Rhino Installer Engine Package Format is that RHI is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RHI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RHI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Rhino 3D
In this case, you should first verify that the Rhino 3D application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Rhino 3D into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RHI files.
Programs to open RHI file
Remember to download programs supporting RHI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rhino 3D with RHI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RHI file to open in the Rhino 3D application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RHI file with the Rhino 3D application.
Step 3. Update Rhino 3D to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Rhino 3D program, it is possible that Rhino Installer Engine Package Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Robert McNeel & Associates page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RHI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RHI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RHI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RHI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RHI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RHI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RHI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RHI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
