toolbar maxwell for Rhino problem

Hi, I had today an automatic update of my Rhino 5 beta 64-bit(Beta 2012-07-11 (11-Jul-2012)).
As usual the Maxwell-Rhino toolbar was gone and I had to open it again. It never was a problem until now.
Now all I get is a smiley icon and "toolbar".
I have uninstalled the maxwell plugin for rhino and reinstalled but it didn't help and I get the same result.
Do you have any idea? Can you help? Thanks. Alex

Uninstalling/reinstalling won't do anything, because the plugin toolbar is created at your request, not by the installer. Probably what you want to do (can't say for sure, since I don't yet have your version of Rhino) is to use Rhino's toolbar manager to close the Maxwell toolbar, then run the Maxwell_ToolbarReset command.

JD, Thanks a lot for the reply. To make it work again I had to close Maxwelltoolbar_tb in the toolbars rhino options and to delete Maxwelltoolbar.tb from ...C:\users\owner\appdata\roaming\maxwelldotnet\plugins\rhino\toolbar
and MaxwellToolbar_tb.rui from C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\UI and then run the maxwellreset_toolbar command.
It works but I get theses messages:
Maxwell: warning: The Maxwell toolbar file (C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Rhino\Toolbar\MaxwellToolbar.tb) appears to be damaged. (caller=ShowToolbar)
and
Maxwell: warning: Please copy [Program Files]\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Rhino\4.0\Toolbar\MaxwellToolbar.tb to a convenient place and load it using the Rhino toolbar manager. (caller=Maxwell_ToolbarReset.
The rhino toolbar manager only opens the MaxwellToolbar_tb.rui.
Thanks again,
Alex

You should be able to ignore the errors; they only appear because you are running Rhino V5, and the toolbar system works differently in V5. When you attempt to load a .tb file, V5 converts it into an .rui file -- that is the toolbar file that is used by V5 from then on, though I can't guarantee the .tb might not be remembered by Rhino and used as a backup (it would be converted to .rui once again) in some case.
