iannicholson Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) *SEE EDIT BELOW* I see that MGI has been updating their (excellent, btw) freeware VI library (http://www.mooregood...abViewStuff.htm). Unfortunately, it looks as though they are publishing versions saved in the newest LabVIEW versions, since the 3.8-10 version doesn't want to install in VIPM for me. This presents me with a problem. I have customers on executables built with 8.6.1, and it is not ideal for me to ask anyone who updates to download the 2009 RTE as well (don't even have 2010 yet). Does anyone have the latest MGI VIs saved in LabVIEW 8.6.1? If nobody has them available, I can ask MGI, but I don't want to ask too much of them Thanks to anyone who can help. *EDIT* I apologize to MGI, but apparently there is a bug in VIPM that may cause this (can be caused by read-only files in the package, among other possibilities). I had the latest two versions on my hard drive, so I tried opening both at the same time, and I was able to install the latest one without trouble.

jgcode Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 From this snapshot, it says that >=8.0 is supported. I can't check on a lower version at the moment, but what is happening on your install? Please post screenshot etc... Cheers -JG Quote Link to comment

jgcode Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 JG, Sorry, I got a notification of your post as I was submitting my update. Check my edit above! Thanks though! No probs. I am aware of the read-only issue (as I have posted on the thread in one of the links you referenced) and that is one of the reasons I was asking for a screenshot. Quote Link to comment

At the end of the day we are all just trying to help each other / looking for help. I am just glad you got it sorted. (not that your post was silly) but I have done more than my fair share of silly posts Quote Link to comment
Jim Kring Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I apologize to MGI, but apparently there is a bug in VIPM that may cause this (can be caused by read-only files in the package, among other possibilities).

Descriptions here: http://forums.jkisof...?showtopic=1443 and here: http://forums.jkisof...?showtopic=1465. He there! Sorry for the trouble, but I have good news This bug (9665: VIPM shows errors when installing a package with read-only files inside) has been fixed in VIPM 2010.0.1.
