I’m a big fan of JKI VIPM, and I’ve been usen Source code control with labview for some years (First with mercurial and now with GIT). Following the good practices with SCC and LabVIEW I always check the separate compiled code from vi to avoid unwanted changes on Vis.
In the other hand I’ve read that the performance of labview is better with the compiled code in the VI. Besides that the labview IDE does not allow you clear compiled cache of some of your vis, you have to delete all the compiled cache…When I have some compilation errors and I delete the compiled cache It takes a lot of time to open again the project…
My question is… VIPM allows you to execute some code after the package installation (post-installation-action). Could it be a good idea to unmark the separate compiled code programmatically on each installed file (vi, ctl, class, lvlib… )?.
Maybe I have to make this question in VIPM forums also, to check when is executed that post-installation-action, if it is executed before or after the masscompiling
 
Thanks!!

VIPM.io now allows you to post LabVIEW Resources, Ideas, and Tools. For example, you could post a link to a video tutorial or blog article about a package. You can also post ideas, like feature requests or new tools. Best of all, package developers are notified when you post your ideas and resources, and you can comment and discuss posts with the community. Take a look at this video to learn more: https://www.vipm.io/posts/664960df-f111-4e13-989a-24be8207182d/

Hello everybody!
Wondering how many people have tried the new vipm.io site. We have added a ton of features to make it easy to Discover LabVIEW Tools and there are some cool ones coming soon.
Check it out and let me know what you think 😀

I am using the newest version (2020.1) of VIPM, but I had this same issue with the release of 2020.
For two of the packages that I have created for internal repos, VIPM has decided that I need a System Package.   The posts I have seem from JKI indicate that this is a sub-package that is used internally to the main package, and should be automatically included.
However, after I am seeing issues on any PC other than the PC where the package was built.
Is there a setting I am missing?
 
Showing the (System) package as a dependency:

 
Package Configuration in the VI Package Configuration Editor
 

 
Package installed, on the PC where the package was initially created (no issues, no exclamation mark)
 

 

 
Package when installed on another PC (NOTICE: the System Package name has changed and there is a red exclamation mark, but there are no errors shown on install of the package).

 

Hi,
Over night something changed on my windows 10 build server and I can now no longer open VIPM. It just shows the splash screen and then closes again.
Here's the log file:

Any idea where the files are that it doesn't have the right permissions for?
