Daniel Rudaz Hi, Workaround: the package can be installed on W10 using an old version of VIPM like 2021 (and not updating), when the tool was not checking you system version and the package limitation. The package works well on W10 and W11, so if the limitation could be removed, so we can work with an up-to-date version of VIPM. Thanks in advance.

Bas v. Etten So the workaround we are doing, is downloading the package from VIPM and opening the vip with 7zip as an archive, open the spec file with your favorite text editor and change this Exclusive_OS="Windows NT=6.2,Windows NT=6.1" to Exclusive_OS="ALL"
