Windows 10 Compatibility

Details

I am unable to install this from VIPM directly because package setting 'Compatible OS' is set to Windows 7/8 only. Unless my experience is an isolated incident, you'll need to release a new build with the Windows 10 support option enabled in your build spec. This is what I did from source (via your Github repo) to successfully install.
I'm using LabVIEW 2020 SP1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise x64

Dmytro It looks like you are not alone. I hit the wall with the Advanced Plotting Toolkit (https://www.vipm.io/posts/2de25b0c-baeb-4ace-aa7e-8fb53d315afc/). VIPM 2022 works OK, seems to be a problem with the latest version only. I've tested the installation of the WebView2 on the Windows 10 Pro 22H2, LabVIEW 2022 and VIPM 2022. All worked.

Dmytro Just to make more clear: VIPM 2022 worked, VIPM 2023 - does not.

Simon Klein very interesting... i didnt update to VIPM 2023 yet, will have a look. However, i did republish the latest version with "All windows" checked... I unselected XP and Vista before, because the had no edge support, but maybe this also deselects windows 10 and 11, because vipm 2020 had no options for them...

Dmytro I would be happy to check, but I can't download republished version of 2023. The download link from the page (https://www.vipm.io/desktop/) leads to the 2021 download page (https://www.jki.net/en/vipm-2021-download) and when I try to download, gives we this file (for Windows): vipm-22.0.2371-windows-setup.exe

Alexander Wolpe Oh, interesting. Dmytro is correct that I was using VIPM 2023. Sounds like pretty significant VIPM 2023 bug (FYI this version is in beta, so bug like this is not surprising. I'm sure JKI would appreciate the feedback so they can resolve the issue!). You can get VIPM 2023 RC1 here: https://forums.vipm.io/topic/7015-vipm-2023-rc1-for-windows-please-help-us-test-%F0%9F%9A%80/

Dmytro Version I've used for testing was from NI Package Manager, and it was referred as "2023 Q1". I do not know whether itwas RC1 or not.

Dmytro P.S. But taking into account what Simon said and the release date of the RC1, the RC1 still might contain the bug.

Dmytro I've made tests and could confirm that: * RC1 version and "Latest" version in NI Package Manager are the same thing (2023.1 build 2498 from Dec 19, 2022). * Bug is present in them.

Jim Kring Hi everyone. Thanks for posting about these issues. VIPM 2023 RC1 shipped with LabVIEW 2023 Q1. We also have an RC2 release that fixed a couple things. We're currently working on a 2023 Q3 release and fixing some issues. We'll do our best to stay on top of things. The bug reports really do help!
