Package Building issues if calling VIs under "C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\"

[jimkring]

Reported here

VIPM 2022.0 (build 2371), LabVIEW 2022 Q3, DAQmx 2022 Q3

I get an error stating that DAQmx VIs are missing. See below. The VIs are, in fact, not in the path that VIPM is looking for them, I'm not sure how to get VIPM to look for them in their actual location.  

Instead of being installed in:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2022\vi.lib\DAQmx

My files are installed in:

C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\nidaqmx\1\vi.lib\DAQmx

I've done nothing special during installation - using default values when presented with any options during LabVIEW / DAQmx installation.

I've done a mass compile, hoping that would fix whatever links are no good but I still get the error. I've verified that my code is working so I know LabVIEW is happily linking to the path that these files actually exist in.

I've searched the knowledgebase articles and NI forums but can't find anything that fits this situation and am not sure what my next step should be. Any ideas are welcome.

Hi.
I have the same issue with LabView 2023 32bit. When I tried to build a VIPM package so that dependencies points to the NI DMM library the VIPM builder gives an error message.

LV2023 Q3 (32-bit) 23.3f0 (pro edition)
VIPM 2023.3 (build 2516) Jun 28 2023 (pro edition)
NI MAX 2023 Q3
NI DMM 2023 Q3

• Lot of the other NI 2023 Q3 instrument drivers.

The VIPM builder tries to find the NI DMM drivers under:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2023\instr.lib\

The correct location is:
C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\nidmm\1\instr.lib\

LabView 2023 project mass compile works fine and my DMM LV library works fine (it founds the correct NI DMM driver), only VIPM package builder has an issue.

Do you have any solution or workaround method to get this issue handled?

Thank you.

See my workaround in original reported issue here.

Thank you, the package builder works with that workaround.
