How to install DQMH in a computer with no internet access

Solved!
Go to solution

We have been getting this question and thought we would share the answer here to help others.

Question:

I have installed DQMH on a Windows machine that has internet access. I have completed the first part of my project. Now I need to move my LabVIEW program to a computer that cannot have internet access. How do I get DQMH installed on that computer for my program to work?

Create a vipc file

You will need VIPM pro*.

  1. Open VIPM
  2. Go to Window>>Show VI Package Configuration Editor
  3. Scan Project for Package Dependencies
  4. Follow the prompts to scan your project. This will create a configuration file that includes all of your project's dependencies.
  5. Once in the other machine, right click on the vipc file and select "Apply configuration", this will install the packages.

* If you don't have VIPM pro, you can enable the evaluation version and create the vipc file.

The target machine does not need to have VIPM pro, vipc files can be applied using the VIPM free version.

How to add additional packages to the vipc file

The DQMH productivity tools (scripting tools) will not be included using the method above. If you plan on continuing development on the target machine, you will have to manually add those dependencies to your vipc file.

Accomplish this by going to the main JKI VI Package Manager window (leaving the Package Configuration Editor open) and there search for all the Delacor packages. Right click on the delacor packages and send them to the configuraiton file.

FTP method

This method is a lot slower and not as a straight forward. The LabVIEW Tools Network has an ftp server with all of the packages, these can be found here: http://download.ni.com/evaluation/labview/lvtn/vipm/packages/

There you can browse for the packages you want to download and download the packages you need. You only need the files with extension .vip and the version is part of the name.

Another option is to copy the packages from the VIPM cache on the development machine located here: C:\ProgramData\JKI\VIPM\cache. Look for the *.vip filenames and version you need, just as Fab suggested for the FTP method.

Is there any way to install this software framework without using VIPM at all?
Installation of VIPM is difficult in some runtimes, e.g. Linux. I managed to get it to work, but it is troublesome and requires root privileges to run.

Updated solution:

 

You can now access all DQMH versions as a vipc --> https://dqmh.org/#download

 

Just download the vipc you want and install it with VIPM.

 

NOTE: so far the DQMH Consortium is not providing a way to install DQMH without VIPM
