Report Generation Toolkit dependency broken after installing LabVIEW 2026 Q1

[EnthusiasticTester]

Hi

Today I installed LabVIEW 2026 Q1. After installation I opened a project in LabVIEW 2024 Q1 that had a dependency to the report generation toolkit. Specifically the excel functions.

They were all missing. The folder was even removed from the LabVIEW 2024\vi.lib directory.

When i checked NI Package Manager it showed a LabVIEW 2026 Q1 Report Generation Toolkit was installed and I could not install the LabVIEW 2024 Q1 version because a newer version exists.

Is it correctly understood that installing LabVIEW 2026 Q1 breaks this dependency? Did i miss something? Is this a bug associated with bleeding-edge SW?

Thanks for reading 🙂

My best guess is that they moved the RGT to version agnostic LVAddons directory with a configuration to support only 2026+, someone else also reported a similar issue for the Database toolkit

That would explain it.

It does mean that everyone on the team would have to install LabVIEW 2026 Q1 or risk a tedious search for dependencies every time they open the project after I have submitted changes. I have uninstalled LabVIEW 2026 Q1 and re-installed the RGT for LabVIEW 2024 Q1 and that worked.
