I should have known better, but curious to see what the NXG 2.0 had to offer, I installed it, together with the Vision Module (or whatever it is called) because I use its little brother with LV OG 2017 (oldgen).
Short story long, I tried twice to create a new VI and drop a Graph on a blank FP and NXG went down in a crash each time. I promptly uninstalled all I could from the NXG stuff but apparently didn't do that fast enough...
Now when I try to use my 2017 code including Vision Module VIs (2017), things are broken because, says the Error window:
The Vision Development Module library is expired or invalidly licensed on this computer. To purchase this product, contact National Instruments. If you have already purchased this product, select the Help >> Activate LabVIEW Components to activate this product.
Obviously, following this advice leads nowhere and I have shot an email to NI support for explanations.
Caveat emptor...
PS: and yes, there is something new in NXG 2.0: a "Split" view of the BD and FP. Oh well...

Uninstalled the NI package manager (despite its ominous threat of being cursed over 7 generations if I dared) and add to repair:
- Vision Development Module 2017
- Vision Development Module 2016 (not sure why)
- Some part of LabVIEW
... which unsurprisingly hit a snag at some point and forced me to cancel.
Luckily I am back in business, or so it seems.
