VIPM invalid file format error

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to install the DQMH package into my Labview with VIPM application.

 

Because my working PC is not connected to the internet, I downloaded the package at another PC and then opened it in VIPM in the first PC, and it recognized the package and its information.

 

The problem is that when I tried to install the package I got the error message: "DQMH... could not be added to VIPM because the file is not valid".

 

The same error occurs also by installing other packages.

 

What can be the reason for this error? (I tried some solutions mentioned in other posts here but nothing helped..).

 

My Labview and VIPM are both 2019 version.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Roey

Check the builds of both VIPM installations for the help or the launch page.

 

I seem to recall that the *.vim extension was a little problem.   

 

Also make sure your DQMH package is 2019 or earlier.

Thank you for your answer.

 

Actually I don't have two installations of VIPM. I download the packages with the 'Download Package' button and then copied the files (*.vip extension) to the 2nd PC and opened them in VIPM.

 

The compatibility of the package is "Labview>=2014" (according to the documentation) so I don't think this is the problem.

 

I'll appreciate if you can think of another idea for the reason of this error.
