Warning 16058 when building Package Installer with Package Builder

[Xenia1986]

Dear all,

I have a strange problem with the new NI package builder. 

With Package Manager I've installed NI-IMAQdx Version 2023 Q1 including all drivers.

When I try to make an Installer of this package with the NI Package Builder I'll get a lot of 16058 warnings, telling me "The solution contains references to packages which could not be found". One example is package "ni-imaqdx-labview-2022-support-x86" version 23.0.0

I've checked the installed package with the Package Manager and found it was actually installed but with a newer version 23.1.0. That's why I get the warnings.

Why is package builder not looking for the latest version installed? And is there a setting inside the Package Builder to change this?

I've experienced this behaviour in other Installer Packages as well and is pretty annoying. It blocks me to create a fully functional installer with the package builder.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Bernd

Can you share what your NI Package Builder project looks like and how are the packages that are included in the warnings are included/referenced by the project, does the warning appear on load of solution or build, and does the build succeed or error?

Hi Scott,

the build succeed with a lot of warnings. I've attached the logs in a txt file. The warnings appear after I've started to build the package installer.
I've also attached a screenshot of my Package Builder GUI.

Thanks a lot!

The 2023 Q1 release on my side has the version of 23.0.0, so I am confused you saying there is a 23.1.0 version as I do not see that version ever being released.

1. Can you generate a list of all installed packages on your system by calling in an admin prompt the following command and capture the console output:
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\nipkg.exe" list-installed

2. Can you list the files in the C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\packages folder and share that?

What is it that you are trying to accomplish in the NI Package Builder solution? I am confused by what is the purpose of the custom package that the solution has configured that has the name "NI-IMAQdx" and version 1.0.0.0? What is the package name of that custom package? Are you just trying to build an installer of just NI-IMAQdx? What do you want the installer to include?
