[Bug?] Immediate Error when Manually Adding a Package

[jgcode]

VIPM 2010.0.1 Professional

 

Each time I add a package manually to Package Dependencies (by clicking the plus) I get an immediate error (guessing that the default must fail a precheck).

Its not a show stopper, just annoying.

I cannot reproduce this. From your screenshot it appears that you might have a corrupt package database. I see "--" as the first package name in the list. This should not happen. The first item should be just the first package in the list.

 

Can you look at your package database folder for empty folder names with just "-" in them?

Located here: C:\ProgramData\JKI\VIPM\databases\LV 9.0

Delete them and try again.

 

If this is in fact the issue then, this is a known issue which is fixed in the next release.

Hi Michael

 

This is repeatable this end (it happens each time I open the screen).

My LV9.0 Database, it contains no "" but what I did find in cache was a package named --.opg.

I deleted it, then VIPM required a reboot to fix the issue.

If you think its related to the known issue - what is the cause of it?

Also I don't see a Known Issue assigned to it here?

 

 

Thanks

Ok, so the problem has been resolved by deleting this - -.ogp.

However, it would be great if you had saved that package (perhaps it's still in your recycle bin?). I'd like to know how that package got in there in the first place. We could look inside of it to figure it out.

Hi Michael

 

Please find package attached. Unfortunately I was not able to extract is as it is corrupted.

If you manage to find anything, please post.

 

Thanks
