Sd.Kfz.10 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm trying to install the Actor Framework (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/actor-framework-2011?view=overview), 2011 version, but I find no traces of it in VIPM 2012. I downloaded the Actor Framework manually (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-23396) and tried "Open Package File(s) and pointed to the spec file. I then got the message: "This package is not compatible with your operation system or any LabVIEW system installed on you computer". Any idea what could be wrong?

Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 The actor framework packages are not on the LabVIEW Tools Network (or any other network) yet. The package presented at the download location are only compatible with LabVIEW 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sd.Kfz.10 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 OK, so the download from the https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-17193 is the one I shoulld use anyway. I have downloaded that Actor Framework for LV 2011, and I have LV 2011 installed and I have VIPM 2012 installed. But I still get that ERROR message. So there is something wrong, but what??? I use Windows 7 Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Aivaliotis Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Have you tried saving the VIP file to your desktop and double-clicking on it? Also in the original post you mention a spec file. What's a spec file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the original post you mention a spec file. What's a spec file? Now I understand what's wrong! When I clicked on the link to the vip-file here https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-23396, my computer saved it as a zip-file. Then I unpacked the zip file and it contained two folders, a bmp-file and a file named "spec". The VI Package Manager could of course not handle that. So now I changed the .zip extension on the downladed file to .vip and the install via VIPM works as it should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
