Is there a way to create a VI Package in VIPM using command line?

[Sara]

Hi,

 

I would like to be able to build our VI package from command line as part of our automated build process. I have created a .vipb file with the configuration. Is there a way generate the package from command line using that .vipb file?

 

Thanks,
Sara

Hi Sara,

 

Yes, there's an undocumented and unsupported way to do this:

 

"C:\Program Files\JKI\VI Package Manager\support\VIPM File Handler.exe" -- "/command:build" "/source:" "/QUIET:T"

 

The official supported way to do this would be to create your own VI that calls the VIPM API VIs and build your VI into an EXE.

 

I hope this helps,
