VIP files without VIPM?

Hello -

I’m trying to install a toolkit for my recently purchased LabView for Mac Student Edition. I have been instructed by the toolkit’s manufacturer to install it via VIPM, however VIPM states it does not support/run on my version of Mac OS X, Lion.

Is there a way to manually install a .vip file to operate within LabView?

Thanks, Dominick.

Doesn’t work on OSX Lion you say?

I installed it a while back. I remember having to allow some permissions within the terminal to get it to install.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this, but I do know you have messing with the Arduino. To warn you, NI-VISA won’t work natively on OSX Lion. There’s a beta of it on the NI website, but I have had no luck with it. To use NI-VISA, I have to boot into 32-bit mode.

Why thank you sir!

No problem. That’s why I’m here. :cool:
