I have the version 16.0 of the NIPM
To the best of my knowledge, NIPM made its debut with LabVIEW 2017 (it was reputed to be present in the Beta, but was definitely present in the Spring Release). Are you sure you aren't confusing the VI Package Manager (VIPM), which has been included with LabVIEW for at least the past 5-7 years, with NIPM, which is now responsible for installing LabVIEW and its various components (and will also install VIPM if you select it)?
If all else fails, you may be in the awkward position of having to "Start Over", which means uninstalling all of LabVIEW and reinstalling, oldest-first. The problem here is that NIPM is the installer, and may be required to do an uninstall. If NIPM is working, there are procedures to do a safe LabVIEW Uninstall (search the Web or ask here). Otherwise, there is the "Nuclear Option" which (unfortunately) I've applied to two of my machines:
- Back up your files.
- Gather installation media.
- Reformat the C: drive.
- Reinstall Windows.
- Reinstall Everything Else.
- Restore your files.
- Install LabVIEW, oldest first. [I recommend installing the minimum number of versions necessary].

P.S. -- I should note that I spend several unproductive weeks trying to back out of a corrupted 2017 install before I tried the Nuclear Option, which took about a day, and left me with a Lean, Mean, and (best of all) Working system.
