Distribution patch not shown in control panel

[Marek Idzikowski]

Hello everybody,

I have following question:

After installing a distribution patch it is not shown in the software applet of control panel either as separate product nor as an update to the existing one, even if the "show updates" checkbox is on.

Is a problem of the patch or general problem of LabWindows/CVI 2010?

Regards,

Marek

Hi,

Some packages don't show their exact version in MAX or in The Windows Control Panel. For example  LabVIEW 2010 with the F1 patch (2010F1).

In MAX : Open Max. Look at the software versions. 

Some packages show their exact version 

One way to view the version :

Please keep in mind the patches are typically released on a per issue basis and the primiary intent is to provide a fix that typically needs immediate attention.

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for your replay.

I think you have misunderstood what I've meant. 

I have created a distribution, and then later a distribution patch as discribed in "Creating Patches for Distributions" (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051T-01/cvi/usermanual/creatingpatch/) document.

After installing the distribution patch on the target machine, there is no indication for the end user that the patch has been applied.

I hope this explains the scenario better.

Best regards,

Marek Idzikowski
