Is there a way to view the new product notifications after installing the application?

[Antonio Lie]

When you install LabWindows/CVI or any other NI application you may receive new prduct notifications containing critical warnings or any other type of notifications. For CVI 2009 a critical warning is displayed suggesting to download and install a patch. In my case I chose to ignore the warning and continue with my installation without downloading the patch or creating a copy of the download link first.

After I finish installing I wanted to download the patch but I realized there is not an easy way to display the new product notifications from LabWindows/CVI.

My only options at this time was to search under the online support page or re-run the installer to get the link.

I think that it would be nice to have a menu item under help->web links->new product notifications that would take you to the list of notifications for your application.

If you know of an easy way to access the new product notifications from LabWindows CVI, please let me know. Am I missing something?

Regards.

Hey Antonio,

That's a good suggestion, and it's something that we're already planning on addressing in the next release, probably via a service that you can use to view information about patches and notifications -- not only the ones that were known at the time that you installed, but also ones that might have come into existence since then.

In case you're still looking for the link to that CVI 2009 notification, you can find it here.

By the way, my world cup sympathies to you -- your guys were robbed.

Hi Antonio Lie,

You are not missing anything and that sounds like a great idea.  Please visit our Product Suggestion Center in order to create a suggestion.

Thanks

Luis,

I was able to get to the notification by re-running the installer.

Since you are already considering to do something about it in the next release, I won't write a suggestion.

I don't want to talk about Soccer anymore after what happened yesterday. 😞

It is difficult to win after you get robbed and one of your defenders gives a goal away.

I will be rooting for Portugal from now on. 🙂

Regards.
