Installation of VDM 8.6, 8.6.1 and 8.6.4

[wbadry]

Hello,

When VDM 8.6 released, the Vision Assistant has a bug of not being able to apply the particle filter visually on it, this was fixed by a patch 8.6.1.

Recetnly, NI also relaeased VDM 8.6.4 which is about 500 MB. They mentioned that it doesn't include the patch. Meanwhile, the patch can not be applied after installation of VDM 8.6.4 which doesn't have Vision Assistant !!!!

My question is, is there any package that can be installed without having to install first VDM 8.6 (758 MB), then the patch (25MB) and finally VDM 8.6.4 (496 MB)?

It is a painful process of restarting PC.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

As mentioned in the readme, if you want to use the Vision Assistant with the appropriate updates, you must install all of these in order:

"The NI Vision 8.6.4 Development Module update requires that either the NI Vision 8.6.0 Development Module or the NI Vision 8.6.1 Development Module update be installed.

The NI Vision 8.6.1 Development Module update includes fixes for NI Vision Assistant that are not included in the NI Vision 8.6.4 update. If you wish to update NI Vision Assistant, you must install the NI Vision 8.6.1 Development Module update before installing the NI Vision 8.6.4 Development Module update."

Thanks Zach for responding,

Is it a waste of time for NI team to just repack the VDM 8.6.4 with all previous files so that a single installation takes place 

Thanks again for responding and have a lovely day
