Repairing Packages

[Janani_28]

Hi,
The available features of NI Package Manager allows us to add custom execute steps during post/pre installation and uninstallation of packages. Is there any way possible to add our custom steps when we repair a package using NI Package Manager?

It would be helpful to know more about REPAIR option on NIPM for proceeding further in my work.

Thanks.

I believe in LabVIEW 2020's Package Build Specification, you can define the custom actions around repair. I am not sure about the NI Package Builder 20. I have not tried either yet as I am still working with 2019.

NI Package Builder does not yet support repair custom executes in packages it creates.

Is it safe to assume that it is on the roadmap for NIPB? If so, do we have any estimate of when it would be available?

Hey Bill, it is something that we would like to add to the product, but I do not have any estimate that can be shared.
