Hi everyone, I came back to my side project: company wide rollout of NI development software using the NI Package Manager. My use case: I want to roll out a NIPM configuration to my client computers, with my own feeds only, since all software has to be installed from a trusted location. For testing, I wanted to remove all the feeds which come with the standard NI Package Manager installation. Or at least temporarily remove them. Using the GUI, I can remove feeds one by one (tedious) and all attributes for the according feed are removed from the NIPM configuration (validated with nipkg config-get). When setting the enabled-attribute for the feed to false, it will still show up in the GUI, even after multiple refreshes. So the question is: is there a more convenient way of registering / unregistering feeds? Like exporting/ modifying/ importing a configuraion file? Cheers Oli

I can draft it in Bash or CMD if you prefer? 😉 More seriously, I think you might have some luck with your equivalent of C:\Users\Christian\AppData\Local\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\nipkg.iniEdit:That seems to control some extra feeds, but the system feeds are added I think by the file:C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\Deployment\nipkg.iniRunning the Powershell to remove them did remove most cases (some wiggling required for those with spaces in the name) but they readded when I launched NIPM, so I think changing the ini above might be required.

Where does NI Package Manager store its' feeds and attributes?

Solved!

I am not seeing this stated above, NI configured and nipkg.exe CLI "--system" configurations are stored in the protected directory "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\Settings\nipkg.ini".
