LabVIEW 2020 introduced enhancements to the LabVIEW Application Builder and build specifications.

(Windows) Repairing Packages

If an installation does not run correctly, you can repair the package in NI Package Manager. In LabVIEW, you can configure a custom repair action to execute when NI Package Manager repairs the package. To create a custom repair action, on the Advanced page of the Package Properties dialog box, right-click in the Custom actions table and select Add Repair Action. You can choose from the following options:

  • Pre-repair—Specifies the action to execute before repairing the current package.
  • Post-repair—Specifies the action to execute after repairing the current package.
  • Post-repair all—Specifies the action to execute after repairing all packages.

Miscellaneous Application Builder Enhancements

The Feed page of the Package Properties dialog box includes the following new options:

  • Include all dependencies in feed—Specifies whether to add all dependencies of a package or only the package to the feed.
  • Append package version to feed location—Specifies whether to include the package version in the feed. LabVIEW appends a subfolder with the package version to the feed location.
  • Include all dependencies in SystemLink feed—Specifies whether to publish all dependencies of a package or only the package to the SystemLink feed.

These options are available for Windows only.
