Launching offline installer using the --progress-only option incorrectly displays an error dialog when Package Manager is already running

Launching an offline installer using the --progress-only command line option while Package Manager is running incorrectly displays a error dialog requiring a user response instead of just returning an error. The dialog displays the following message: "The requested operation could not be completed because another instance of NI Package Manager is already running. Close NI Package Manager and attempt the operation again."

Workaround:

Close Package Manager and launch the offline installer.

Installers built by Package Builder, LabWindows/CVI and Volume License Manager do not install
