NI is releasing Package Manager 2023 Q4 this coming week. You can upgrade now directly from NI Package Manager GUI, and will be download from ni.com within a week. There will not be any updates to the online help for this release; however, here are a few minor changes to note: The interactive installation pane that lists additional items to select to install now includes the item's version in addition to the name and description. To improve security of NI's installers, we are starting to sign the MSIs in NI packages, starting with NI Package Manager, and eventually more products in the future. Note: Products releasing in 2023 Q4 will fix an issue introduced in products released in 2023 Q3 where non-NIPM based installers built with LabVIEW and TestStand can error if launched on Windows 11 when the VC 2015 runtime is not already installed. The hidden package "NI ADE Deployment Support" (ni-mdfsupport version 23.5) introduced the issue and is fixed by version 23.8. See this NI forum post for more details.
