* To start developing, use LabVIEW>>open, point to proj file (C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\resource\Framework\Providers\addq\G#IDE\AddQ_G#IDE.lvproj). Do not use repo path, will lead to crosslinking. * Password to the password-protected files of the IDE are found in Doc/PWG#.txt. Use the last password. * For every change, edit /Installer/G# Framework ReadMe.txt * Use LinkToRepo.bat (in the /Doc) to create a symbolic link to the G# repository from the installed locations of G#. Use UnlinkFromRepo.bat to unlink. * To test changes, use "Doc/start LV instance 1.bat" to run a second instance of LabVIEW. * To build a VIPM-installer, see the readme in the VIPM-folder. VIPM-files cannot link to anything inside the LabVIEW-folder. * Project provider documentation is in Doc/NI * Project provider community: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Developer-Center-Resources/Customize-the-LabVIEW-Project-Explorer-Using-the-Project/ta-p/3532774, https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Project-Providers/gp-p/bymqyodmkc.
