There is a known issue using VIPM 3.0 that prevents VIPM from managing VI Packages installed in LabVIEW 2010 beta. We’ve identified the cause and will have a new version of VIPM (3.0.1) out soon that fixes the issue. If you need this fix immediately and/or would like to help test the release candidate, please contact us.

Congratulations to Michael, and to Team Canada!
