		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot;The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;LVAddons&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; directory contains drivers and toolkits that are version-independent and therefore do not need to be updated when using different versions of &lt;a href=&quot;/wiki/LabVIEW&quot; title=&quot;LabVIEW&quot;&gt;LabVIEW&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;LVAddons&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; directory contains drivers and toolkits that are version-independent and therefore do not need to be updated when using different versions of [[LabVIEW]]. It is supported by [[LabVIEW 2022 Q3]] and later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The default location on Windows is &amp;quot;C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\&amp;quot;. The location can be changed by setting the [[LVAddons.CustomLocation]] configuration key to the desired path. In [[LabVIEW 2024 Q1]] and later, additional locations can be added by setting the [[LVAddons.AdditionalLocations]] configuration key to a semicolon-delimited list of paths. These locations [[wikipedia:superimpose|overlay]] the default or custom location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The LVAddons directory contains a subdirectory for each add-on, each of which has one or more directories for a version of the add-on. Each version contains a [[lvaddoninfo.json]] file with metadata and directories that contain the add-on files. The folders may reflect any of the [[:Category:folders|folders]] in the LabVIEW installation (e.g., &amp;#039;&amp;#039;vi.lib&amp;#039;&amp;#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These directories and files [[wikipedia:superimpose|overlay]] the LabVIEW installation directory. If a file with the same name exists in multiple directories, the first file found is used. The order in which directories are scanned may vary and can be determined using the [[Build And Resolve Symbolic Path]] function with &amp;quot;symbolic path id&amp;quot; set to &amp;quot;&amp;lt;libdir&amp;gt;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Adoption==&lt;br /&gt;
[[NI]] is actively working on moving drivers and toolkits to the LVAddons directory&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/22/extending-compatibility-between-labview-and-ni-drivers-with-addo.html Extending Compatibility Between LabVIEW and NI Drivers with Add-Ons]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Further use==&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to toolkits and drivers, the LVAddons directory can be used to provide version-independent access to custom toolkits, drivers, and libraries. For example, [[PPL]]s or [[wikipedia:dynamic-link library|DLL]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
