    Hi to everyone, I am trying to install the 8.23 version controller cause I need to run some backups on roboguide. The problem is I cant get the FRVC to add.

    Do anyone know how to get the version controller?

    I have versions of software that are built specifically for a certain customer, that isn't a FRVC supported version. However, I can edit the version and Build ID in the backdate.dt file to 'trick' RG into thinking it is a supported version. Not sure about V8.23, but you can give it a try. For example, I would edit V8.23/xx to V8.20/xx:

    Your backdate.dt file:

    Code
    20/11/23 01:57:44
    
    
    Version:  V8.23P/06/None
    Build ID: V8.23         4/10/2020

    Like retobor wrote.

    This is the way to go!

    This will work or not, and sometimes you'll run into unexpected problems. Because there is a reason V8.23 exists.

    Otherwise ask fanuc or the "company" which uses V8.23 for the VRC version.

    Are you sure it is 8.23 and not 8.13?

    I can't seem find any references to a v8.23 anywhere in Fanuc's documentation. However, I do see a separate folder and an additional binary that is located in

    \\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\WinOLPC\Versions

    I haven't tried this, but you may want to look into \\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Off Line\FRVRC\frvirtual.exe.config

    You may be able to add a listing for v8.23 that points to the correct resources for v8.20. This is just a WAG, but it might just work.

    What is in C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\WinOLPC\Versions? (or wherever you installed RG)

    Also, I haven't tried this, but you may be able to edit frvirtual.exe. config to work with v8.23. That file can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Off Line\FRVRC

    Yes, I have it aswell.

    Jose Eduardo Tlalpan have you tried reinstalling RG and selecting FRVRC V8.20 (or any other versions related to V8.2)?

    Have you tried running it through WinOLPC instead of HandlingTool?

    Yes, I tried this but in the options I looked FRVRC V8.20, and FRVRC V8.30. I created a robot with 8.20 version with no results. Thank you for your support
