Installation Problems
There are few suggestions which I keep sending to users first, when any installation problems occur. They are now listed here, please, try them and only of they don't work, let me know and work with me on figuring out why you cannot install the packages.
But first: Make sure you have the latest Installer version (currently v1.07) : GHInstaller_IrenaNika_v1.0X.pxp Did you read them Inst_Help notebook when you opened the Installer.pxp file in Igor? If you freshly installed Igor Pro, did you quit and start again? This will create needed folders.
Most commonly zip file SAXS_IgorCode-MonthYear.zip is corrupted or files are corrupted during unzipping. This is common on Windows when network safety tools or antivirus software prevents my code from working right. Easy first solution: Delete the zip file SAXS_IgorCode-MonthYear.zip and folder SAXS_IgorCode-MonthYear from your desktop and run again. Sometimes it helps to run this second time while connected to different network connection (like home without overzealous facility IT).
OK, so second attempt to get proper files on desktop failed. We need to do it for the code - something is preventing IgorPro form properly talking to Github. Firewall on your computer or something on network. Open the Github release page in the web browser. Download for the release (or prerelease = beta) from assets zip file with source code. Copy from within this zip file the folder of the same name as the file is on the desktop. Install now using "Use Local Folder?" : **check the "Use Local Folder?" checkbox, select in the dialog which opens the folder you just unzipped in step above, and push "Select folder". Check right checkboxes on what you want installed and Install what you need. **
Well, this is interesting. My next suggestion is to wipe Igor Pro and reinstall the latest version. After this suggestion, no one came with more issues recently, so if it still keeps failing, let me know.
Do NOT overthink this. This should work (and 99% of times it does) at push button/check few checkboxes/push button. Works fine for newbies, Igor gurus seem to find ways to prevent this from working. So let it do its job...
Number of errors can be generated by Igor when there is problem with linking proper (current) version of HDF5.xop in correct place. There seem multiple ways how this can happen and all have in common, that Wavemetrics HDF5.xop extension, distributed with Igor Pro, is either stale (old version) or is not linked at all. I wrote description how to fix this in Irena/Nika on line manual. Please, follow the instructions there.
