Using 19.5 with NXG
Solved!
Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but I'm contemplating a project with SystemLink and NXG. The problem is that APIs are documented for NXG 4.0. I installed the 4.0 Beta as a starting point for my testing, but trying to install the TDM Reader and File APIs through NIPM seems to still not work.
Any chance there's an easy workaround (and/or an eta for the NXG 4.0 release)?

Do you get an error, or do the APIs not show as available?
Starting with SystemLink 19.5, the LabVIEW and NXG APIs are installed through the dedicated LabVIEW SystemLink Toolkit and not through the SystemLink Client. You can obtain the toolkit through NI Package Manager or ni.com:
It's also included in the SystemLink software suite:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I have some of the SystemLink APIs installed (which show as "Support for NXG 3.0" in NIPM), but not the TDM Reader or File Support. Those are shown in the "Packages" tab, but when I attempt to install them I get a dialog saying that NXG 4.0 isn't present (presumably because I only have the beta, not the release version).
See as follows:
