I have been trying to make scripts with VB.NET for modifying an .installation file with data about e.g. TCP location from an external source, however, I can’t seem to load and parse the file properly into text. I can extract individual bytes from the file but they do not seem to match any encoding scheme I can find.
When simply opening the file I can read the structure and see that it should follow UTF8 encoding, however, using this yields a series of “???”.
Any suggestions or experience on how to read and write to these files?
The .installation files are compacted in .zip format - I use 7-Zip File Manager to decode and look at them.
7-Zip will decode and pass the file to Notepad or any other program you choose.
Haven’t needed to edit a file and save it back, but I assume it’s straightforward.
Helllo. I like to react on this topic. We like to do almost the same (edit the installation file) in the unzipped .installation file.
Were you able to edit the pose of TCP in the installation file and zipped back to Installation file?
Does a robot have any issue with the edited installation file?
We concerns the ID that are in the XML representation of the installation file. How are they generated? In a case I would need to add TCP can I basically generate the ID by myself? Would it be even possible or we can do only edit of this structure.
Furthermore, We like to edit also .urp file which also seems as an XML file that is zipped. Are they linked together with installation file? The header of the urp file contains the CRCValue (crcValue=“2019367935”). Do we need to pay attention?
Could we face another issue by editing those two files?
Thank you for help.
