Workaround 2:

a. On Windows: /data/lvnetset.ini

b. On Linux: /data/lvnetset.ini


  • Replace the contents of lvnetset.ini with the below text:

If you are unable to update Diamond to 3.12 SP1 or want to use an earlier version, you can also directly download and install IP from a web browser



  1. Directly access the IP server using a web browser from the following link:


  2. Go to [os]/exefile folder and find a target IP installer. Most IPs and their versions are self-explanatory.

  3. If the IP information is needed, go to [os]/aboutfile and open the matching html file with the corresponding name.

  4. Download the installer from the browser by clicking on the desired installer name.

  5. Manually install the IP by executing the downloaded installer.
