I tried to install external Axis Wizard 6.08.01 in robotStudio2019 and it is not working (neither automatic install nor manually). The versioning probably already indicactes that are there any plans for Axis Wizard2019? Thanks for your help ---

Just realized my license is 2019 only so more urgent for me. Is there a time line for an update or a current workaround? ---

We’re facing the same issue. Our 6.08 license expired a couple of weeks ago and now we’ve upgraded to 2019. And we have a project that relies on external axes. ---

Hi, See attachment for a rspak that can be installed in RS 2019. Unzip the file and install by using “Install Package” from the Add-Ins tab. Note that this is the same binary as External Axis Wizard 6.08.01, just repackaged to allow loading in RS 2019. Let me know if there is any problem. ---

Johannes, I get the following error after uninstalling the 6.08.01 wizard and adding the 2019 wizard. ![image.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/1X/ab9bde6075774409650c78ab5c6349e9b4aad5a8.png) ![image.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/c/c6caad10b07db79ca9d6a4dde348962b16a94b91.png) ---
