knime says the extension is not installed but it is

Hi!

When I drag e drop the “variable creator” node from the knime paga nodes I have the message
image

Then I choose Yes to search and install the “knime base nodes” extension and receive the error "knime base nodes"its already installed as you can see beneath

how can I run out of that loop?

I’m using the 4.3.4 Knime version

Hi @elaisafonceca

It looks like your are using KNIME 4.3.4, but the Variable Creator is available since v4.4 . Variable Creator — NodePit

Hi! thanks for response. See in the second print the extension that I try to install is from 4.3.4v, the same version of my installed knime

Hi @elaisafonceca,

As @HansS pointed out, this very node is not available for KNIME 4.3.4, but was first introduced with KNIME 4.4. Thus, the extension you are installing does not contain this node.

The reason why the KNIME Community Hub is suggesting you to install the extension is because it does only support the latest version of KNIME and has no knowledge about your current KNIME version and with which version of KNIME a node was introduced first.

So in short: In order to reach your goal, you need to update to KNIME 4.4 or find an alternative way to set flow variables (e.g. via a Java Snippet).

Best regards,
Daniel
