Tools Not Installing with Latest Release of Alteryx Designer

mkeiffer — Mon, 24 May 2021 14:35:21 GMT

I have encountered an issue with the download and install of latest version of Designer (2021.2). For some reason, it appears that not all of the predictive tools install correctly. Several tools appear to be missing under the Text Mining tab.

I went back to the previous version of Alteryx and did not have the same issue. Also, it appears, on my computer at least, the latest version of Alteryx tends to install much faster, but maybe it is because it is not installing everything properly?

Has anyone has had this issue and does anyone know if a fix has been put out for it yet?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @mkeiffer ,

You need to download them from the same place as the Designer download:

Hi there,

I did download them from both locations but that did not seem to work. Looks like it was the same version for both Designer and the Predictive Tools.

Hey @mkeiffer ,

Some tools from the Text Mining where migrated to the new "Computer vision" category, for Instance the PDF input has been renamed because we are have increased the number of format (JPEG, BMP and PDF) :

Hope this clarify!

Yes, that's correct.

It needs to be the same version.

Why didn't it work?

Hi Paul T,

This is very helpful! Can you do me a favor and show me the screenshot for where the PDF Input tool is in the new version? This was one that I found missing as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, I am not sure. I can try to reinstall it again.

Are you using the latest version of Designer, and did you experience any issues with it?

Hi @mkeiffer ,

yes I'm on the latest version and had no problems.

Try it again from that download location and see how you get on.

So the PDF input was replaced by Image input in the Computer vision category and you will need to install the Alteryx Intelligence suite in order to use those tools (and a license) :

They have their own tab in the Home menu :

Thanks, Paul!

That is good to know. Thanks so much for the update. So, it sounds like you have not had any issues either with the new release?
