DataFinder - Configure is ghosted

[Ship-DAS]

Windows 10, intel i7, LabVIEW 2019 SP1

I have installed DIAdem 2019 to take the 'DIAdem Basics' online training.

The training has me right clicking on a folder in Navigator to 'Add Search Area'. I tried this and did not get a popup screen to complete the task and the folder is not in the search area.

Upon further investigation I have found that under Settings - My DataFinder, Configure and Optimize Custom Properties is ghosted.

I have tried resetting DataFinder. I have tried uninstall & reinstall DIAdem.

I did, at some point, receive this error message.

Sorry to say no solution here, just empathy.

But - I found your post - right after I posted mine - with the same issue. I did the same - complete uninstall / reinstall, but still the same behavior.

I'll keep an eye out for replies to your post. Mine is titled:  DataFinder not installed correctly with DIAdem 2019 SP1 ?

Yeah - it's kinda hard to get through the training when we're stuck at exercise 2-1....

Cheers,

Hey Guys,

First off, please don't stop the training due to this problem.  There are a couple of exercises that use the DataFinder, but 95% of them are just... load a data file with drag&drop, then start manipulating the data.  It's pretty much just chapter 2 that deals explicitly with the DataFinder.

Second, here's the link to my initial suggestions for this wounded "My DataFinder" issue.
