Database toolkit and LV8.5

[Beach_Comber]

Hello All,

I upgraded to LV8.5 and tried to run code from LV8.2 and am encountering the following error:

"The Governing Library for this node is broken.  At least one component VI is missing or broken."

The problem is in the "DB Tools Fetch Table Data.vi", the "Database Variant To Data" primitive is broken and no longer appears in the block diagram.  Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanx,

Karl

Did you install the DB toolkit or did you just try to run it with out installing it for 8.5. 8.5 has a lot of trouble with the DB toolkit because it cannot convert the vi's properly.The reason that it cannot convert the VI's is because NI changed some of the formatting and the fact that the DB toolkit has a lot of VI's that are in 5.0 in which LV 8.5 cannot convert. Try installing it again into the LV8.5 directory. Then open up LV8.2 and do a mass compile on the folder. Then open 8.5 and do a mass compile on the same folder. this may or may not help. But doing this allowed me to use the db toolkit in 8.5.

hope it helps you.

Actually the biggest problem is that 8.5x expects some of the DB Toolkit files to be in a different location than in prior versions. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the Toolkit is really the only way to address this.

Oddly enough I solved the problem by un-installing LV8.5 execpt for the Database toolkit and then re-installing LV8.5 again and it is now working.  Even stranger I have installed LV8.5 on my new laptop Dual core Windows Vista 64bit, VIsion tools 8.5 and the Database toolkit and it all worked right away.

Cheers,
