'Error 1063 occurred at an unidentified location' CompactRIO driver internal error when attempting simple input/output

[Nathan 133]

   An NI representative (Eric Dean) recently held an NI Open House to showcase the contributions NI was making to the University.  Before leaving he noticed cRIO-9014 was not functioning properly and asked that I reinstall the drivers, saying they had likely been steamrolled by another peice of NI software (he mentioned this was a known issue and was being resolved in future releases)  After un/reinstalling everything (but not reinstalling the corruptING software) the CompactRIO still returns 'Error 1063'. 

When asked, Eric asked that I replace a specific driver he suspected of  being corrupt: EIO_SpecifyEIONode.vi  at location C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW8.5\vi.lib\eio\EIONode\

When this failed to resolve the issue I was directed here.

We're using a simple FPGA in/out project to test the unit. When asked to run, the previously mentioned error pops up.

Hi Nathan,

Refer to this post for specific instructions on replacing the EIO_SpecifyEIONode.vi and make sure you replace the IO node on the block diagram afterwards.  Thanks and have a great day!

How exactly do I replace the I/O node in the Block Diagram?
I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly the Block Diagram is.

Hi Nathan,

Sorry for the confusion.  The block diagram is where the LabVIEW code for your FPGA is.  If you expand your FPGA in your FPGA project you should have a VI.  You can open that VI and there will be two windows, a front panel and a block diagram.  The block diagram is white and if it doesn't show up automatically you can go to Window»Show Block Diagram and it will show up.  You will see the old I/O node, delete it and then right click on the block diagram to bring up the functions pallet.  Go to FPGA I/O and then I/O node.  Click on the I/O node and drag it onto your block diagram.  You will need to wire it up the same way the old one is wired.  I have included a screen shot of the block diagram, functions pallet and the I/O node.
