I need help with mass compile and dependencies

I have a question, maybe stupid and simple for you experts, but since it's making me loose a lot of time, I ask you.

I have LV 2009 installed in disk C, and I have another directory (with many subdirectories) in ANOTHER disk (disk D)with a lot of VIs, some LV 2009 and some files of older LV versions.

I decided to "mass compile" this directory with all the subdirectories. Doing so, it changed many of the dependencies of the most recent files which were perfectly working) assigning to them dependencies to files in these subdirectories. I mean files of low low level, like Close+.vi or Open+.vi (something that one expects in official vi.lib), because I had in these subdirectories some old libraries with these files. But, to give you an example, Close+.vi, is now LV 7.1, and I cannot open it any more with LV 2009. 

Final result. My most recent files didn't work any more.

I checked in disk C, under the official vi.lib, and many files inside llb were modified changing even to them the dependencies. 

Result: even some of the files of the vi.lib didn't work any more.

At the end I went in the vi.lib and I did a mass compile and now apparently I solved it.

 

My question is: what I did wrong? How can it be possible that files in the vi.lib were modified (they shoud be untouchable!). 

 

If my aim was to convert all the files in disk D to the newest LV versione (2009) WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE?

 

Please give me a good suggestion for the future, in order I do not these mistakes any more. 

Thank you in advance

 

PS: I would like to ask the moderator/administrator if he could try to keep this board just in english language. I also ask people writing spanish or french topics to post them in the foreign boards and not here. Or, even better, to try to translate their post in english so that I can read them: maybe it's something interesting.

Even if I write here seldom, I come here very often to read most of the topics, because I find in many of them some useful hints to learn labview. 

Thank you

You did not compile just some VIs, you compiled also some LV Libraries so it makes the dipendences to change. You have to recompile VI.lib library to repair the LV installation.
