Internet Toolkit for G5.0 crashes Labview 8.2 during Mass Compile

[DavidJCrawford]

I have just received my Labview 8.2 update and installed it my system along with all my toolkits. When I tried to Mass Compile Labview 8.2 directory I found that it would crash labview consistantly as shown in the attached image.

I traced this to the vi's supplied with the Internet Toolkit for G5.0.

The workaround is ...

1. Re-installed the Internet Toolkit for G5.0 into Labview 8.2

2. Mass Compiled ...\project\_config\authcfg.llb using Labview 8.0

3. Mass Compiled ...\project\_config\authcfg.llb using Labview 8.2

and there wasn't any more Labview 8.2 crashes during mass compile. As Labview 8.0 was able to mass compile the internet toolkit vi's without crashing I am suspicious that Labview 8.2 might not be completely compatible with Labview 5.0.

I posted this just in case anyone else sees a similiar issue.

David,

I was able to reproduce the crash mass compiling authcfg.llb or just trying to open the VI named 'Directory Configuration'.  That code is saved in LabVIEW 5.0.1 and must have something that LabVIEW 8.2 chokes on, I'll have to get someone to investigate it.  Your workaround of saving that .llb or even that one VI in 8.0 first (or probably even 7.x) is the only way I see around it with 8.2.

I do want to mention that in Q1 2004 we released version 6.0 of the Internet Toolkit and it does not exhibit this behavior.  So the official solution for this crash is to upgrade to the latest Internet Toolkit.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback.

You are not trying to get me to spend more money are you?

I did know there was a later version but G5.0 is good enough for me at the moment.

thanks again

David,

Well I certainly wouldn't discourage you from spending money , I was trying to imply that we wouldn't be patching Internet Toolkit 5.0, since we have a 6.0.

Keep enjoying Internet Toolkit 5.0,

Kennon
