LV 5.1 program Exec.vi call doesn't function after LV 6 installed

[raccoon]

My LV5.5.1 program runs Resman via the SysExec.vi and
worked until LV6i was installed concurrently on the same computer. Why did the LV5.1 Exec.vi function quit
working? If I just create a Vi that just executes a
SysExec.vi I get the same result.

Hello,

In order to help you with your question, it would be helpful if you could answer the following questions:

(1) Can you run any executable (which you have verified you can run from the command prompt on your computer), besides Resman, from your LabVIEW 5.1 System Exec.vi?

(2) Can you run Resman from the LabVIEW 6i System Exec.vi? If not, can you run any other executables?

(3) If Resman is the only executable which you can no longer run using the System Exec.vi, can you still run Resman outside of LabVIEW?

(4) What version of NI-VXI do you have installed on your computer? You can check this in Add or Remove Programs from your Windows Control Panel.

Your answers to these questions will help me answer your main question.
