LabView 7.1 Storage.llb

[ClausB]

Hello,

I have a built 7.1 app that used to work on my LV7 development PC but now gives this error:

 

I get the same error if I run the "List supported storage formats" VI directly from the LV7 development environment. I am using LV 7.1.1 and the Storage.llb is dated 11/30/04.

Am I missing some DLL?

Thanks.

You need NI USI installed on your machine (National Instruments/Shared/USI). It installs with LabVIEW, but not with the Runtime Engine. If you create an installer in LabVIEW, you can select it as an additional installer to include.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I get the same error on the PC with the LV7 development system installed. Is there a separate USI installer for LV7 that I can use to fix it?

Thanks too for the path. I see now that the USI/Bin/ folder contains files too new for LV7. A while ago I tried putting LV8 on that machine and destroyed the ability to maintain LV7 apps. When I uninstalled 8, it must have left some newer files around. I use LV8 now on a newer PC but I need to keep LV7 on the older PC. Looks like I need to clean out more LV8 files and reinstall LV7 again (shiver).

I keep a unique boot partition for each LV version. While LV core plays well with many versions installed, the add-ons and drivers do not. They have a bad habit of deleting "old stuff we don't need anymore".

Good idea!

As a test, I temporarily replaced the newer USI folder with an older one from a PC that works, and now the app runs. So now I need to fix the installation more properly.

Thanks for the guidance!
