We have a laptop running a custom data aquisition program that was made with labview by an external company. It communicates via ethernet with a box full of national instruments hardware that is connected to some sensors. While it works fine on the laptop, attempts to install the software on other computers results in the following error message "An error occured while attempting to open the configuration file "C:\program files\(name of the program)\data\(name of our company)fieldpoint.iak"". This error occurs whenever we try to open the test settings page or run a test. I've checked that directory and the file is in fact there. The new computers (we've tried several) always have difficulty connecting to the hardware via ethernet, and if you look at the network activity in windows you can see a whole bunch of packets being sent but only a few if any being recieved. I'm wondering if this is a network configuration problem? I've tried to match as many settings as I can find but to no avail. The company that made the software isn't responding to emails. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

One off-hand thought: the file you are trying to read is a FieldPoint config file. I don't know if the FieldPoint configuration file format changed with different versions of FieldPoint. Perhaps you don't have the same version of FieldPoint installed?
