Mass Compile - Bad VI

[etain]

I recently updated LV7.0 to 7.1. When I opened an existing file from 7.0, the VI broke because of mismatched older instance of the Image data type. I tried to fix this by doing the "mass compile" instead of replace everything manually. But the system warned me by listing a set of Bad VIs and Bad SubVIs. And the mismatched image data type is still there.

A sample SubVI is attached.any idea how to make the data type match not manually?

Thank you.

Hi Etain,

We actually have a utility that converts old image types in VIs to the newer image type- I actually just ran it on your VI and it worked nicely (new version attached)!

Go to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision\Utility and you will see a VI called "Convert VI to use LabVIEW 7 Image Type". Run that and it will ask you if you want to run recursively, searching all subVIs. Select "YES" and you will be able to replace all the old with the new. Good Luck!
