Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration export and import fails, files missing

[kc64]

<I don't see a board for MAX so I posted it here.  I hope you don't mind.>

I am trying to migrate to a new computer and have successfully moved the LV code but it relies on the configuration setup in MAX to operate.  There are many configuration items includes hardware configurations, scales, etc. I have LV 6.1 on Windows XP and MAX v 3.1.1 on both machines.  When I export all data from computer 1, I end up with an NCE file.  This file is binary.  I've tried exporting to text format but have not succeeded.

When I try to import on computer 2, first MAX reports "Can not find RTE directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cvirte".  This seems weird since I didn't install LW/CVI when I installed LV.  I click OK.  I then get "Unable to open c:\program files\national instruments\max\bin\cvirte.rsc".  I click OK.  I then attempt to import the data from the NCE file but get "This wizard does not recognize the specified configuration file."

I tried installing NI System Configurator v5.5.1f0 but get the same results.

How can I safely migrate the MAX configuration data?

Since the installation of MAX is separate from LabVIEW, is tied to the DAQ version you have installed, and you are trying to export/import DAQ setups, the Multifunction DAQ board would have been more appropriate. In any case, what versions of traditional DAQ do you have installed on both machines?

We are running NI-DAQ 6.9.2.

You mentioned that these are tied to NI-DAQ but what about MAX configurations related to motion controllers, like Settings Name for Initialize Controller.flx?

Thank you for your support.

Yes, MAX is also installed with the motion controller driver.

NI-DAQ 6.9.2 is over 10 years old. I simply don't remember what issues it had, sorry. Version 7.4.4 was the latest for XP. Perhaps that works better.

And the cvirte was required for some of the MAX features. It should have been installed automatically.

Thanks, Dennis.
