NI ServiceLocator is not running on OS X

[ScottH]

Here's my nilxid.plist.

Any progress on figuring out what's going on?

Thanks,

Hey Everyone,

Do you see the nilxid.plist in your Launch Daemons?  I think that after 2010 the nisvcloc will not show up in your activity monitor since it has been bundled into the Web Services.  The only way you will see those folders is if you have older versions of LabVIEW installed (2009 or earlier).  I am currently working on getting a machine up and trying to reproduce the issue you are having.

Opps, the third line got cut off in the PDF. Here it is:

/Library/Application Support/National Instruments/NI-VISA/niLxiDiscovery.app/Contents/MacOS/niLxiDiscovery

No resolution on LV2010, but I can tell you that LV2011 as expected.

I can also verify that the OSX 2011 LabVIEW evaluation version does not have this bug.

Hey Everyone,

We are having trouble reproducing the issue on our end using LabVIEW 2010 so it has been difficult to develop a work around.  There has been a fix put into LabVIEW 2011 to correct this issue.

Hello, I also I have the same problem with 2009 lab when I open the view finder example an error message appears that says, "the NI Service Locator is not running. You Will Not BeAble to browse by directory structure".
