NiFpgaLv.dll missing

[poll88]

Good evening, 

I installed LabVIEW 2015 on my personal machine. 

I want to work with  a project developed on LabVIEW 2013 on a CompactRio. 

The problem is that when I want to open the VIs containing FPGA methods, I get the following message: Error Loading "NiFpgaLv.dll". A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

I get this message multiple times (around 20 times)  while loading the VI. Then it is impossible to run the VI. 

I have never connected the CompactRIO to this laptop but only to the office PC (running LV2013).

If you have any suggestion, please let me know. 

Best, 

Andrea

Did you install the FPGA module or the NI-RIO tools after installing LabVIEW?

Hi and thank you for the reply 😊
I installed the FPGA module as well as Xilinx compilation tools. (they were part of the web installer options).
Do I have to install any additional tools?

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas

Okay.  I had to ask because many people will forget there is more than just LabVIEW.

Perhaps try reinstalling in case something didn't install properly.  But otherwise I don't have any ideas.

Hi, 

Thanks anyway. 

If it can help, I can see open my VI without problems but the execution gives the following error: 

So the error is in Open FPGA Reference File, which points to a compiled bitfile which is present on my computer. 

The file is there at the correct path, so I don't understand where the error might come from. 

I could try recompiling but it takes 7 hours or more, so I would like to avoid it if possible. 

If somebody is able to help I would be very thankful.

Best regards,

Andrea

Has someone discovered a solution or a work-around to this issue?

I have tried compiling the FPGA, and creating a stand-alone exe file, however I get the same error message if I try to run the exe file on a computer where 2015 SP is not loaded.
