Problem upgrading a Labview Project from 8.0 to 8.5.1

Hi,

I have two laptops - Laptop 1 has Labview 8.0 on it, and Laptop 2 has Labview 7.1.1 installed.  I've just upgraded Laptop 2 to Labview 8.5.1 and copied all of my Labview 8.0 files over from Laptop 1.  I did a mass compile on Laptop 2 and all the vi's work great.  I've opened up a Project that I copied over from LV 8.0 and it looks like the Installers are ok.  However, when I open the Properties on any of my Applications (EXEs) all of the Information is blank.  When I type in the "Build specification name" and use the same name as the one I opened, it tells me that that name already exists.

Does anyone know why my Application is blank?  Thanks.

Steve

Hi Steve,

Does the .exe file that has blank properties function correctly otherwise, and was that .exe one of the files that you mass compiled? Could you zip and post your project so that I can try to reproduce the problem? That way we can see if the problem is in your system, or with the .exe itself.

Also, do you want to change the properties of the .exe? If so, what changes do you want to make?

Regards,
Stephen S.

Thanks for the reply.  Over the weekend I re-copied my Project from Laptop 1 to Laptop 2 and it was ok - I was able to build the EXE without a single problem.
