Problems with LabView 7.1.1 and Report Generation

[Simon Waller]

I have just upgraded from LabView 7.1 to 7.1.1. As per the release notes, I did a mass compile of the vi.lib/addons/_office folder (which contains the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office v1.1) but I get a lot of error messages complaining about "Bad VI". These VIs are no longer available after this operation. If I don't compile them (ie leave them in 7.1 format) then LabView complains that some subVIs are not executable.

Are LabView 7.1.1 and the Office toolkit 1.1 compatible? How do I get them to work together?

Maybe you have figured this out by now.... But after reinstalling/upgrading LV you must reinstall your Report Generation Toolkit.

If you care for the why.... There are a few files that both the Report Geneartion Toolkit and LV install, only the the Report Generation Toolkit installs a more beefed up version of the files. When you upgraded LV, LV copied a new version of these files (a version that doesn't have the Report Gen support in it) over the Report Generation version. So you have to run the toolkit installer to get the toolkit version back.
