Remove broken icons from palette

Hi, I incorrectly installed a driver. When I added the VI's to the User Libraries, they were  corrupted.

I then uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, but I can't seem to delete the broken icons.


Even if i go to the palette editor, if I right click, there is no 'delete icon' option.

How can I delete them?

Hi Cory K,

 

Thanks for the post and I hope your well today! 

 

How do you do the re-install? 

 

I would recommend using MsiBlast (or equivalent) to fully remove the driver.


Can I also ask what driver this is? and how you installed it incorrectly? 

 

Kind Regards,

The driver was for a Crossbow Sensor.

I'm still not really sure I installed it correctly, but at least it appears to be working.

 

I installed the driver through LabVIEW's driver installation wizard.

This copied the driver to C: .... program files ....... instr.lib

I then manually copied the driver to user.lib

 

Then I when I opened LabVIEW, it was in the User Library.

What I had done before was go through the palette editor and tried to add the subpalettes, and thats where I messed up.


Now I have the working folder, and also a bunch of non working icons. How can I get rid of them?

Hi Cory,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Does this advice work?

 

How Do I Create or Edit a Custom Sub-Palette on the Controls or Functions Palette in LabVIEW 8.0?

 

If no luck, I'll look into this some more on Monday, when Im back in the office.

 

Kind Regards, 

Kind Regards
