While extracting a llb file Open/Create/Replace File.vi Windows renamed the VI.

[Aneesh]

Hi All,

While we extracted an LLB file which contains Open/Create/Replace File.vi LabVIEW asked to rename the VI.

As it is NI's VI it is difficult for us to rename the same.

Is there any solution avialable to overcome this issue.

Note:  We are using WindowsXP with LabVIEW 7.0(ENG) evaluation version.

          Our LLB file was created using LabVIEW 6.1(Jap)

Thanks in Advance

hi again
it appears that one of us is not getting a full update window !! ( response to first post from me)

Take a copy of your llb and zip !!!

Library files can have /(?* characters BUT when you save in windows environment you have to observe the standard protocol

You can't use  certain characters, suggest you use _ to replace  /.

What will happen is that the next time you run labview and try to run an application that utilises that particular it will complain that it can't find

Open/Create/Replace File.vi

One solution is to extract that vi and save as OPEN_CREATE_REPLACE_File.vi

For your current development do not update callers.

Where where you trying to extract the LLB? That VI is part of the LabVIEW distribution and you shouldn't overwrite what's there and you shouldn't include any of the VIs in vi.lib when you create an LLB. If you create an LLB with the Development Distribution option, the default is to exlude them. If you modified the original, you should have saved it as a new name in the first place. If the VI is unmodified and was saved into the LLB, just delete it and all other vi.lib functions before trying to extract anything.
