Why I cann't find IMAQ WindDraw.vi??

[TNI]

Each time, I open a vi file, It search for the IMAQ WindDraw.vi, but can't find it,Why? Something wrong with my LabView or for other reasons?

Thanks.

The details are a little sketchy, but I'll put out a couple things that might be going on...

I'm assuming that you can find the VI manually. Therefore what you need to do is open everything and find the "missing" VI. Once everything is open, do a Save All.

One possible issue is that to speed loading, LV stores the link to a subVI and the last known path to it. Problem arise however, if during a load it can't find a subVI in the last known place. LV immediately starts doing a search. Eventually, if it can't find it, LV puts up a dialog box asking you to find it manually.

Once you find the VI, LV relinks to the VI in the new location. However, this new path doesn't get changed unless you do a save.

Thanks much. But I think the main reason is that IMAQ Vision is not installed in my coumputer.

Yes, that would make it difficult to find

...and you only came up with one file missing?

Yes only this file. Nothing else.

The problem you have has got to do with the sequence you installed the programs. If you install the real-time module as last, then you've got this problem with the WindDraw block (NIVision.dll). A simple reinstall of everything will do the trick. (I know, I've had the same problem 😉 )
