build specification can't find a plug-in

[Spundun]

Hi,

I am using LABView to deploy the code that my co-workers wrote onto a CompactRIO, except, I can't. The LV project has a build specification that I need to use, but it has warnings. When I click the "Explain Warning" short-cut menu item, I get this pop-up dialog saying "The plug-in for the selected item is not installed on your system." Of course this same project works on my co-workers' workstations, but I can't tell what exactly I'm missing, me and the other folks here think we have the same system installed. Any ideas?

Thanks.
Spundun.

By the way I have LABView 8.2.1 installed. Thats the one we are using at the moment.

It sounds like you may not have the LabVIEW Real-Time Module installed.  To check for this module, open Measurement and Automation Explorer, expand the 'Software' listing under "My System", expand LabVIEW 8.2.1 and you should see a sub-listing for Real-Time Module.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm back from sickness.

Yes under "My System"->Software->LabVIEW There are "FPGA", "PID Contron Toolset" and "Real-Time" entries. I tried re-starting LabVIEW but it didn't work either.

If you check the dependencies of the project from the Project Explorer window, are there any VIs listed with errors or warnings?

[Spundun]

I believe no.

We tested it on two different machines and on one machine it works on theother it doesn't. The build specification is to make an application for crio or something like that. It makes a file called startup.rtapp . My colleagues are guessing that I don't have some application building capabilities or something like that.

This error indicates that there are files called by the support files that can't be found on the computer.  Make sure that you have properly registered dlls and correctly installed plugins to the right location.  I would suggest creating a new, very simple executable and see if you can reproduce the error.
