why my LV 8.6 (Englsih version in WIN 7 English OS) can not open programs I developed under LV (Chinese version)

Hi,

I just installed  LV 8.6 (English version) in my new laptop (WIN 7 English OS). I found under LV 8.6 environment I can not open some programs I developed using LV 8.5 (Chinese version). These programs are saved in folders with Chinese names (subvis for some programs have Chinese names). If I take these programs on the desktop and chang the Chinese name into number or English name I can open them usingL LV 8.6. However, all Chinese words in opened programs can not be identified. 

 

 

 What should I do?

 

Thanks.

I was replying into a recent message thread where the user posted a VI that had some oriental characters in the VI name and I was not able to open it as a result until I saved the file and renamed it using normal alphabetical characters.  It is not a problem with LabVIEW but with windows not knowing what to do with a strange character set.

 

The only solution I know is to go change your file and folder names so they don't use chinese characters.  You could also try opening them on a chinese version of Windows.  Maybe Microsoft has some download you can install that will allow english Windows to work in a chinese environment.
