CVI 8.5 IDE fatal errors

You can find the LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 readme here. Also, you can refer to the LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 Bug Fix Information tutorial which has the same bug fix information as the readme.

You know what my problem is?  I've been using NetBeans 6.1, and I'm spoiled now.  This free IDE (which can be used for C/C++ development) is remarkable.  The "local history" capability  is incredible - instant, complete history of changes, nice presentation of differences.    Gives you a complete history of your work.  Built in profiler, refactoring, modeler. Several versioning tool interfaces integrated into it.  Source editor is also remarkable - complete tailorability as far as style - you can tailor every nuance with regard to braces, spaces, indentation, parentheses, source folding, etc. etc.   Complete tailorability as far as toolbars, keystroke shortcuts, comment treatment, etc. etc.  And the tool's not buggy - everything seems to just flat out work properly.

Maybe the day will come when NI provides CVI as a plugin for NetBeans or Eclipse.   I bet the CVI compiler could be used with these without too much hassle.

Hello,

Where I can download the CVI 8.5.1 SW?
I have also the "Unrecoverable Internal Error at 001B:103C9FF7"

Thanks

I think you have to buy it - 8.5.1 wasn't a free maintenance upgrade, that's what irked me a bit in that 8.5 was so buggy.

Depends on your licensing agreement too - some license agreements offer upgrades.  I think if you had walked in off the street and had purchased CVI 8.5, you'd have to fork over full price for the 8.5.1 version that fixed 8.5 bugs.

Or I could be wrong, someone from NI will correct me if I am I'm sure.

At some point, the crashes abated to a great extent as I was using 8.5.

You might try creating a new workspace, and project, and add all of your files back in indeividually, and see if the problem persists.

It's not clear to me that NI ever conceded that there was anything broken in 8.5 related to this.

We've used CVI 9.0 and 9.1 without these types of crashes, though users have mentioned various problems with 9.1.

So I would consider upgrading to 9.0 maybe rather than 8.5.1, especially if you have to pay fresh $ for it.  Or wait for 9.1 to settle down a bit.
