Hi Jonathan,
in fact, I did no further changes.
After installation of 8.1, restart of PC, I did run CVI8.1. You'll be asked if the previouse configuration of the IDE (8.0) should be used or not. In my case I decided to use the previouse settings.
I did then load the Project directly from the VOB (last setting).
Next step was, Edit»Project»Source Code Control Options, doing a few clicks and that's it. (pls. see attachement).
Kind regards,
Claus H.
