Sir,

From here on out, lets refer to the working machine (clean xp install) as Machine A, and the problematic machine (upgrade from 2000 to xp) as Machine B.... 😉

I recommend that we verify that this problem is due to the runtime difference before moving forward with attempting to identify a bug.


My recommended steps:

Copy the following files on Machine B to the directory of the executable in question on Machine A.
    -All the .DLL files that start with "cvi" in C:\WINDOWS\System32
    -The entire C:\WINDOWS\System32\cvirte\ folder

If the 8.1.1 rutime is indeed the culprit, this should copy the unwanted behavior to Machine A, and you should not see the done button.

Now do the opposite: copy the original, "fully working" .DLL files from Machine A to Machine B's executable directory.
    -All the .DLL files that start with "cvi" in C:\WINDOWS\System32
    -The entire C:\WINDOWS\System32\cvirte\ folder

Again, if the 8.1.1 runtime is the culprit, this should fix the behavior on Machine B.

(This works without overwriting the system .DLLs because C the CVIRTE looks first for its rte .DLLs in the executable directory before looking in the c:\windows\system32 folder)

Please let us know the results so we can move forward to a solution for you, I'm sorry for all the trouble!

Hi, evanp. I am back again...
I try to total uninstall ALL NI software (include NI-DAQ), delete all remain files starting with cvi* in windows system folders and then try to "clean" installation of NI-DAQ + LabWindows6. All this not halp me to solve "no done" problem. The "DONE" button is not visible...

Sir,

Unfortunately, changing the installation on Machine B doesn't help us to determine whether this is a Runtime-specific problem or a Windows corruption issue.

Please read my last post and follow the instructions with your current setup. If the Runtime Engine for your working machine still displays the "no done button" problem on Machine B, then this tells us that it is likely not the runtime engine that is the culprit, but something specific to Machine B.

The sooner we know the results from the steps in my previous post, the sooner we can move forward to finding out exactly what is wrong and how to fix it.

Thanks,

Hello,

Maybe the same problem here?

Two PC with Windows XP SP2, LabWindows/CVI 8.5.0.279 FDS, same DLLs.

On the first PC, the Done button is missing from the Directory selection popup:

• In my application,
• In the LabWindows/CVI IDE (for example when selecting the directory of a new project in the new project wizard).

I tried to uninstall, clean and re-install LabWindows/CVI without success.

On the second PC, all is OK.

Any idea?

Hi,

Could you post your application code, application, and .zip files of your RTE .DLLs for the non-working system (see 3 posts ago by me).

I would love to be able to reproduce this issue and further diagnose.

Thanks!

You can find the requested files attached.

Hi,

Thank you for the files, when I use your RTE, it does not reproduce the issue on my system. This implies that the RTE is not the source of the problem.

If you go to Options»Environment»Include and click Browse... do you notice the Done button missing as well?

This will further help narrow down the cause.

Thanks,

Hi EvanP,

There's no done button here as well.

Hello All,

Since you see no done button in your IDE, try this:

• Close CVI
• Open your registry (start»run»regedit) to KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments\CVI\
• Rename the registry folder for you current version (8.5 in your case) (I suggest Backup-8.5)
• Open CVI again, clicking NO if it asks you if you would like to copy your  settings.

Let me know if the done button is still missing in you IDE (Options»Environment»Include).

Thanks!
