Error while exporting cvi settings

[RobertoBozzolo]

Hello all, I tried using Tools >> Import/Export Settings... facility to export the configuration of CVI to another machine, but I receive this error:

What can be the cause? Is there any way to correct it?

Using CVI 2009 SP1 on a fresh Win7Pro (64 bit) machine.

It's possible that some of the strings being saved in the XML file are too long (maybe a long path in one of the settings). Have you tried narrowing down which settings group might be causing the problem by unchecking some of them?

Unfortunately the error comes out immediately after the menu selection: if there's an options panel, it doesn't show 

Tomorrow I'll be out of office, but next wednesday I'll try to run the tool from the command line and see what happens. In the meanwhile if you have any further suggestion I'll be glad to hear it.

Hello Roberto -

I'm not sure exactly where that error you're seeing is coming from, but if you could post your entire registry hive starting at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments\CVI" either here or PM it to me, I can hopefully reproduce the error you're seeing. 

My guess is that the tool is unable to handle a very long registry key or value that you might have under that hive.

Thanks, Nick. I have sent you a PM with the registry hive you asked for. Let me know if  you find something strang to correct.
