Library Load Error, Cannot find 32-bit program file for library '.ini-Style Files For Multibyte Strings'.

[Simone_Barozzi]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post on this forum, because usually I find easily the solution in past topics, so please forgive me if this request seems so silly.

I just checked for days in your forum and googled many times with no result.

Maybe I'm missing some point but I'm quite used to work in CVI on previous edition so it's annoying now that I'm not able to fix this.

Let me explain what's happening: during any project loading, also creating a new empty one, CVI 2017 always shows a library load error, multiple times.

The error is always the same:

"Cannot find 32-bit program file for library '.ini-Style Files For Multibyte Strings'."

as you can see in the picture.

The library usually is loaded via it's own fp from "c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\CVI2017\toolslib\toolbox\inifile.fp"

I tried everything to remove it, with no effect becasue also after closing and reopening CVI the issue is always there.

In past CVI Edition when something like this happened, I just remove the library no loaded from the list of libraries, but now it has no effect.

The funny thing is also that, the library is there and working, all the panels are responsive so I can't understand why is doing so.

Do you have any idea?

thanks

Simon

After several check I found the issue.

I simply missed that the library load error was on a shared library for TestStand 

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\CVI\instr\TestStand\API\mbinifile.fp

and not to 

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\CVI2017\toolslib\toolbox\inifile.fp

Removing the fisrt entry from list of loaded library, fixed the issue.

I just posted this to close the request and let anyone who find a similar issue what was the problem and what to do to solve this.
