Dear All,

I am always getting this link error.

I suspect that the project I am trying to build was made in a previous CVI version.

Please help

Hello Francesco,

try to look at the folowing documents, you'll maybe find useful information.

Thanks for your reply.

Can be a windows releted problem? one collegue has windows 7 and it seems to compile and build fine but I have windows 10.

I found that ImageBase is mentioned here:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labwindows-cvi/page/cvi/usermanual/prjbuildopt.htm

I have made some more experiments.

I started from the example here: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/09/calling-a-dll-in-labwindows--cvi---expli...

It works fine.

Then I added the .lib and .h that I need to use and added some simple code just to open an USB communication.

I get the same error I get in my project.

If I comment the line with hid_open then no problem.

I am attaching the modified example in case of need.

Thanks

Francesco

Update: in CVI2010 the project can be successfully compiled and built. In CVI2017 not.

So maybe there is some kind of issue with 32-bit DLL managing in CVI2017.
