cannot load nationalinstruments.ui library

[TomLove]

Received this error:  Could not load file or assembly 'NationalInstruments.UI, Version=8.6.35.465, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=18cbae0f9955702a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

This app runs fine on a 32-bit XP system with "eval" software, but when I move it to Vista64 I get the above error.  App is VS2008 Visual Basic.NET under .NET3.5.

The dll is properly referenced in the VS2008 project references and the file exists in the location specified.  It just won't open.  This is a run-time problem -- app builds without errors or warnings.

Thanks.

Tom.

Hey Tom,

This is likely because your project is configured to target AnyCPU, and not x86 (Measurement Studio assemblies currently only support the x86 platform).  Check out the help topic Using Measurement Studio on 64-Bit Operating systems for more information.
