Missing Flexmotn.bas in NI-Motion 8.1 Installation

Hi,

 

I just updated my system from NI-Motion 7.4 to 8.1, only to discover after a no-error installation that the file flexmotn.bas has disappeared. The other two modules, motncnst.bas and motnerr.bas are however present.

 

I tried re-installing with all of the install options selected to see if it was lurking anywhere else, but to no avail.

 

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an 8.1-compatible version of flexmotn.bas?

 

Without it, I can no longer re-compile my project...!

 

Many thanks

Dear Tim,

 

I installed the motion 8.1 drivers yesterday, and found the same issue. Even when VB support was explicitly selected from the installation menu, the flexmotn.bas file was not installed - althouigh its .h equilivent was!! See my screen capture below...

I have spoken with National Instruments R&D about this issue, and they have agreed to resolve this issue for the next release.

In the mean time, please find the attached flexmotn.bas file - and ensure that it is placed with the other .bas files in the following location...

 

Program Files»National Instruments»NI-Motion»FlexMotion»Include

 

I apologise for the inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

 

Best wishes,
