Duplicate DLL names while creating deployment support VIs

[Anil Kandangath]

I'm trying to create support VIs for a whole bunch of TS sequences, all of which call many LabVIEW VIs. I'm trying to upgrade from LabVIEW 8.0.1 to LabVIEW 8.6 (TS is v3.5). When I try to run the TestStand deployment utility after adding all the relevant sequences to the workspace file, I get the following error:

Error: The following VIs or Project Libraries have duplicate names
You must change the names or add them to project libraries:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\resource\lvanlys.dll
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\resource\lvanlys.dll
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\resource\lvanlys.dll" is an invalid path since I do not have any such folder in my National Instruments directory, so why am I getting this error, and how could I possibly resolve this? Any help will be appreciated.

thanks!

HI,

make sure you mass compile all your VI's including the TestStand related vi folders.

The problem was caused by an absolute path to the dll in one of the low level VIs in my application. I used Textpad to search through the VIs for the .dll until I found the ones that had the offending path.

The fix was easy - I just opened the VI on a machine with LV 8.6, and when it could not find the dll at the original path, it prompted me to find it.

Thanks!
