open and run rt target project in windows

[Fewoiz]

I created a project intended to be deployed on a RT target, but now I have a new PXI chassis that runs on Windows.  It's much easier to develop on Windows, but when I open the project none of my VIs are visible because I'm missing some plug-in.  I've downloaded a bunch of plug-ins, but since the error doesn't tell me which one I am missing I'm never certain if I downloaded the right one.  Either way I don't even wan the plug-in, I just want to run my project from Windows instead of RT.

It seems as if you are trying to use your PXI system on your project as a RT target, even though it is running Windows, you could just use the PXI system as the development enviroment, so you wouldn't have add it to your project, in this case the plug in that is mentioned is probably the Real Time module, but even then it doesn't really make sense add the PXI to the project this way.

If I understand you right, all you need to do is delete the broken target, and add your files back into your project.  You can take a look at the .lvproj (it's in XML, but readable, once you get used to the format), and see what files you had included before.

If I open the project with the PXI system running Windows I can't see any of the RT target VIs.  The only thing I know how to do is open the VIs from Windows explorer and create a new project.  When I do this though, I lose all of my project organization.  I'm think there should be some easy way to change the target without having to have the missing plug-in.

You can right-click 'My Computer', and 'Add/File...', to add the files to your project outside the RT target.  Then delete the RT target.

If you're really courageous, you could edit the .lvproj in your favorite text editor (back it up first).  You can move the .vi entries to the 'My Computer' section.  I suggest you 'Add/File...' first, so you can be sure you know where to put them.
