LABVIEWV.LIB was not called from a LabVIEW process

[hrsoegaard]

I have upgraded LV SE from 2011 to 2012.

SE2012 starts up, I choose New project and after some initialization (different messages in the low left corner) I receive this error message:

Fatal Error

LABVIEWV.LIB was not called from a LabVIEW process

After hitting the OK button I receive this one:

Initialization Error

Could not start the application.

Please contact National Instruments.

I have uninstalled SE2012 and reinstalled it with the same error.

Any clue anyone?

Hi hrsoegaard

I have read about this problem occuring on one other customers computer, while he was upgrading from 2011 to 2012.

I his case he did not have the latest version of SignalExpress 2012, he told me that after some time an NI Installer pop'ed up and asked him to install an update and this update solved the problem.

Could you try the following.

1) Go to NI Update Service and see if there is any new updates? If there is try to install this update and see if it solves the problem

2) If there is no update, or this didn't solve the problem. Could you please go to Help --> About Signal Express and give me the full version number of your installation, so I can check if you have the latest version.

Hi Anders

I did not find any updates using the NI Update Service installed locally.

I would be glad to go to Help -> About SignalExpress but I donot come to that level. The far I can go is attached in the screendump.

Hi again,

Could you try to launch Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI MAX) and in the left side under Software see if you have the "NI-HSDIO" driver installed. If you do, could you try to perform a repair on this?

Best Regards

It is not installed!

The "NI-HSDIO" driver is not installed!

Hi Anders

I am not sure whether I expect the "NI-HSDIO"driver to be installed or not?

I am having same/similar issues -- install of LabVIEW 2013 Spring (64-bit), plus device drivers (LabVIEW engineers: SLIPSTREAM the device drivers into the current installer!! And then _you_ test them to make sure they work, as advertised). 

LabVIEW launches and activates against our academic license.  But, initializing Signal Express causes same error as OP encountered -- "Could not start the application.  Please contact National Instruments."  After clearing this error message, I also get the following:  "LABVIEWV.LIB was not called from a LabVIEW process."

NO, we do not have the NI-HSDIO driver installed -- I'm looking right at Measurement/Automation Explorer, tree completely expanded, and it's not listed at all.

I have a dream - just ONCE, before I retire, I'd like to get a freshly downloaded installer from NI, and have it work properly.....

Hi tb85

I feel your frustration and the good news is that I managed to solve the problem after a lot of time consuming trouble shooting.

My receipt (cannot guarantee it will work for you though...) is as follows:

- uninstall all NI components the official way via the 'control panel' - 'add/remove program'

- manually locate the NI installation paths and delete all the remaining NI components

- reinstall the NI components of choice

- reboot

Good luck.
