Help in loading a lower LV version Source distribution as a plugin GUI in higher LV version EXE

[Dhivya12]

Hi,

I have an EXE GUI and I load a source distribution as plugin GUI in this EXE GUI. I have built both EXE GUI and source distribution in LV2010 and it is working fine. Now I am planning to upgrade both EXE GUI and source distribution version to LV2014. When I tried loading the old source distributions which were built in LV2010 in the new version EXE (LV2013), it is not loading the Plugin GUI as expected. When I tried probing in the LabVIEW code, I get an error message saying "Labview load error code 11: VI version(10.0) cannot be converted to the current LabVIEW version (13.0.1f5) because it has no block diagram". I need to fix this issue. 

Thanks & Regards,

Dhivya

It seems you saved this plug-in without a block diagram as it says. You will need the original code with block diagrams in order to upgrade. No way around that.

That's the way it works with plugin VIs for exes: the plugin VIs need to be in the same LV version as the exe because they are loaded in the exe context, meaning they run in the corresponding run-time engine (in your case in the Run-time 2013). Even saving the LV 2010 plugins with diagram won't help since the run-time engine can't convert VIs.
