LV Help doesn't open the examples

[Broken_Arrow]

The little buttons in LabVIEW Help which are supposed to open a relevant Example do not work on my machine. I suspect this is because I didn't install LV in the recommended spot. Mine's at D:\Labview. Is there a ini file or something I can edit to fix this?

The help files are located in a subdirectory of the Labview.EXE installation directory by default.

Thus

Directory of C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabView 7.1
which contains

--Labview.EXE
--Labview.ini
..... a couple of other misc files

More importantly a folder
HELP
which contains all the help files.


Make sure you actually installed them....
about 43 files of 17Mb

Yes, the HELP directory with 17MB of files is there. Help isn't the problem, it's that Help doesn't open up the Examples as it should - when you click the little buttons (see attached jpeg). I've installed LabVIEW at D:\LabVIEW, so maybe there's a pointer missing?

I get that problem too... I know they're installed, since I can find them manually, but they just won't work with those pointers... bug in LabVIEW?

There are several reasons that the buttons in LabVIEW Help may not work. Here is a knowledgebase from our website that covers some of the most common reasons for this behavior. Take a look and see if it points you in the right direction. Have a good day!
