When I try to use Ni Spy I receive the error:

The procedure entry point _StopSpying@0 coule not be located in the dynamic link library NiSpyLog.dll

Ni VISA 4.0

Ni Spy 2.0.0.16

NI-VISA 4.0 should come with NI-Spy version 2.4.  Did you have 2.0 installed previously?  It looks like there may have been a problem with the installation.  Have you already tried uninstalling NI-Spy and reinstalling?

I tried reinstalling before I came here.

I got it figured out here was the problem.

This is a new instalation so I downloaded tha latest VISA (4.0) and NI-488.2 (2.4)

My GPIB controller (USB-A) was no longer supported NI-488.2 version 2.4 (but that's a rant for another day)

So I uninstalled version 2.4 and installed version 2.2.

It seems when version 2.4 was uninstalled it did not remove NiSpyLog.dll and when version 2.2 was installed it did not overwrite NiSpyLog.dll. Possibly because a newer version was already on the system?

I manually removed NiSpyLog.dll and reinstalled just NiSpy from the ni 488.2 version 2.2 package and it works now.
