subVI or controls not loaded - missing files from location misc.llb

[kdoggett]

When I try to load VI in Labview 2012, I get several errors for missing files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI ELVISmx\misc.llb\subRecordEEPROMValues.vi

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI ELVISmx\misc.llb\subGetDevProductType.vi

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI ELVISmx\misc.llb\ctl_ProductType.ctl

Why am I missing these required files?

The VI you're using sounds like it's using those subVIs and they're not in those locations. This can be because of a custom install where the path is not that one, or it could be a version change and those files were moved. Did you make this VI? Has it worked before? Did you install NI ELVISmx? That might be worth a shot since those are the folders that it's looking in. Just make sure the version you download in compatible until your verison of LabVIEW.

I did a complete uninstall and fresh installation and did not encounter the error.  So, I have no definitive answer for this issue.

Thanks for your input.
