Vision Builder 2013, windows 8 Compatability?

[jstamour802]

Trying to run VBAI2013 on windows 8 results in just the splash screen visible. The program never launches, and just sits in the task manager as a process consuming RAM but no CPU.

Tried restarting, compatability modes for Win7 or XP, turned off firewall, UAC, and smart screen, run as admin, etc...... no avail.

VBAI is definitely tested on Windows 8 and does work fine (normally!). This is a problem I have not heard of before, and none of the options you listed as trying should be necessary to run it.

Could you try creating a dump file from task manager for the VBAI process and posting it? We might be able to deduce from that where it is hung and maybe give you a suggestion to try. Also, it might be possible that some dependencies are corrupt on your system. Do you have other NI software pieces installed besides VBAI? This might give us some insight into trying to reproduce the setup. Also, have you tried re-running the installer and selecting a "repair"?

Got it working thanks - I had to repair all the individual NI modules that were loaded (Labview, vision dev module, etc.).

All the co-dependencies that NI software and hardware require is maddening...

Thanks
