TypeInitilizationException when Using NationalInstruments.Analysis

[nmann]

Hi everyone I could use some help

I am getting the following exception when I run my program

Exception thrown: 'System.TypeInitializationException' in SerialDacq.exe

Additional information: The type initializer for 'NationalInstruments.Analysis.Dsp.SymmetricWindow' threw an exception.

I am currently using the evaluation version of Measurement Studio and can't figure out where to go from here

Help would be appreciated Thanks!

Hey there,

Usually this is thrown because you are missing the DLL associated with the Analysis Class. You can read more here. Does this sound like it can solve your problem?

I have the DLL that is associated with the Analysis Class and it is still throwing the error.

Any idea of where to go from here?

Has this ever worked before or is did this just start happening when using anything from this class?

I would try repairing Measurement Studio itself through Programs and Features in an effort to restore the path in case the DLL was moved or the reference to it was changed.

This just started happening when I added code that uses the Analysis Class.

I am going to try repairing the installation and will post the results here.

I have repaired the installation and I am still getting the same error.

If you can, I would try force reinstalling. The original KB linked above mentions that this shouldn't be happening on a development machine and to reinstall if it is, and I know that you repairing the installation, but force reinstalling can actually touch more files and paths than a traditional repair or uninstall/install.

Sorry it's been a couple days since I checked this. I have tried everything you have suggested and It still does not work.

I am using Visual Studio 2015 and the evaluation version of Measurement Studio

You're using Measurement Studio 2015 with Visual Studio 2015? That would probably be why. Measurement Studio 2015 is made to be used with Visual Studio 2010, 2012, or 2013. It's confusing, I know, but that's just the compatibility of the software. Can you get Visual Studio 2013 and try this program out?
