XLR8 VIs broken in v2023.4.0.2 with LabVIEW 2022 Q3

[yourfavoriteproperty]

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of the XLR8 toolkit available for 2022 Q3 and a lot of the VI's are broken.  I have .NET framework v4.0.30319 installed.  I am on a Win10 computer.  I noticed that when I downgrade XLR8 to version 2019.2.0.3 the VI's are not broken.  Does anyone know anything about this?

I take back what I said about v2019 working; Trying to work with this version I realized that a different set of XLR8 VIs are broken.

I figured out the problem.  I had installed another library that also contained the NPOI .dll files and they had the same file names as the ones used by XLR8.  I suspect the .dll files from the other library were a different version and LabVIEW was loading those instead of the ones supplied with the XLR8 toolkit.

Removing the LabVIEW_NPOI library by BenjaminR from vi.lib resolved the problem for me.  Any other library that uses NPOI could also theoretically cause this problem.

Hello,

I am happy that you found the solution to your problem yourself.

And yes, installing any other library to LabVIEW that uses NPOI most probably will brake XLR8 as we are using a modified version of NPOI where we have added several functions to make it work faster with LabVIEW.
