unable to open resource files.

I have just downloaded and installed the version of labview put out by teams here http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=10934

I installed and activated it everything seemed to go fine, but when I launch the application I get the error message " unable to open resource files."

help please.

Hi Greg,

The "unable to open resource files" error message is often caused by moving files from where they were originally installed. Are LabVIEW.exe and the supporting files all in the same directory? Did you install to the default directory location (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5)?

If that does not seem to be the cause, I would suggest repairing LabVIEW by following these steps:

1. From the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.

2. Select National Instruments software and click Change/Remove.

3. Highlight LabVIEW and click Repair.

If repairing LabVIEW does not eliminate the error, I would remove LabVIEW through Add or Remove Programs and then reinstall the software.

I hope that helps! Please don't hesitate to post back with any questions.

Regards,

Jennifer
