Browse to Local File error 7 in LV2013

[Viper]

I use the open URL in local browser.vi to open an SVG file. It works in LV2019 but throws an Error 7 in LV2013. I need a work around to get it to work in LV2013 I have attached the SVG file in a zip because for some reason SVG files are not a valid file to upload to the forums.

TIA

A workaround that comes to my mind is using the command line:

As you notice, I quickly wrote this snippet in 2019, but I want to think it should also work in 2013.

2 options in LabVIEW 2013:

1. Use a path without space;

or

2. Use "file:\\%s" instead of "file://%s"

Hi George,

I removed all spaces and it opens the associated app inkscape instead of IE or Chrome. I tried it both with \\ and //.

Inkscape is the editor for SVG files.

You are right, it doesn't open in the default browse.  In my case, it opens in IE instead of Chrome.

This does look like the best option. Is there a way to read the windows default app for web browser? That way the end user always gets their preferred web browser instead of me choosing it for them.
