CIN tools missing from LabView 6i

[RD]

I'm trying to communicate with an external .dll but the necessary header files are absent. I saw an earlier post in this vein, and obtained extcode.h from it, but everything that it calls is also missing. The earlier suggestion about a custom installation of the toolbox has also proved ineffectual, since it doesn't seem to be extant at all.

First thing to check is whether you've got the Full or Professional version of LabVIEW. The Basic version doesn't include the CIN and DLL tools.

The CD is marked "Base Package for Windows 2000/NT/Me/9x" so I bet that's the problem. Now to go talk someone into springing for the professional version...

Although now I do have to wonder why in the "examples" folder there is a "dll" folder with sample VI's that use external code. And what's more, they work. Oh, well. Thanks!
