Call Labview8 VI from TestExec5.1

Hello,

I need to call some Labview8 VI from TestExec5.1 (Agilent).
It works fine with Labview 7.1, but exactly the same code with Labview 8.0
give me back an error with 2 error messages:
"The file C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 8.0\Files\Nationaln is
not a valid LabVIEW file."

and then

"An error has occured in LabVIEW.
Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Preload Instrument.vi->UTA Execute DEE Command.vi->UTA Action Launcher.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example,
use \ as path separators on Windows,: on Mac OS, and / ond Linux.

NI-488: Non-existent board.
VI Path: c:\temporaire\testexec\somme.llb\testexec_somme.vi
... during Pre/Postrun of Call to Somme.

Hi,

 

The problem was a TestExec bug.

Agilent give my a patch to install, which resolve the problem. You have only to put the dll in the directory "C:\Program Files\Agilent\TestExec SL 5.1\Bin" (don't forget to rename the old dll). And then it should work.

Cheers,
