File missing after install LabVIEW 8.5

[Mr. Robert]

Hello all,

I have developed some programs using LabVIEW 7.1 before.

After installing LabVIEW 8.5, the execute file using 7.1 develop is no problem.

But the original VI is broken, I tried using LabVIEW 7.1 and 8.5 to open; the problem still not solved.

The progam is using DAQ , error vi and office toolkit,etc.

Do anyone have same problems, how do you solve?

Thanks

What error do you get?

By default the report generation toolkit can only be installed once, but their is somewhere a KB article (I can't easily find it right now) that discusses this (maybe it's even on the CD.

Thanks.

you mean install only "one".

that is  if I installed LV 7.1 and 8.5, both 7.1 and 8.5 can use the DAQ or ofiice or other add-on library with no problem.

If I  installed 7.1 and library before LV 8.5, one of (LV7.1 or LV8.5 ) will make problem.

Now, I have problem on this case.

No!

The daq is not the problem, you only have to run the installer of daq again, and select 'add LV 8.5 support'

Such an option is not available for the toolkits, those can (by default) only installed on one LabVIEW version.

The following KB describes a workaround for this

If you uninstall the office toolkit, then reinstall it, all should be good (for both 7.1 and 8.5)

The office toolkit (I think it's this one) uninstalls itself if you try to install it over a previous one, and doesn't throw out errors, but if you install it after verifying it is uninstalled, it will install to both labviews

Hi Everyone,

Like mentioned before, the DAQ driver is NOT  the problem, all you have to do is reinstall it again and the installer will populate the VI's for the latest version of LabView. As far as the Report Generation Toolkit, when you run the installer it automatically installs to the latest verision of Labview installed on the computer. The problem with this is that sometimes when the toolkit is already installed in an older version of Labview, it won't install again even if a newer version of Labview is installed. To get around this issue you must uninstall the toolkit completely (from the control panel in windows) and reinstall it. This time the toolkit will be installed in the latest version of Labview and you have to manually install it in previous versions. To accomplish this, follow the instructions here: Installing Toolkits for Use with Multiple Versions of LabVIEW

Hi all,

Does that mean that you are still getting that error? or did my previous posting resolved the problem? If you are still getting the error, what do you mean by your original VI being broken. Can you tell which VI's are missing in the code?

[Mr. Robert]

Hi all,
I've vieewed the code inside. The problem occur in calling the activex to control excel.
The other format in html and standard report is no problem.
The problem does not occur before install LV 8.5.

I've remove office toolkit and reinstall.
The problem is the same.
I use LV7.1, LV8.5 and office 2000.

Thanks.
