LabVIEW 2015 Init_Open_Close.vi Equivalent?

[josho911]

Can someone help me determine what to do to update an old program to LabVIEW 15? The program currently uses a couple Init_Open_Close.vi functions that are no longer available and need to be updated. I'm not sure what newer function to use to replace them or what other steps need to be taken. I've attached a couple images of my current program.

I'm also having a problem with a 32-bit "File Dialog Wrapper.dll" and need to use a 64-bit version, but don't know how to create/change that either.

Doing a Google search on the term "init_open_close.vi" solves the mystery for you.  It's in an old LabVIEW example.  What the heck is a VI doing using something from an example, anyway?

I did the same search and found the same as you did, but that doesn't help solve my problem. I have an old program that was created by a colleague who isn't here now and we need to update the program. He had the old examples, but I don't, so I can't run the program or build an executable without changing it. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my dilemma?

Look in the llb in the zip folder. It may work for you.

That seems to have helped fix my problem. Thanks for the help.
