LabVIEW 8.5.1 / Report Generation Toolkit / Office 2k3 & 2k7

[JertoZ]

Hi

I have just upgraded from LV8.5 to LV8.5.1 and it's toolkits and I don't see the report generation toolkit in my menu.
I would have accommodate myself if the problem was only with menus, but now some of the vis included in the toolkit don't work anymore.
I verified in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\addons\_office and everything seem to be installed...


I was wondering if it makes a difference because I have both Office 2k3 and Office 2k7 installed on my machine.
Everything was working well with LV8.5 and both installation of Office. 

I have tried to reinstall/repair the report generation toolkit, but nothing change.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Ok,

I have solved my problem
Did a restore to original setting on my palette set and everything came back to normal.

Still it doesn't explain why I had broken VIs that are now working... 

Thanks anyway

Hi Julien,

I ran into the same problem, it seems that the 8.5.1 just overwrites NIReports.llb in the utility folder regardless if the report generation toolkit is installed or not. The fix for the problem is to completely uninstall the previous version of the toolkit and  install it as a fresh copy.

This should fix your problem.

It is true for each updater, that it overwrites the NIReport.llb. I just copy the llb into another folder and after updating but before mass compile I copy it back again. This worked for each update (7.1 -> 7.1.1; 8.0 -> 8.0.1; 8.2 -> 8.2.1).
