LabVIEW Project not loading- stuck on RGT VIs

[PeterFoerster]

Hello all,

recently I've been fighting with a problem: I can't open one of my projects as it gets stuck on one of the report generation toolkit VIs upon loading. This happened both before and after a complete reinstall of LabVIEW. I've also tried doing a mass compile, but it gets stuck on those same VIs.

Eventually, the project will open, if I try enough times, which I only tried as I noticed that it getting stuck on different VIs each time, but obviously that's a nuisance.

It usually gets stuck on:

_office\exclsub.llb\...

_office\wordsub.llb\...

Where do I even start debugging this?

It is likely to be one of four things:

• Something is seriously wrong with your OS (which I assume is some flavor of Windows).
• Something is amiss with your version(s) of LabVIEW (of which we have no inkling).
• Something is sufficiently "buggy" in your code to hang LabVIEW when opening the Project (but it is difficult to pass judgment as we haven't seen the Project).
• You found an obscure bug in LabVIEW (indeed, possible, but rare ...).

Lacking further data, I'd wager there's something strange about your code.  If I had a copy of your Project and knew which version of LabVIEW it required, I'd try loading it, try to understand what I saw happening, and if I "got stuck", would try to open selected VIs without opening the Project and study the behavior for clues.

I can only offer a lame reply.

Could Office have been updated?

Does a mass compile help out?
