Please find the VI named ...

[Slartibartfast]

I wrote a VI and everthing was fine!
Today LabView crashed while running my VI. I rebooted the computer an tryed to reload the VI. But now I get the Message "Please find VI the named [myvi.vi]". I think it is damaged.

Are there any tools to repair my VI?

I tryed the mass compile, but it returned an Error. I tryed toload it into the Block Diagram of a new VI, but nothing happend. No Error anno VI appeared.

Thats mean your sub vi "myvi.vi" inside your main vi is missing. try window search "myvi.vi" if cannot find you need to recode your "myvi.vi".

The Problem is that "myvi.vi" is the main vi. The SubVIs of "myvi.vi" are not damaged. It's only the main VI.

Rename the vi , if that does not work, try to copy the code and put it in a new vi and save it.

I renamed the VI! No effect.
I can't copy the code and put it in a new VI, because I can't open the Origanl!
I know that my Situation is bad, but does anybody know a tool to repair damaged files?

What you mean my damage? cant run? what error does it say? Or do you change your Labview version?

I wrote a VI. Then LabView crashed while running this VI. After rebooting the computer I can't open the VI any more. When I try to open a file dialog appears and tells me to find the VI. But it is in the directory. I don't know why LabView doesn't find it. If I continue with Cancel or Ok LabView closes again. And I also can't insert it into a new blockdiagram as SubVI or something. And I tryed the mass- compiler. No effect.
So I think the VI is damaged and I'm looking for a tool to repair it.

Then my suggestion is contact NI and sure they will have something for you.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
Do you get help from NI ?

Not with this question I'm afraid. You will at least have to tell use
what is the VI you are looking for. Maybe it is a standard VI which is
shipped with LabVIEW and you haven't installed on your system because of
a custom installation. Maybe it is a VI provided by an add-on Toolkit
you need to buy to be able to use. Or maybe it is a VI written by the
developer of the function you want to load and which he forgot to
include in the library.

So tell us what VI you are looking for and we can tell you where it
would be.
