Hello to all,
I am trying to run my old, functioning Labview project in LabVIEW 2012 (new version compared with the one used to build the project), which involved the PFGA.
When I open the Realtime ( just one VI), may sub-VIs and ctl, llb cannot be found. If I search each of them, they are still in the labview just in a different position as the new version of labview.
Even, I manually locate them, and save the changes, the project still cannot find them when I open it at the second time. Is there a simple solution for it? I don't want to update the code, as most of them is not made by me, so too much risk to do that.

Did you also install all required modules and drivers when you installed LabVIEW 2012?

I have all the modules installed, and all the sub-VIs are in the computer, but they are all at other location, due to the new version LabVIEW has a new file structure.

That doesn't sound right.
Are you sure you installed the modules AFTER you installed the new version of LabVIEW and that the ones you installed were the ones that came with the new version of LabVIEW?

yes, all the necessary VIs are in the computer, just at a different location which is not expected.
For example, I used ex_FindNextAvilFile.vi, for my project, it expected this vi in National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\Targets\vi.lib\express\express output........ But the real location of this vi is in National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\express\express output....
see the file structure is different.

I have LV 7.1, 8.0 and 8.6 installed on XP, 2012 and 2013 installed on Win7 and all of them have vi.lib directly under the LabVIEW x.y folder.

It shouldn't be. Any chance you moved something? Or your original LabVIEW installation was messed up?

I am not sure about the original one. it was not made originally by me.
how to modify it?
