Why is this item in Dependencies?

[paul_cardinale]

In the past, whenever I would try to use the "Why is this item in Dependencies?" menu item, it would always cause LabVIEW to crash.  Always.  Every version of LV.

This morning I tried it again; and it worked!  First time!  I was shocked.

But nothing has changed.  It just fixed itself by magicalness.

Still crashes for me.

I just tested on 4 different setups:

Win7 LabVIEW 2013 it works
Win7 LabVIEW 2015 it works (2 different PCs)
Win10 LabVIEW 2018 it works
Win10 LabVIEW 2021 it works

all LabVIEW version are 32bits

Interesting. I have used it a lot and never had it crash LV. And I am known to crash LV a lot, so much that I used to say "A LabVIEW crash a day keeps the sanity at bay" (or something like that).

"If you're not crashing LV you're not working." 🙂
