"Library information could not be updated" message?

When starting up Labview 2012 (dev suite) and opening a project, I am getting a message that says "Library information could not be updated." in a dialog with an OK button.  I click OK, and everything runs fine.  I have two questions...1) how can I make this stop showing up and 2) what happened to make it do this?

Hi Brian,

 

Does this happen with a specific project or does it happen everytime you open a project in LabVIEW? Does this happen only when you open projects or does it also happen with VI's? Moreover do you get the message when you open from the File menu or does this only occur when you do not have LabVIEW running and open a project that launches LabVIEW? Could you post a screenshot when you get the error? Thanks

Any movement on this?  I'm getting the same error.

I never figured out the cause of the problem.  I eventually, for unrelated reasons, set the project to separate compiled code from the VIs.  After that process completed, the "Library information could not be updated" message did not return.  I haven't had it come back since, although I can't claim that this is the correct repair procedure!

Trying to sort out this problem myself. It only occurs when opening one project.

The only time I have seen this problem is when I try to delete from a project a file that LV thinks has been modified, but which doesn't exist anymore on disk.

Hi LV_Pro,

 

Have you tried brian_g's workaround? To separate compiled code from VIs, see this white paper:

Hmm. Today I'm getting this exact same issue. I have just installed a number of toolkits however so I'm going to dig around and try to get to the bottom of it...

Oddly, it shows problems loading Express stuff, and I'm not aware of any NI express code in my project...

OK.... Odd....

 

1. I made a backup of my entire project to work from, duplicating all VIs into a temporary location.

2. I closed LabVIEW, then opened the duplicate project. During load I saw the "Library information could not be updated" message.

3. I removed three VIs from my project relating to one particular driver (I don't think the exact VIs are relevant, but I had to start somewhere), saved the project, closed LabVIEW and reopened to project to see if the message would appear. It did not.

Ha! So "the issues is related to these particular VIs", I thought.

I closed LabVIEW completely and went back to my original Project, opened it and... no error message. But I haven't changed anything here, nor edited any VIs yet. Somehow my original project has stopped complaining!?!

 

What gives here? Cache bin flush?
