I currently have LabVIEW 6 and LabVIEW 8.5 installed on my PC running Windows XP. When I try to open an older VI via LabVIEW 6, I get the following error message:
An error occurred loading VI 'Global-file paths.vi' LabVIEW load error code 9: VI version (8.5) is newer than LabVIEW version (6.0).
I'm trying to open a (dll) file with LabVIEW 6. I recently upgraded the labVIEW version to 8.5, but now i'm unable to run the older VI's in either version of LabVIEW.
What should I do?

That error is the classic "I opened a VI in a newer version and saved. Oops. I wanted to keep it in the newer version." I would think you should still be able to open it in LabVIEW 8.5 though. If you switch between versions a lot, you need to be very careful which version opens a VI. I recommend having 1 version of LabVIEW open at a time and only try to open a VI when you have the right version opened. Otherwise whatever version you used last will try to open the VI.

You CAN always restore the 6.i vis from your source code control repository can't you?

I haven't made a source code control repository.
When I try opening the VI with LabVIEW 8.5 I get the following error:
Error Loading 'C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\lvdaq.dll" A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
When I try opening the VI with LabVIEW 6 I get The following error:
Sub-vi is not executable. The Error list then says that "Call Library Function: function not found in library. However when I get to the configure the library screen the Library Name or Path is correct. Attached is a screen shot.
What is the best way to approach this problem?
Thanks in advance.

If I choose to uninstall LabVIEW 8.5 leaving only LabVIEW 6, will the problem be fixed?

Have you tried reinstalling the traditional DAQ drivers? See also.

Yes, i've reinstalled the traditional DAQ driver ( Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) 6.9.3) and I'm still having the same error.

"The Problem" is thsat you saved the vi while editing it in LabVIEW .8.x LabVIEW 6.i cannot possibly know what software from a decade into the future means. Post your busted vis over to the version conversion board. AND GET a repository set up.
