CVI 9.0 Bug?

[YL_2009]

Hi there,

I have one of these errors in my WinXP Application Event Viewer:

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    CVI
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    0
Date:        10/5/2009
Time:        11:33:47 AM
User:        N/A
Computer:    HLP-YLIEW
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( CVI ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: [11:33:47.290] [FATAL] [LW_GenEA] [..\jeff\i386\emit.c:2749] Assertion failed: 0.

There are probably about 2000 of such errors in a row from 11:33:47 AM till 12:44:28 PM.

Now whenever I have SetCtrlAttribute function panel opened and try to select the list of value constants, CVI will crash.

Any idea?

Hello,

What you have reported is actually a known issue for LabWindows/CVI 9.0.1.  Please take a look at this KB, and install the included patch to fix the crash you are seeing.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any trouble.

I am building my app with CVI 2009 and am seeing a similar error. This error is constant in my event viewer whil my application is open.

The last line of the error is the only thing different from the error above.

The following information is part of the event: [16:50:45:227][FATAL][AllocateRuntimeCOMMSymbolStorage][...\jeff\i386\link.c:1987]Assertion failed: ((uintptr_t)memPtr).

Hi johnoc,

What version of CVI do you have? 9.0.1? The problem that YL was reporting only appeared to be present in 9.0.1 and not 9.0.0 for 2009. The Help->About should have the version number in the bottom right corner for CVI. If you do have 9.0.1, have you tried the patch?

Thanks MichaelAE! I am running 9.1.1, but it is acting as described in the first post of this thread with the only difference being the difference in the last line that I described. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. I would like to determine the root cause.

Hi johnoc,

The previous bug should be fixed for 9.1.1. The error code is also different, so I’m thinking that this could be a separate bug. If I can reproduce this on my end, maybe I can help you out. Are there some simple steps that I can follow to get the same behavior that you’re getting?

Sorry so long to reply Michael. This seems to happen when I am running my app with a local login ID. If I use my Domain login ID on these machines I do not see this Error in the application log. This is puzzling me because the app should have no problem running under a local login.

Hi johnoc,

Are you using any Delay() commands in your code? Could your error be related to this forum (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/faulting-module-cvirte-dll/td-p/1030890)? Are you using any Delay() calls?

It may instead have something to do with Administration privileges with calls that you are using in your program. Is it an option for you to post your code so that I can replicate the error?

Michael,

Reults when I tried to  follow your link:

"The page you are trying to access was not found. Please check your URL for typos and try again."

I need to look into the delay() calls. I know I had some in there a few years back, but I think I changed them over to Sleep().

I will see what I can do about zipping my code up and subitting it. It is quite large.

John

Michael,

Disregard the link issue. It worked after I posted.
