"Unable to open project" error - same project, different PC's

[kmagas]

Project works fine on PC#1. When I try to open it on PC#2, I get "Unable to open project - File not found" error. But which file is not found? Who knows, the error does not report it! Did you guys have some Microsoft programmers working on this?

Anyway, I opened the project file up in an editor, and verified that every file referenced in the project is on PC#2. I am using the exact same project, directory structure and source files, transferred thru our network. Everthing this project references is installed in the same directory on both PC's - Measurment Studio, CVI, NIDAQ, NIDNET - all the same versions. The executable created on PC#1 will run on PC#2! But I really need to be able to run the proje
ct there. I have attached the project file below for reference.

I sometimes have this problem when I take a project under source code control (we are using clearcase) and then copy that to a local drive (not under source code control).

When I open the local copy by double clicking on the project file in the local drive, it reports unable to open the file. If I then open the file from the menu, it will load Ok.

Check the source code control options in your CVI before opening it.

Also, if the directory structure is the same on your local network as your Network CVI has the option of attempting to resovle file differences in paths. You may want to check that option is set.

Also, if the file structure is completely different, CVI may choke and fail with the above options.

They are the ones that immediately spring to
mind and if I think of any more I will post.

Hope this helps
