Bug fix for NI Do-While step type?

[Darin]

I'm using a group of add-on flow control step types from NI that implement common looping structures. However, the Do-While step results in an error -13 when you try to edit/configure an existing step.

Has anyone else seen this, and more importantly, is there a fix for this?

Hi Darin,

I'm not able to answer your question but i would be interrested in these step types too.

Could you please paste the link where to find them?

Hi Darin,

I'm not sure if I have the exact same version of the Flow Control steptypes as you, but when I tried editing/configuring the Do-While step type several times over and over again I could not cause it to throw any error. Go to the following link and download what we have on our website and replace the steptypes that you have with these (I just downloaded the ones listed on this webpage and tested your scenario with them):

Let us know if reinstalling the steptypes fixes the problem or not. If not, perhaps you could post a small example sequence that utilizes the steptypes you have so that we
can check to see if they are the same version and try to reproduce the error with a sequence you generated. Thanks!

Two NI guys said they could not reproduce my problem, so I'll try downloading the files from here again. Perhaps something is wrong in my environment.
