ordinal 215 not found in visa32.dll

I'm trying to port code that was developed in LabView 6.0 to LabView8.2.  When I attempt to run the code, I get the following error message:
"The ordinal 215 could not be located in the dynamic link library VISA32.dll".
 
This error seems to pop up whenever I make a call to the any of the VXI vi.  Currently, we have NI-VXI 3.3.1 and VISA 4.0 installed, and we have a MXI-2 PCI card installed in the PC.  The precompiled version of the LabVIEW 6.0 code works on the same PC.
 
Thanks in advance

Hi Carl_Ray,
After installing LabVIEW 8.20, did you reinstall VISA and VXI so that these drivers support version 8.20? I would repair the installations of both drivers. Does that change the behavior you are seeing?

I found out what the problem was.  It had another version of the VISA32.dll driver sitting in my working directory, so LabView was refering to that when it runs.  After I removed that file, the error went away.
