Classic Filter VI - Unable to view properties

[GarethNZ]

Hi all, 

Hoping someone may be able to help with this issue. I have Labview base with a trial of the advanced signal processing toolbox, and I am trying to place the classic filter VI. Whenever I do this, in my program or a new VI, I get the error "Unable to View properties". 

I have tried completely removing and reinstalling LabView, to no luck so far. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I'm not sure, but I don't think the Advanced Signal Processing Toolbox is available on the Base license.  Your "error" may represent a non-recognized Toolkit.

That is an Express VI.  Each Express VI has its own configuration VI.  If that configuration VI is broken or missing, you will get the "Unable to view properties" message.

Note that due to a deficiency in LV, the link from the Express VI to the configuration VI is an absolute or symbolic path; so if you move an Express VI on disk, that link will point to the wrong location and the configuration VI won't be found.

Try running the attached VI to help in tracking down the issue.

Thank you, as its a new install I'm not sure why the VI would have been moved on the disk. Where would the express VI be install typically, I gather I need to locate it on disk to run the VI checker?

Drop a path constant onto the block diagram.

Drag the VI from the palette onto that constant.

Okay, here's the output of the checker VI. Anything amiss in this output?

Well there's no way for me to tell.  It's up to you to check if the configuration file is present, and if it is, whether it is broken.

It occurred to me that I should add more capabilities (sorry, I didn't feel like making an icon).
