Could not load front panel

I was given an application by a hardware vendor (a test program for their device) that was built via Labview (I have only the .exe). When I try to start it, I get a bunch of "could not load front panel" errors, all of the form:
LabVIEW: Resource not found.
An error occurred loading VI '[x].vi'. LabVIEW load error code 3: Could not load front panel.
[x] is the only difference among the four errors I get, where [x] is:
* NI_AAL_Pro.lvlib:Unwrap Phase.vi
* NI_AAL_Pro.lvlib:Real FFT.vi
* NI_AAL_Pro.lvlibcaled Time Domain Window (DBL).vi
* NI_AAL_Base.lvlib:Mean.vi
Basically every post I can find on ni.com about "could not load front panel" suggests that this is a build-time problem, i.e. that the developer forgot to check a box that would force the missing components to be included, which doesn't help unfortunately... but here's the twist: when I move this to another machine, it works fine. I don't have LabView installed on either machine. Both are Win8.1 x64. I believe the application was built with LabView 2010.
The only relevant difference between the machines that I can think of is that on the machine where the application *doesn't* work, I use many National Instruments device and have installed DAQmx. You'd think that if anything, that would install missing components and make this *less* likely to happen.
Since encountering this problem, I've tried to install every Labview 2010 runtime SP/patch I could find, but unless I'm missing something, there's not really a definitive place I can do to make sure I have all the patches or get a single cumulative rollup.
Any ideas? I don't have access to LabView or the source .vi, but the fact that it works on a second machine suggests there's hope. I really want it to run on my primary machine, where all the relevant hardware is.
Thanks!

Is it possible that one machine only has the minimum run time engine (~42MB) installed? You need the full standard version (~180MB).

Why do I get "error code 3: Could not load front panel" when I run my executable.

I have a LV 8.5 VI that controls only an agilent spectum analyzer. The agilent VIs call DLLs rather than SCPI commands. I created an application and an installer to load on a non LV machine and ran setup which was successful. When I run the EXE I get "error code 3: Could not load front panel" for each of my agilent spectrum analyzer VIs. I have to click "OK" about ten times, once for each VI. (My executable runs fine on all machines that have labview 8.5) The front panel does load with a broken arrow. The errors listed when the arrow is clicked for all of the Agilent VIs state: Missing subVI AGE444xInitialize.VI (or close.VI or read.VI etc.)
There is an AGE444x32.DLL in the data folder with the EXE file so I included as support both the DLL and all of the agilent drivers in the application build. Still no luck. I have built the application and installer about 6 times in various forms. I NEED AIR SUPPORT.
Unfortunately I do not have access to the internet at my jobsite so bear with me.

Hi V-rob,
I'm glad to hear the executable is working now that NI-VISA is installed. Thanks for posting the solution!

How to handle LabVIEW Error 3: Could not load front panel

I was working on an application, running a vi when the computer turned off. It took me a little time to start the computer again (is not an old computer, is a P4, 1GB, ABIT IG7 MotherBoard). After I unplugged and plugged the Power Unit it was possible to start the computer, before starting, it says that a CPU problem occured and press F1 to continue. Afer press F1 Windows started normally. Then I tried to open the vi in which I was working when the problem occured and LabVIEW says:
LabVIEW: Resource not found.
An error occurred loading the vi.
LabVIEW load error code 3: Could not load front panel.
The question is, can I open my vi someway or I just lost it?
I will really appreciate your answers since I have been working for a long time in this vi.

Well, I'm faced with this problem now. VI started its life as a 9.01 LV 2009/Vision 2009 on a given machine. Copied to another machine wth 7.1, 8.2 and 9.01 on it. Opened with 2009, saved it for 8.0. Opened it with 8.2, saved it for 7.1. Opened it with 7.1//Vision 7.1.1, edited it, saved. File appears to be fine.
Now trying to open it with either 8.2 or 2009 (9.01) fails with error code 3. Note that it still opens with 7.1, so the front panel is there. Anyway to fix this?

LabVIEW error code3: Could not load front panel.

Hi
I am getting second time the "LabVIEW error code3: Could not load front panel." when working with the development environment of LabVIEW 2009 SP1.
It is really annoying as I loose time as I have to revert to saved previously code.
Does anybody know where it may be coming from and how to avoid it?
Thanks
Pawel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Pawel,
the panel has an origin which you can see in your VI:
Every element will be placed in a position in regard to this origin:
The position has a limit in regard to the bound. I am not sure about the value, but it should be around -35k...35k (or the double of it)....
hope this helps,

SubVI does not open (error 3 could not open front panel)

For the VI I am working in (trail version of Labview 2011), I have created a subVI. At one time I opened this subVI to adjust the connection terminals -which I have done before- and after saving the file and closing it, the subVI remained unadjusted. In fact, I am not able to open the subVI anymore. And when I want to open the file as a VI (e.g. executing the VI in windows), I receive 'load error code 3: could not open front panel.'
I also cannot preform any tasks such as saving the main program for an older version, because this subVI is present in the program.
Nevertheless, the VI still works as a subVI in the mainprogram I've written -in the way it worked before I adjusted the connection terminals.
Is there any way to resolve my problem, without rewriting the whole subVI? The subVI concerning is attached in this post.
Thank in advance,
ps. after closing Labview, it sends an internal warning report.
Solved!

Hello Stag,
My name is David and I am an Applications Engineer at National Instruments UK.
To clarify the problem, when you receive this error are you trying to run the VI as an executable, standalone file in Windows? If this is the case then I think that I know what the problem could be. When using the Application Builder the Front Panels of SubVI's are removed to reduce file size. It is possible to include them so that they may open and the steps to doing so are listed in the attached link:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8F68715444302CAB86256DDD0071C140?OpenDocument
This link explains why you are receiving this error and how to overcome it.
I hope that this helps you and do not hesitate to contact me if you require more assistance.

Yosemite 10.10.2 will not let me change screensaver or wallpaper. Dialog box says it could not load preference panel

I cannot change screen saver or wallpaper in 10.10.2 Dialog box says "could not load preference panel".

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Otherwise, continue as below.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:

Load error code 3 unable to load front panel

Hi all,
Wrote a vi in 8.6 and saved it for 8.5 for collaborators. When they run it up pops the error code 3 unable to load front panel. Memory full. see attached picture.
Has anyone any suggestions as to how to fix this?

labview error code 3.png ‏51 KB

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments,
Attached is the code (zipped). Excuse the bulkiness of the block diagrams. It basically controls a rotation stage and makes an avi at specific times/angles. The motor stage is ActiveX controlled.
As I don't have access to the hardware I am writing semi-blind. However, when I did visit them and had a quick look at the code I could get it to work by quickly including the subvis into a new main vi and obviously compiling it in 8.5. (may be onto something here!)
Different versions of the labVIEW -> doing a group a favour; I have v8.6 they have v8.5, wrote it in v8.6 saved it for v8.5. I don't have v 8.5. I also have v 8.2.1 on a different machine. Saved it for v8.2.1 and it opened no problem in 8.2.1. Will send this version on and see how they get on. More likely to be forward compatible???
I agree that the optimal situation is 1) use the same version of labview and/or
2) they get someone to do their coding on-site!!!!
I think the corrupt front panel object could be true given that I could get it to work when the subvis were included in a new main vi on-site.
so versions 8.6, 8.5 and 8.2 attached.....
regards,
Leeser

Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane

For some reason my second computer (iMac 27) is no longer showing up on the left pane of any finder window on my MBP. The iMac is running Yosemite and the MBP is running Mavericks. So I open System preferences to see if there is a problem with "Sharing" on the MBP. I'm getting a Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane. Do I need to install the update to fix this? I'm not ready to commit to Yosemite completely. I build apps for iOS and Mac and really need to test in both OS environments.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Installed FF. 8.1 and after reboot, tryed to start FF and got message "Could not load XRE functions.

I have been running I believe FF 6.3. I was getting nag popups to update FF. I went to help and used the selection there to up date. In doing so (more than once tryed this method) it would download and install like a usual update untill compleation. Then it would say Could not compleat update or Could not restart firefox because and instance is running. Close FF and try again. But there was no visiable FF running not even in Device Manager.
I will mention here that I did install Skype last week and have seen a couple of messages concerning Skype not loading on start up but seeing it running in the tool bar if this may have anything to do with it.
So looking for help at the FF site I saw recomended to DownLoad and install FF 8.1 so I did that. Then from Control Panel I uninstalled FF and rebooted and installed fresh leaving the old settings and bookmarks etc. Then rebooted again.
When I started FF 8.1 I now get a message "Could not load XRE Functions".
So remembering the last progy install on this box was Skype I went to the control panel and un installed it ---- and when I did, at the finish I got that same message "Could not load XRE Functions".---- Intresting---- hummmm but how do I get FF installed so I can get on with Life?
I just tried to verify this new account and got the same Couldnt Load message when I clicked on the email link for this forum.
Much Thanks in advance for anyones help.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools

I just got a new workstation set up and I installed VS 2013 with Windows Azure SDK 2.3 first. But then I realized that our project was built upon Windows Azure SDK 2.2. So I uninstalled the SDK 2.3 and then installed 2.2. After that, I got the project from
TFS and tried to run it and there was a problem:
Cannot debug the project because some run time file was missing.
So I tried to repair it by uninstalling Windows Azure SDK 2.2 completely and repair my VisualStudio. But now I get this error message:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture =neutral, PublicKeyToken=232wedsfd3f4' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I looked through the project and there wasn't any reference of Miscrosoft.ServiceHosting. And the database and cloud are working. No idea what happened in the machine since Azure is a new field for me. Does anybody ever meet the same problem?

Hi,
From my experience, there may be some component missing on your computer, I suggest you uninstall again (everything with Azure keyword in control panel, not only the SDK-> Add remove programs."), then open Microsoft web platform installer (http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx),
select azure sdk 2.3, then install this product. Hope this helps, if not, please feel free to let me know.

PSE 6 "Could not load the styles b/c of a program error

This is an error that evolved from the "This styles file is bad or corrupt.
Found a folder accidentally downloaded into Styles area and removed it, checked every other file in there, all good, rebooted. Now PSE has a new error "Could not load the styles because of a program error." Any more help?

I posted this on your other thread...
Yeah, it's the bit I deleted but wanted to find the reference before posting.
Navigate to the MediaDatabase.db3 file and rename it...add a ~to the front of the filename or name it something like MediaDatabase.db3.TMP. It will take several minutes to rebuild...may take 5 - 10 minutes so be patient.
