Error 1004 occurred at Open VI Reference in Directory of Top Level VI.vi- Check Path.vi- Read PNG File.vi- ValveUI.xctl:LoadBackgroundImage.vi- ValveUI.xctl:Facade 1.vi:29- ValveUI.xctl:Facade 1.vi.ProxyCaller

I am trying to dynamically load the background image of an XControl facade using a 'LoadBackgroundImage.vi' that I have written. This SubVI has worked with a normal VIs panel before. It utilizes the 'Read PNG File.vi' from Labview to read in a transparent PNG file to overwrite the Facade background. When the XControl is loaded during design-time it generates an Error 1004 indicating that the 'Read PNG File.vi' is not in memory. I have tried to place a static reference to this vi to force it to load but I still get this error. What is the solution?

Darin, thanks for your reply.
The XControl Facade is rendered on the Main FP when the Main.vi is opened in design mode. Previously I have placed a PNG image onto the Facade pane (i.e. drag-n-drop the image onto the Facade FP during design) and it is displayed on the Main.vi FP in design mode when Main is loaded. However, when I include a call to Read PNG File.vi in the Facade I get the 1004 error. You may not see this error without using a Simple Error Dialog. This failure to find Read PNG File.vi in memory is the main issue.
I have tried to use SubPanels before - they are useless for my purposes for many reasons (they don't show the underlying SubVI pane in design mode, they require the use of SubVI references to load - preventing the use of direct wiring to the SubVI connector, etc.).
Do you know how to dynamically load and call 'Read PNG File.vi' so that Labview is forced to load the VI and then Read PNG File can load the PNG image? I can get 'Read PNG File.vi' to dynamically load and show property values but to call it with the 'Call By Reference Node Function' I need a strict type def to be generated, etc. So what are the steps needed to create a dynamic call to 'Read PNG File.vi'? I haven't seen any good working examples that show how to create the strict typedefs that are required etc. There is no right-click > Make Type Def > ... for Read PNG File.vi or other ways to do this that I have noticed. Showing a finished example doesn't show you how to do it (menu selections, etc.). Or, do I have to hand construct these typedefs by reverse engineering the VI?

Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI

Hello!
I use the report generation toolkit on LabView 7.0 to create a report in Excel. The program works fine until I make an executable version. I the get the error:
Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI
I use the New Report.VI, Bring Excel to front.VI and Save Report To File.vi
Can you pleace help me!!!

Most likely, you did not include the required libraries in your build script. When building an executable in which you use the Report Generation Toolkit, you must include the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs on the Source Files tab.

Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference with Application Builder

Using Labview 5.1, I am building an application where all the vi's are placed in a single .LLB file. I have one top level vi (with sub-vi's), and one vi that is opened by the Open VI command. The program runs fine with labview installed. I want to make an executable file. I select the top level vi and select the vi that is opened by the Open VI command as a dynamically loaded file. I get an error when I attempt to build the file.
"Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> Dist Build App Image.vi -> Build application.vi"

Dear Sir;
There are two things that are good to try:
First, create the application in a folder that is closer to the root directory (e.g., c:\myApp). There is a limit to the length (or depth) of the path name to your application's target directory, so, if you are choosing a too long path you might get an error.
Second: The Application Builder reads certain information from the VI in order to determine how to build the executable. To avoid possible errors, either in the build process or in the built executable, make sure the VIs are LabVIEW 5.1 VIs. You can convert your VIs to LabVIEW 5.1 VIs by using the Mass Compile feature (File >> Mass Compile) in LabVIEW before you build your executable. The Mass Compile feature will allow you to select either a directory or a LabVIEW
.llb file to compile.
Regards

Hopefully this thread, or this KB article might help.
It seems like this could come from a lot of things, but there's suggestions in those which might lead you in the right direction

高手快帮忙谢谢
labview7打包后用到7中新的new report.vi的地方（选择的是word）都提示error 7 occurred at open vi reference in new report.vi。
下面提示的可能原因是Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on UNIX.
我愿自己是个胡萝卜，可以自己自足啦!

我明白您的意思，也可以按您所说的作，
但是open vi peference这个vi是labview提供的标准new report.vi的子vi中使用到的，如果我手动修改open vi peference中的提供的word路径，也就是说labview提供的模块也要自己修改了??

Error 1003 occured at Open VI Reference

This error occured when I want to used the LabView Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Example.
It's impossible for me to execute the example "Generate Report from Template(Excel)"
I suppose I have a problem with the Open VI Reference.vi function but I don't know where is that VI.
Could you let me know where are the VIs listed in the Application Control Pallette.
Do you know why I have this type of problem.
Thanks
Lucie

The VIs located on the application control palette are primitives and are part of LabVIEW itself. Therefore you can not look at their diagrams because they don't have one.
However the 1003 error means that you are trying to dynamically load a VI that is not executable. I would suggest turning highlight execution on and following the code to see what path is sent into the Open VI reference function.
Once you have the VI that is failing to open go manually open it.
Chances are that it is broken, so see why it is broken. If I remember correctly there is a linking issue in that example, so you can open the VI that is broken and hit ctrl-shift-Run Button, and that should relink it all and fix the issue.
If not take a look at this
Why Do I Get Error 1003 From Application Builder When I Try to Build Excel Macro Example.VI?

Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in

The error is actually displayed after each and every Printer VI like SetMagins, PageSize, AddField, CloseReport but NOT after the NewReport.vi Call!

This error means that it can't find the file that you are trying to open a reference to. The file could either be missing or the path to it could be wrong.

I'm getting an "Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Dist Call Create Installer.vi- Build Application.vi." whenever I try to create an installer for my app.

I'm running LabVIEW 6.1 on Win XP Pro, and my application
builds fine, but I can't create an installer.

Dependency Walker will show all of the DLLs NIMSIDistKit.dll is dependent on. There is a tree view in the top but the flat list at the bottom will probably be more helpful. It should show the following dlls (at least on a Windows 2000 system):
ADVAPI32.DLL
GDI32.DLL
KERNEL32.DLL
MSI.DLL
NIMSIDISTKIT.DLL
NTDLL.DLL
OLE32.DLL
RPCRT4.DLL
USER32.DLL
If one of these DLLs is missing it will have an error message displayed beside it. I think all of them are regular Windows DLLs so if you are missing one of them your computer might be having other problems. You could try to reinstall LabVIEW to see if it will install a copy of the dll, but you might have to reinstall Internet Explorer or some portion of the OS to get all
of them.
Probably the most important dll is the MSI.dll. If it is missing or too old it might be the problem. I have version 2.0 but I think version 1.1 of this DLL will also work. If you don't have the dll or the right version run \applibs\distkit\redist\InstMsiW.exe (if on Win NT/2000/XP) or InstMsi.exe (95/98/ME). This will install/update MSI (Microsoft Installer) on your machine.
You can also press F9 to toggle showing just the filename and the whole path to the dlls. Besides NIMSIDistKit.dll all of them should be loading from your system folder. If not you may have multiple copies of that DLL and the correct one is not being found.

Error 42 occurred at Open Application Reference in DynamicDownload.vi

Hi！
I want to create an executable from a VI wich calls a dll created by Simulink and Simulation Interface Toolkit.
After I compile the simulink module with MSVC++ 6.0 in MATLAB,and then use this dll in LabVIEW,
the following message appears:
Error 42 occurred at Open Application Reference in DynamicDownload.vi->SIT_InitEstablishTCPConnection.vi->SIT Initialize.vi->Untitled.vi
Returning to Select Host dialog.
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Generic error.
What should I do to have an executable which works correctly?

I have the same Problem here with the Error 42 on open application reference.
Can someone pleas explain what this error means, and what the reasons are for this error?
I have two exe files, and i am trying to open the application reference of the other exe when i get this error.
First i thought it has something to do with the .ini file settings, which by the way is nowhere explained...
here my entries:
server.tcp.acl="290000000A000000010000001D00000003000000010000002A10000000030000000000010000000000"
server.tcp.enabled=TRUE
server.tcp.port=3360
server.tcp.serviceName=Image Monitoring
server.tcp.access=+*,"+*","127.0.0.1","Localhost"
server.vi.access=+*
server.vi.callsEnabled=TRUE
server.vi.propertiesEnabled=TRUE
server.ole.enabled=TRUE
server.tcp.paranoid=TRUE
server.tcp.servic=My Computer/VI Server
tcpServer.log=TRUE
tcpServer.logPath=c:\TestStand\Tools\Image Monitoring PC\serverlog.txt
server.app.propertiesEnabled=TRUE
if i build a simple exe with call on open applicationr eference it works. but not with my main application,
so this is why i need to know what causes the Generic Error???
Is there a possibility that there have to be certain entries in the ini file of the calling exe? and what would those entries be?????????

LV 8.2.1 Error 66 or 1379 occured at open Application Reference. A LV 8.2.1

Hi,
LV 8.2.1 Error 66 or 1379 occured at open Application Reference. A LV 8.2.1
Using:
Application access an other LV application on an remote PC with Vi-Server Technology. (Based on MS OS Windows XP SP2 with all patches ...)
With LabVIEW 8.2.1 it is not possible (exactly: with one PC it works, with other PCs, (identical regarding configuration of LabVIEW-Components), the described errors occured ...
There is no problem with LV 7.1.1. ( If the VI-Server Configuration of the .exe will be done within the .ini -File...)
The differences between LV 7.1.1 are in the .ini-File of the application regarding the the access-List property.
Error 66 occures if ther is no entry in the access-List property.-> OK.
Error 1379 occures if i will use the copy of the LV .ini-File acl-property with allowed access from all clients (*) or special clients defined with IP-Adress ... -> BUG
The same behaviour is described in 2 threads in the discussion forum ..., but in my application/configuration the workaround acl.configuration: "allow access from all clients" will work only with one PC ?
So what is the solution ?
At this moment i gol back to LV 7.1.1, but this is surely not the solution ....
Thanks for help ....

Hi!
I have also found following discusion in the forum.
But the the problem for Error 1379 lies in LabVIEW 8.2.1 and VI Server.
This is a know Bug. This Bug should be fixed in a future version.
The problem is that the IP address in the could not be resolved into a machine name.
Workaround:
This program works in 7.1 so the only option right now is to use 7.1 instead of 8.2.1.

Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi

I have a .vi that was working fine with Labview 7.0. I now have upgraded to Labview Professional 8.0, and I am trying to build a stand alone executable. When I build the executable, build an installer, and then try to install it on another computer then run it......... I get the "Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi" error. Any ideas?

Hello,
In addition to the LabVIEW Help, there is an Application Note on Distributing Applications with the LabVIEW Application Builder and a knowledge base article What Is The Build Specification Feature In Application Builder? that might be helpful.
Also, here
is a knowledge base article on what Dennis has described and it
provides an example to call an extra Strip Path function. Also, instead
of using a Match Pattern function, you could use the App.Kind property
node (use Open Application Reference, Property Node: Application ->
Kind, and Close Reference) to determine if you are running in a
Run-time system.
Good luck and best regards,

Error 7 occurred at open/create/replace file

Hello,
I have searched the forum and could not find any useful information regarding my problem, so hope you may shed some light. MyVI can create a new csv (text) file by using the time to name the file, so every time the new file will be created with a different name and file path is not a relative path. I can run the VI in both development environment and stand along executable without any problem. But,
One of my colleagues cannot run the executable exe on her machine because Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in xxxx.vi Possible reason: LabVIEW: File not found. The file might be in a different location or deleted. Use the command prompt or the file explorer to verify that the path is correct.
My question is why only she cannot run this exe on her machine. I have checked a few different PC in my office and all of them can run this exe without problem, so I am pretty sure the code is fine.
I have already ask her to do,
Run the executable as administrator
Save the new file to other drives (not C: drive)
but she still cannot run the executable. I dont think this is a premission issue, otherwise, LabVIEW would give a different error, Error 8 I believe.
Both her PC and my PC is running Windows 7 professional 64-bit. The only difference I can see is that she is based in US and I am based Australia. Does anyone have any idea? Please help.
Thanks,
Sherman

I’m not sure but expecting like below,
As you said, your creating file name with Time. Make sure file name is correct and there is no special characters (like, / or : ). If your formatting time to string with “Format Date/Time String.vi” (while creating file name), based on UTC format, string will change.
UTC format specifies if the output string is in Universal Time or in the configured time zone for the computer. If TRUE, date/time string is in Universal Time. The default is FALSE.
Make sure you have access rights to create files into mentioned folder. Try to create new file manually.

Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in NI_Excel.lvclass:Save Report to

I have an application that works on LV60 and when run in LV86 I get the following error:
Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in NI_Excel.lvclassave Report to File.vi->SWF001 Test.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.
=========================
NI-488: I/O operation aborted.
C:\SWF001 IO Files\1_Single.xls
The application does:
New Report.vi
Excel Get Worksheet.vi
Excel Easy Table.vi
Excel Easy Text.vi (4 of them)
Save Report to File.vi
Dispose Report.vi
all in a nice chain (errors and report-in/outs) as is typical
For some reason I'm getting this error. I'm using it with Excel 2003 SP3 and the spreadsheet contains macros (and I get a prompt "should I enable macros:" (I answer yes), that I didn't get with LV60 and the older version of Excel). This is probably not the problem? but deserves mention.
The file does exist on the system (and it appears the application is writing to it successfully - though perhaps truncated as the error indicates- i can't tell for sure).
I can open and save the Excel file independently of LV just fine.
Any clues?
Many thanks! -David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, an Error 6 is a catch all category for all sorts of file IO errors that LV doesn't know how to handle. For example, while it doesn't sound like your problem, trying to access a file that resides on a network drive that isn't currently mounted can generate an Error 6.
Have you tried saving the file to a different location?
If you restart your computer and run the VI does it generate the error the very first time you run it?
Can you post your code - or at least a subset of it that demonstrates the problem?
Is Excel open when you are running the code?
Also, as a test try modifying your code so it has a unique name every time you save it.

This indicates a problem with your code. Since you haven't shown us any code we can' tell you what the problem is. Are you trying to open a file that's open by another application? Are you trying to open a file that's on a network, and the network is temporarily unavailable? You should know what file it's trying to open - after all, you wrote the app, right?
