OPENING VI IN DIFFERENT VERSION

Hi,
I dont understand something about labview. I am trying to open a vi that was written in verion 6. with version 6.1 and it doesnt open up. Shouldnt the new version automatically upgrade the vi written in older version. Why is this incompatibility????
Can someone help me in this regard as if there is any way to open the older version vi's to newer version?
Thanks
SAL

Do you get any kind of error message when you try to open it? The only times I've seen where a new version cannot open an older VI is if the old VI is really old (like 3.x), or the old VI was saved without a diagram. In the first case, you'll get a message stating the old VI is to old to convert directly. In the last case you'll get a message that you can't open it because the VI has no diagram. If the VI has no diagram, there is absolutely no way for a new version to open it. You would have to have the original VI with diagram.

Downloaded different versions none work. will not open vista64

a few months ago fine then I don't know what caused it but now FF won't open. Uninstalled,tried different versions and still. using vista 64. Please help I love FF. I uninstalled any program that I thought had a slight chance of affection FF. no results. Last option is to reformat drive and start over.I miss my fox.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Could there be independent VI paths for different versions of LabVIEW?

Hello,
When jumping between different versions of LabVIEW (6.1, 7.1, 8.5) it is annoying that the current path for one becomes the current path for the other.
If I am working with LV 7.1 in a folder dedicated to 7.1 VI's, and then open LV 8.5, I don't want 8.5 to go to that 7.1 folder by default. Alternately. if I was working in LV 8.5, closed it out, and then I click on a 7.1 VI, I don't want it to open in LV 8.5.
I've tried changing the path options in each version of LabVIEW, but that doesn't seem to help. Is there any way of isolating these folder paths from one another? One of our newer LV guys accidently opened some 7.1 code in 8.5.1 and then saved it. Luckily, I had archived code to return to, but it could have been a disaster.
Thanks for any ideas,
McSynth

You're actually asking two different questions.
The first question has to do with which version of LabVIEW gets launched when you double-click a file. This is an operating system thing. The one that gets launched is the last one that got used. (Your first question will be: can this be changed? Answer: Change the operating system. Or, play around with the registry each time you quit out LabVIEW.)
The second question has to do with search paths. These are independent. However, a VI will contain information about its subVIs in terms of where to find them. This is not a function of LabVIEW, as it is a function of the VI. Thus, it will make no difference which version of LabVIEW you use to open the VI. You can, if you wish, modify the search paths that LabVIEW uses to find VIs for each version of LabVIEW from the Tools->Options menu. However, this will not eliminate the problem, and your best bet is to keep those backups frequent.

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

Accessing an itunes library from different version of itunes

I recently installed yosemite and with that came iTunes 12 since I have an iPhone 6 with 8.1 I will keep iTunes 12. But I have been having major issues with syncing video files to my iphone 4S(ipod touch now) 7.1.2JB. The files never sync or appear to sync and then when I go to view them on the iphone the size shows up as zero. So I feel like if I go back to an older version iTunes all will be right in the world. I just wonder will I have any issues if I have different versions accessing the itunes library files? Planning on using iTunes 11.4 and iTunes 12.
TIA

Open the iTunes preferences, click on the Advanced tab, turn off the option to automatically copy the music to the iTunes Music folder, and then drag the library on the Windows partition to the open iTunes window. This will not transfer playlists and other metadata and will not keep the Mac version of the library in sync.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

Signing a document using a plugin in different versions of Reader

Hi,
I am signing a pdf document with my own .cer file using a plugin. Everything works great in Reader 8, I've got a green check, it specifies that this is a valid signature and I can view the certificate. In Reader 9, however, I receive a huge question mark, but it still specifies that the signature is valid and I can view the certificate. In Reader X, the signature is "UNKOWN".
How do I get rid of the question mark? Even if I delete the vector data for the drawing the question mark in the plugin, a big yellow question mark is still being displayed in Reader 9 and X.
Thank you,
Magda

Again, I know NOTHING about your plugin, your code, the certificate in question, etc.
The ONLY WAY to get you an answer is for you to provide our support staff with the PDF in question, at least as a starting point. Please open a support contract.

Firefox Sync on same computer with different versions of Firefox

Hi,
I know how to use Sync on two different computers and a mobile device, but how can I Sync two or more different versions of Firefox (Nightly, Beta, Aurora, Release Candidate)? I can't get the code from the other computer/firefox because I can only have one version of Firefox open at the same time. I tried it. This is my setup. I have a different Profile for each version of Firefox I have. I also have each version of Firefox installed in a different directory, for example:
Nightly - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\
Aurora - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Aurora\
Beta - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Beta\
Release Candidate - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Release Candidate\
and my Profiles are in my
Nightly - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Nightly\
Aurora - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Aurora\
Beta - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Beta\
Release Candidate - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Release Candidate\
and I run Firefox with the following command (Properties/Target)
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Nightly"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Aurora"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Beta"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Release Candidate"
Can anyone help me so that I can Sync all the accounts (basically, just the bookmarks), so I will have access to all my bookmarks, instead of going to the firefox version I saved it in? I would appreciate any and all assistance concerning this matter.
Thank You.

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously, but do not use -no-remote with the default browser and the default profile.

Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

How to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) ?

Hi,
    System Specification :
    -XP with SP3
    -MS Office 2003
    -Flash V.10
    -Xcelsius Engage 2008 ( 5.3.0.0 )
    -Xcelsius Build number 12,3,0,670
   When I export output in swf format then xcelsius generating swf file of version 9. I want to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) . I tried to install older versions of flash to do this but I am not able to open xcelsius in older version. I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
Is there any way to export swf files in different versions?
Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.

Adobe media encoder components have different versions error CS5 (32 bit)

I updated the CS5 suite the other day and all the updates installed fine, except adobe media encoder which said "done with errors" (no indication of what the errors were mind you).
Now, when I open Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) it pops up saying "Adobe Media Encoder components have different versions. Please update Adobe Media Encoder."
This is the 32 bit v of CS5 (so no Premiere or AE) but Adobe Media Encoder is still used to encode flv etc for the web (Flash and Dreamweaver).
The CS4 suite version of Adobe Media Encoder (that does have Premiere and AE) works the same as always. Has anyone else noticed this?

This was a problem with the installer.
We have updated and posted a new version to Adobe.com.
If you still get error on launch, you can download the new patch and install it to fix this issue:
1.       Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4869
2.       Download the patch and save it on your Hard drive.
3.       Unzip the file.
After unzipping the file, you should end up with one installer and two folders:
4.       Dbl-click on “AdobePatchInstaller.exe”.
This will over write the previous 5.01 patch you installed with new one.
Since we didn't actually change the files inside the patch, but basically fixed the installer, this update has the same update number 5.0.1.
We have also updated the update manager and future automated updates won't have this issue.

Different versions of a program, subvies location

Hello everybody,
I have problem when I try to keep two different versions of a proyect in my PC. I have developped a project with one main VI and severals subVIs. This project is working properly but now I want to make some modifications. Then I have created another folder with a copy of this program (kind of security copy). However, when I open the new version, there are conflicts with the subvis of both versions(the old one and the new one). And I wouldn't like to make some changes and to modify the security version and every time I open one version have to be resolving all the conflicts either.
Do you know any way to avoid this problem?
Thank you!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you are not using revision control software, a simple trick to store a "backup" copy is to zip the entire folder that contains your project. Especially if all your files reside within the folder.

Different versions of Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility (CS5 and CS5.5)

Our marketing team has two different versions of Adobe Creative Suite (CS5 and CS5.5). We can save the CS5.5 down to an IDML document so users with CS5 can open/manipulate the file but it reduces the file size significantly. What I do not know is if this saving down process reduces the quality of the file?? I am relatively inexperienced with these programs as I am self-taught. Thanks for your help!

IDML is good for repairing files.
But IDML is not good to be used as exchange in a workflow because every export of IDML can change things in an unexpected way. So I would strongly recommend that everyone in the department involved in the workflow uses the very same version, anything else will let you struggle in a later point of time. When I have to exchange files with a client I use always their versions and avoid IDML in exchanging files in any case possible.
Between CS5.0 and 5.5 are also several changes possible, because some bugs related to the text engine became fixed. E.g. in CS5 if you had an automatic TOC or cross reference in a text frame with 1 or 3 round corners and 3 or 1 normal corners, automatic number got shuffled in that frame, like page 345 became 543. When this was fixed some changes in the text engine have been done.

Hyperlink for an Object need to be open in a different window

Hi Guyz,
I have a Crystal Report which has few sub reports. In one of the Sub Report I have created a Hyperlink for an object using the formula Editor. This report is viewed from a different Portal with the help of ASP Pages. For some reason when I run the report and click on the Hyperlink, it is opening in the same window.
I want the report to be opened in a different window. Following is the formula I am using as a Hyperlink in formula Editor.
imgAddress = "http://<server>:8080/index.jsp?action=filter&username=anonymous&password=1&"
imgAddress = imgAddress + "&drawer=Invoices&folder=" + "&tab=" + trim({stp_AC290;1.INVOICE})
In the ASP page i am using a DHTML Viewer. Sometimes when I am using ActiveXviewer it is opening as expected.
crystal Reports version: Crystal Reports 2008
BO - BOXI 3.1
Plz help me out!!

same as your other post:
moved to .NET Developer forum.
It appears you are using ASP, it's no longer supported in CR 2008 but can you clarify which SDK you are using?
Thank you
