Replacing programmatically VI's

Question

Until now we supplied a library called AqDx.llb which contains a lot of VI's with AqDx prefix in the VI's name, like AqDx Init.vi, AqDx Close.vi etc.
Now we want to supply a new generation of the library who was renamed to AqD1.llb and with AqD1 as prefix of VI's name, AqD1 Init.vi, AqD1 Close.vi etc.
It is possible under LabVIEW to replace programmatically in a VI all sub-VI's of the AqDx.llb library by the corresponding VI's of the AqD1.llb library ?
(AqDx::AqDx Close.vi --> AqD1::AqD1 Close.vi)
Briefly, we want to supply a migration tool to our custumer.
Thanks a lot in advance !

Answer 1

In the past this was a pain to do, you had to do it manualy.
Now checkout the undocumented LabVIEW VI Scripting.I made an simple experiment:
If you stick to documented LabVIEW, you can rename all old vi's to the new name ( using save instrument invoke node).
Then unload all callers and old from memory.
file copy then new vi's over the renamed old vi's.
Reload everything, now with the new vi's, and save.
