VI isn't a valid labview file

Hello,
i had a computer crash yesterday evening during the development of a VI.
Now, i can't open the VI any more. Labview generates folllowing error :
LabView : End of File (EOF) found. The file "ChangeDevice.vi" isn't a valid Labview File.
The file seems to be corrupt. Somebody knows if i can recover the file ?
Thanks for help

Woully,
Sorry - I can't help you. But - I wanted to add that the same thing happened to me last month
when the computer hung when I turned a PXI chasis back on while the PC was running. I know
now that is not the right sequence. Anyway - my "myname.vi" VI continuously prompts me to
find "myname.vi" when I open it. I was lucky and had a backup copy from the day before,
so lost only one day's work.
I downloaded some file recovery utilities and went searching for left over file pieces - but found
none. This suggests to me that LabView overwrites the existing file rather than making a new
file then renaming the old - as I often do when developing robust file handling protocals.
I am using LV 7.1.1

Keep getting "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file"

ugh i feel so bad cause i keep posting questions and it seems like i'm not doing anywork. let me start of by saying i spent the last 3 hours searching the forum and google and continually testing and nothing works
basically i used lv's built in application builder to build a .exe file so i can run the program from any computer. so i successfully compile, install lv 8.0 (was compiled on 8.0) RTE onto computer and try to run and keeps giving me "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file". when i create the exec, lvanlys.dll is automatically put in a support folder so i don't know what the problem is
i've tried moving around lvanlys.dll to diff directories including RTE, adding missing files as dynamic VIs, adding separate files into project instead of lib, and combinations of them none work. reinstalled RTE. one build the errors i got was "to fix this error must use full development version". i don't really understand what that means...i have to install the entire VI instead of just the RTE?
another thing, the computer that this doesn't work on originally had 6.1 installed. i just installed the 8.0 RTE engine over it. i have tried replacing lvanlys.dll and didn't work. tested with couple other computers without 6.1 and it worked fine. computer i am on now has 6.1 and 8.0 and it works fine. so i'm stumped
//EDIT: oh i forgot, a lot of threads say "create a installer". is that just using the application builder builtin to create an exec or what exactly does it mean?

Some questions:
Did you install only the 24MB runtime engine of the 87MB version of RTE 8.0? You need to install the big thing.
Is it possible you are including the 6.1 version of lvanlys.dll instead of 8.0?
In 8.0, Builing an executable and creating an installer is both done on a LabVIEW project.
Building the executable does just that.
If you built an installer, you package everything up for distribution, optionally include the RTE and other support files, etc. Later running the installer, will put everything in its right location, e.g. the executable in the "program files" hierarchy, a shortcut in the start menu, etc.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Installer 8.0 complains about nonexistent files being "not valid LabVIEW files"

When running the installer, two messages pop up in sequence:
1. "The file ...\/undo is not a valid LabVIEW file."
2. "The file ...\/qnm is not a valid LabVIEW file."
Both files do not exist.
Additionally, after clicking "OK", each time the application being installed launches and has to be quit before the installer proceeds.
Any hints are welcome!
Cheers,
Harald

I believe that the actual Labview complaint is that the files "/undo" and "/qnm" are not valid Labview files. (the "V" is actually part of the path, i.e., ...\ /undo without the space between \ and /. In any case, I experienced the same difficulties (including launching ofthe application twice during installation) and pursued it (because this makes for a very unprofessional looking installer to be distributing to my clients). I discovered that, in my case, the error was happening when I did a build which placed the installer in a path that looked like this:
...\xxxx Installer\Volume...
where "xxxx" is the name of my application (i.e., xxxx.exe). When I either changed the build path for the installer to be just:
...\Volume... (i.e., eliminated the subdirectory bearing the name of the application)
or simply removed the "Volume" folder from that path and placed it elsewhere (like on the desktop - again so that the "Volume" folder was not preceeded in the path by a folder bearing the name of the installer) before launching the installer, the errors previously encountered during installation, vanished.

VI not a resource file. Not a valid labview file

I had the computer freeze while working on the VI. Actually, it occurred when I wanted to back up the source code.
The project opens up,. but I get the message in the attached image (below) when trying to open the VI.
How do I recover this file? Is there a backup of all files hidden somewhere?

Thanks smercurio,
Yes, I did (still do) have the Auto-Save feature active. It is set to save every 15 min or every time it is run. I checked the LV Data folder. It's not there.
I found something in the KnowledgeBase which is not good news http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A154F4BFC8FD9A07862572110073E0B2
Hopefully, there is a way to undelete any backup.. It didn't ask to recover any files when I started LV.
"It does this by saving open files at specified intervals and in the event of an irregular shutdown or system faluire, the 'Select Files to Recover' window pops up to display recoverable files the next time LabVIEW is launched. "

Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
"Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
Please help me out!

Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

Hi there,
As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best,
Just a regular apple user
PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification

Hi everyone,
I am new in oracle's world, and I've been working with an export from a sun platform, and I try to import to a windows platform. I've been receiving this message error
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
Please, help me I have to finish with that today..
Thanks and have a nice New Year

thanks for your answer.
sorry, but I don't have all exact information, because that export is comming from a client, and I don't know all information. I only know that the platform is sun.
I received the file via an usb memory, directly from the source.
I've been read that if you make an export in sun platform and it isn't as binary when you transfer it to a windows platform, it will be corrupt.
Could you confirm me that?

Rt6_redirect: source isn't a valid nexthop for redirect target

I create a ipv6 tunnel for my ipv4 network, so I can visit ipv6 websites, such as http://ipv6.google.com, like this:
# ip tunnel add sit1 mode sit remote $ISATAP_SERVER local $LOCAL_IP ttl 64
# ip link set dev sit1 up
# ip addr add 2001:da8:8000:d010:0:5efe:$LOCAL_IP/64 dev sit1
# ip -6 route add default dev sit1 metric 1
where $ISATAP_SERVER is the ip address of the remote server, and $LOCAL_IP is my ipv4 address.
This is the route info for ipv6:
$ ip -6 route
2001:da8:8000:d010::/64 via :: dev sit1 proto kernel metric 256
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256
fe80::/64 via :: dev sit1 proto kernel metric 256
default dev sit1 metric 1
Now I can visit ipv6 websites, and everything seems OK.
But when I check the log file /var/log/everything.log, I get much information like this:
Mar 4 19:46:29 localhost kernel: [ 8073.183872] rt6_redirect: source isn't a valid nexthop for redirect target
It seems there‘s something wrong with the route for ipv6, but I can't figure it out.
I've googled this for a long time, but many is about the source file route.c, nothing helpful.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks cor-el, but the problem is solved, as far as the redirect issue.
Maybe I should have started a new topic.....maybe I will....
I just thought since the issue I was having because I had reset the referrer header, was explained through this thread, it would be easier than explaining it again in a new topic.
At least 1 of those programs I listed, as best I can understand, allows for customized referrer header, site by site. I just can't understand the other one though.
But you know what, I think I'll just start a new topic, and ask if anyone has experience with these, or can explain the one I can't understand.
Thanks again :-)

Update vault path gives "Not a valid vault file".

Recently i've copied my vault file(s) to a larger disk.When trying to update the vault path (selecting gear below vaults) it gives me an error that it is not a valid vault file.
The disks are both formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) and I received no error's during the copying.
I know I could create a new vault file. But it should work. What Could I do to fix this?
Thanks if you can help.

It seems your VI has been corrupted. This may have been a LabVIEW error, or a disk file I/O error. You will need to revert to a backup. You should also do a disk scan to rule out any problems with the disk.

Valid Exported File

I am trying to import a home video that I created into iTunes but I keep getting the error message "cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file"
I used Windows Movie Maker to create the video.
Thanks for any suggestions you can send my way.
Cheers

I opened the sample pic in 12 Mac and Windows programs and uploaded it to Flickr and Zenfolio, and none complained (see the list below). I looked at the file with Exiftool and added some sample metadata -- Exiftool usually issues a warning if the file format isn't strictly standards-conforming.
So this may be a case where the file produced by LR strictly conforms to industry standards but has an internal layout that isn't typically used, tripping up software that doesn't correctly implement the standards. This has happened at least once before in previous releases of LR, and Adobe changed LR to avoid the problem.   I see hints of that possibility in the Exiftool dump -- JPEGs produced by LR CC have 102 unused bytes after the TIFF header, whereas typical JPEGs don't have those unused bytes.
You can test this hypothesis very quickly: Open the sample pic in Photoshop CC (or another editor if you don't have Photoshop) and save it out with Save As at the same high quality. (Other programs generally won't write those unused header bytes.)   Ask your clients to try uploading that version.
Also, ask your clients for the exact error message (letter for letter) and which software is powering their Web sites.   That could give better clues.

XML Publisher question - Not generating a valid XML file

I am working through an Oracle document that walks you through creating an XML Pub report. I am using HCM 8.9, Tools 8.49.15 and it has XML Pub installed and I have the Microsoft plug-in installed
I have created a query and have downloaded an rtf template and now am on a page where you enter your data source and then click ‘Generate’ for the sample data file. I did it and it created ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ which is created from a PS Query. However if I click on ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ it generates a blocky text file that is not an XML file and I can’t go any further.
Do you know why it’s not generating a valid XML file when I click on 'generate'?
Thanks

You mean to say that you create a new data source by specifying Data Source Type as 'PS Query' and Data Source ID as your query name, you are not able to generate a valid XML file (by clicking on Generate link).
did you cross check your query by running it?
On field change of Generate link, PeopleSoft uses PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER and PSXP_XMLGEN app packagaes and query objects to create the file
It should work if you query is valid..

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

I have an older version of itunes on my L drive. Everytime I try to download the newest version I get the error itunes.resources is not a valid short file name. Now I obtained an iphone and cannot sync the phone to my account because it wants me to upda

I have an older version of itunes on a separate drive. Everytime that there has been an update to itunes it will not let me update. Now I purchased an iphone and I hooked the phone up to the computer and it tells me I need to install the latest version of itunes. I downloaded to try it, but I keep getting an error message that says itunes.Resources is not a valid short file name. What can I do from here?

That is a new one on me.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
