C:\NIFPGA\programs\Xilinx11_5 error

I am trying to recompile an FPGA VI that I had developed in LV 2009 in LV 2010 SP1.

It's been a while so my recollection on how to do that is a bit fuzzy, but I kind of figured out that things have changed between the two versions.

if I select my FPGA VI, I can't right click and choose "compile" anymore, but instead there is a new item in the "Build Specifications" list corresponding to my VI. When I right-click it, I can choose to "Build" it. Which is what I did and things got started smoothly until the compilation aborted with the following message:

 

The compile server does not have any workers available that can do a Xilinx 10.1 compilation.

* You may not have the correct compilation tools installed.
* The local compile worker may be configured for a different compile server.
* The local compile worker may be in an error state.

Error -123002 occurred at niFpgaCompileFarm_OpenJob.vi

Possible reason(s):

NI-Farm:  No worker has registered the given capability name.


Complete call chain:
     niFpgaCompileFarm_OpenJob.vi
     niFpgaCompileWorker_OpenJob.vi

I checked what I had installed as far as FPGA tools, and looking into my NI Program Start folder, I found the FPGA subfolder and a "FPGA Compile Worker". I tried to launch it but here is the error it resulted in:

Since the mentioned folder exists, I supposed that it was missing some files. So I reinstalled the whole FPGA module, Server Farm, etc from my installation DVD, rebooted, restarted and ended up exactly in the same situation (I hate it when a cryptic message forces me to assume that I did something stupid when I pretty much know that I did not!).

 

What gives?

OK, I just discovered after some randomly directed research that this version of the Xilinx compiler does not support the FPGA contained in the hardware I was targeting (thanks for the cryptic error message!)... I need to find out uninstall the the Xilinx compiler, how to install the old one, and how to tell LV to use it.

I am just wondering what people who have two types of hardware do?
