Can´t connect shared variable to OPC server in LV 8.2

Hi

I am having problems connecting shared variables to an OPC server from the National Intruments Lookout protocol drivers. I have managed to connect to the server using the Server Explorer 2.4.1.

1. Once in LV I open a new project and create a new IO library and choose the "National instruments.OPCLookoutDrivers"
2. I create a new shared variable Y0 within the library containing the OPC driver with the following path "My Computer\DL05.lvlib\OPC1\Lookout Protocol Drivers\DL1\Y0-Y1777". I have also tried just leaving the Y0 in the path instead of Y0-Y1777. By the way it is a boolean
3. I drag and drop the variable to a blank diagram and execute a small vi where I eaither try to read or write to the variable and get the following message: "Error -1950679037 occurred at ni_tagger_lv_Write".

I will appreciate any help. I am using the Industrial Automation OPC servers ver.5.1 build 4

thanks

Ok, I finally got it. Just missing an update for the NI OPC servers which can be found at http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/6D13C35CC7DB108B862570EE0052B484?opendocument&Submitted&node=132060_US%20

After updating everything worked seamlessly.
