Mass Compile has caused load issues

[Ozfarmboy]

Hello,

Software used: LabVIEW 2014 SP1 64-bit 14.0.1f3

OS: Windows 7 Professional

I thought it would be a clever idea to do a mass compile yesterday.  I selected the root drive, kicked it off and then walked away.

When I returned the computer had reset itself which seemed a bit odd.

Anyway, now when I open up the LabVIEW project, and open the top level VI, it cannot find <vi.lib>:Utility\miscctls.llb\LVBoundsTypeDef.ctl.

I traverse to the above directory, and can see miscctls.llb is there (and the date of the file has changed to approximately when I ran the mass compile), but when I select it I get the following error:

"An error occurred while listing the contents of C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\vi.lib\Utility\miscctls.llb"

So, I went to Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> National Instruments Software, and repaired LabVIEW 2014 SP1 64-bit.

After rebooting the PC, I still see th same issue. 😞 

Is there a way to fix this short of doing a complete re-install?

Thanks

I think you just need to do a reinstall.

I don't know why you'd think it would be a good idea to do a mass compile on VI's in the LabVIEW directory.  They would already be compiled for the version of LabVIEW they were installed as a part of.

Save mass compile when you are updating your own files, or 3rd party libraries.

Sorry, I meant I did a mass compile of the root directory of my LabVIEW project. 

Not the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014 directory

There is no logical reason why mass compiling your own project directory would have done anything to corrupt files within LabVIEW's vi.lib directory.
