.NET 4 dll not loaded LabVIEW2012

[bim4]

Hi,

I'm trying to start an exe built form LabVIEW2012 but when starting it it prompts for several dlls?

I observe that even System.Windows.Forms.dll is requested when launching the exe.

And actually when I point a dll from "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\System.Windows.Forms.dll" it’s loaded properly but when I try "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\System.Windows.Forms.dll" instead I get the same error message than with “Renci.SshNet.dll” (can't load...).

It seems that “Renci.SshNet.dll” requires .NET 4.

I tried forcing v4 using the advices here : http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/configuring_clr_version/

But no change.

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me to workaround this blocking issue.

BR,

Bim

Dumb question but presumably you created a config file named after your executable, not LabVIEW.exe? The instructions you mention describe how to enable CLR 4 for the development environment but the same process applies to exes you create, just a different executable name.

Hi,

This is it! I've just added the .config file with the name of my new exe and all DLLs are loaded properly.

Thank you very much for this simple but fruitful feedback!
