The topic came up here that LabVIEW should have a way to open VIs from disk without bringing up file dialogs for every missing subVI. The idea on the Idea Exchange is still a good idea, so go give it kudos. But, in the meantime, here's my gift to you for today... The attached "Open VI Without File Dialogs For Missing VIs.vi" will, given a path to a VI, open the FP of that VI. If there are any missing subVIs, those subVIs will be searched for on disk (unless you disable search in Tools>>Options), but if they are not found, no file dialog will appear to prompt you for where to find them. The diagram of this VI is password protected -- even though Scripting is now released, I put this together using features that are private. The VI is saved in LV 8.0... I tested it in LV 8.5 and 8.6, but I think it works all the way back. Open VI Without File Dialogs For Missing VIs.vi

If you start with the frameless version from the classic palette your work is reduced. Ben

You can check out the code here. I have also attached some code to calculate the XMODEM CRCs as well as the normal CRC-16.I have also attached the XMODEM-VISA.llb that I used. I am pretty sure this is the same llb referred to in the link I posted but if I recall I added the support for 1K transfers.
