I editted the tool to ignore error 1 and 43 as I had the same errors as above. My laptop has had a few knocks and as a result there are some VIs that are bad. I added an indicator to show the last VI the tool tried to edit and found the VI that kicked the program out was the same error that the NI mass compiler says is bad. So I'd suggest a tool edit to filter out 1, 43 and 4001 (as it exists now)

I'd post my edits but LV is now going through a mass compile now (lots of Tk's and modules so it is going to take a good while)

HELP!

I have been using LV 8.0 since the day it was downloadable, and although there are bugs, it has been functioning, until today. When I go into MAX I have the following lines; Data Neighbor hood, Device inerfaces, Scales, Software and remote systems, with nothing under any of them. I read some post at NI boards with various suggestions, tried all, none worked. Called NI and they sent me an app called msiblast.exe which should have allowed me to remove everthing NI. It did not however remove LabView RuntimeEngine 7.1.1. it reported it could not remove (I am paraphrasing). Removed all reference to NI IN regestry, but still runtime 7.1.1 showed up in msiblast, but not add remove programs. Installed Labview 8.0 and device drivers, and to my suprise nothing changed in MAX. Any ideas? NI and myself are all out of them.

Sounds like a corrupted data dir, one trick i have always found to work quite well, is to shutdown max, then goto <NI install path>/MAX/Data and delete everything in it. (move it, as it does contain config info) Restart MAX and it will regenerate the files needed.

Hope that helps
