Generating LabVIEW Code from Sound and Vibration Assistant Reports Missing Sound and Vibration VIs

Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Sound and Vibration Toolset
Primary Software Version: 5.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
When I am generating LabVIEW code from Sound and Vibration Assistant through Tools » Generate Code » LabVIEW Diagram, an error message reports that the Sound and Vibration VIs are missing.

Sound and Vibration Assistant generates code, by default, in the last version of LabVIEW that was launched.  This can cause a problem if the Sound and Vibration Toolkit / Measurement Suite VIs are not installed to the last launched version of LabVIEW.

Solution:
There are a couple situations where this will happen:

1. The Sound and Vibration Toolkit / Measurement Suite was installed before LabVIEW was installed.
You can go to Control Panel » Add / Remove Programs » National Instruments Software » Sound and Vibration Toolkit / Measurement Suite and modify the installation.  Once you do that, the Sound and Vibration VIs will be installed to the version of LabVIEW you selected.

2. Multiple versions of LabVIEW installed to one machine and the last launched version of LabVIEW does not have Sound and Vibration VIs.
Sound and Vibration Toolkit / Measurement Suite can only be installed to one version of LabVIEW.  To check what version of LabVIEW the Sound and Vibration VIs are installed you can go to the Measurement and Automation Explorer.  In the Software section a Sound and Vibration entry will be listed under the LabVIEW version that contains the VIs.

To generate code to the version of LabVIEW that the Sound and Vibration VIs are installed to:
  1. Save the project in the Sound and Vibration Assistant
  2. Close the Sound and Vibration Assistant
  3. Close LabVIEW
  4. Open the version of LabVIEW that contains the Sound and Vibration VIs
  5. Open the Sound and Vibration Assistant project
  6. Click on Tools » Generate Code » LabVIEW Diagram
Please note, if you are using Windows Vista and have LabVIEW 8.5 installed, LabVIEW 8.5 will always get called during code generation regardless of what version of LabVIEW was last launched.  To enable another version of LabVIEW as the last launched version, please follow the Knowledgebase article that is listed below.
