Converting Data After Upgrading From VI Logger 1.0 To 2.0 Causes VI Logger To Shut Down.

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>VI Logger
Primary Software Version: 2.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx

Problem:
I updated from VI Logger 1.0 to VI Logger 2.0. When I try to open a VI Logger Task it tells me that I need to convert data from previous versions.

After I click 'Convert' it hangs for a few seconds and then VI Logger shuts down. If I reopen VI Logger I experience the same problem.

Solution:
When you update MAX or VI Logger (which is tightly integrated with MAX), sometimes the configuration data gets corrupted.

If you absolutely need to save the current MAX configuration you can try exporting it before you make the following changes.

Now, go ahead and rename the 'data' folder you find at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX. You can rename it to 'data2'.

You could also rename the 'data' folder at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\VI Logger.

MAX will loose all its data configuration when you do this. When you open MAX after you make the changes it will take longer than usual to open. It will also take longer than usual to create your first VI Logger Task.

If you do not need any information about the previous configuration for MAX and the old data for VI Logger you can go ahead and delete the 'data2' directories.
