Error “VI Path is Invalid” or “LabVIEW X.x VI Required” in Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI)

Primary Software: Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
Primary Software Version: 5.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am trying to use the Run LabVIEW VI step in Vision Builder AI. I am able to open a LabVIEW X.x VI, but when I try to run a VI written in a version other than LabVIEW X.x I receive the following error messages: “VI Path is Invalid” or “LabVIEW X.x VI required”. Why do I get these errors?

Solution:
Each version Vision Builder AI was developed using the version of LabVIEW that was most current at that time. Because of this, only VI's saved AND compiled in that version of LabVIEW can be used in the Run LabVIEW step. For example, the Run LabVIEW VI step in VBAI 3.0 works only with VIs saved AND compiled using LabVIEW 8.0.

When I try to open a VI that is saved and compiled in a different version of LabVIEW, I receive the following error:



If I open a VI that was written in LabVIEW 8.2, but saved for previous for LabVIEW 8.0, I receive the following error:



For the second case, the VI MUST be saved and compiled in LabVIEW 8.0. Therefore, even though the VI was saved for previous, it still needs to be saved AND compiled in LabVIEW 8.0.

Please refer to the following table to find out which versions of LabVIEW VI's are compatible with which versions of Vision Builder AI.

Vision Builder AI	LabVIEW
2.6.1	7.1.x
3.0.1	8.0.x
