Error ?2147221164 Occurred at Class Not Registered in New Report.vi
Primary Software: LabVIEW Run-Time Engine
Primary Software Version: 6.0.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I created an application that uses the Report Generation VIs that ship with LabVIEW. I then installed the executable and LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.0.2 using the Administrator (local) account on a Windows NT machine. However, when a user other than the Administrator logged in, the Report Generation VIs returned the following error message when they attempted to print:
"Error ?2147221164 occurred at Class not registered in New Report.vi"
If I install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine while logged in on this user account, the printing works well. It seems as though I must install the Run-Time Engine on each user account to use the Report Generation VIs. How can I make it work for any user without installing the Run-Time Engine on each account?
Solution: You must register the nireports.dll with the operating system:
- Login as a non-Administrator.
- Locate the nireports.dll file. It is typically located in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\NI-Reports directory. However, you may have to do a search on your hard drive to locate this file.
- Go to Start » Run and type regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\NI-Reports\nireports.dll".
- Click the OK button.
A small dialog box should pop-up, indicating that the DLL was properly registered with Windows. The operating system will give permission to all standard users to access the file.
