I have just upgraded from Labview 2011 to the 2012 version. I have placed my custom library files in the "user.lib" directory and that still works well. But we also have a ".dll" file supplied by the maker of our datalogger which Labview 2012 cannot seem to find. Under 2011 I placed it in the same directory as the VI that uses it and all was well. I've done the same thing under 2012 when I try to load my VI I get the message "the program can't start because slxcom.dll is missing from your computer."
I can think of 2 options. First is that Labview 2012 has changed where it looks for dll's. The second is that this dll may not be compatible. I believe it was generated for use under Labview 2007. It is a very simple thing, just opening a port (ethernet connection direct to instrument) to the instrument and providing read and write functions.
Any help much appreciated.
