LabVIEW 2017 does not open *.vi-File from LabVIEW 2016


On my Windows 10 PC LabVIEW 2017 is installed. A file I created in LabVIEW 2016 at my Uni will not be opened. When I doubleklick, LabVIEW starts normally, but only as if I had opened it without any file. If I start LabVIEW normally and try to open the file out of the program, nothing will happen, not even an error will occur. Why is this?

Note: Right now I am using LabVIEW 2017 in Evaluation-Mode.


Solution

  • I found the reason... The file was saved in a subfolder of a folder which name contained a right arrow (→) which is not supported by LabVIEW obviousely...
