Issue Details

When I try to built an application developed on LabWindows™/CVI™, the application fails to load with message: “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)"
 

Solution

This is a general error that can be caused in applications where you are attempting to call DLLs or functions from third-party drivers that do not match with the version of the driver that is installed on your computer or that is being called in the code. 

This may typically happen whenever the application is moved from one computer to another or when there are software upgrades on your computer. This would result in the versions of the third-party drivers and DLLs not matching.  

You can solve this error by calling the correct DLLs from the code according to the third-party driver installed, or by installing the same version of the drivers where the application was developed.
