Solution
This behavior could occur when multiple versions of LabVIEW Runtime are installed on the computer, and the latest version of those is missing necessary components for the Vision Image Display. Try either of the following:
- If you have the following folder in one of the old versions of the LabVIEW Runtime, where ---- is the version of LabVIEW Runtime installed, copy it to the latest version.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\----\PlugInControls
So, for example, if you have LabVIEW Runtime 2019 and 2020, installed, and you can find the folder at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2019\PlugInControls, copy it to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2020
- When building the executable, disallow newer versions of LabVIEW Runtime to run the program. Under Advanced in the EXE build settings, uncheck Allow future versions of the LabVIEW Runtime to run this application.
This issue could also occur if there is a software corruption in the support files used by the Image Display indicator. To fix it:
- Open NI Package Manager from the Start Menu.
- Go to the Installed tab.
- Search for and check the box next to the packages Vision Common Resources and Vision Development Module Runtime.
- Click Repair and continue through the prompts.
