Issue Details

I am using the "Read Key" VI within LabVIEW to read a .ini configuration file. When I attempt to read a specific key or section, I receive the following error:
Error 19 Occurred at Read Key (I32).vi
Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: (Hex 0x13) Configuration type invalid.
=========================
Board not present.

Note that the datatype within the brackets may change depending on the polymorphic instance of Read Key used.

Solution

This error occurs because the key exists within the configuration file but is not a compatible datatype to be converted, such as attempting to read a non-numeric string as a numeric datatype.

To solve this, ensure that the polymorphic instance for "Read Key.vi" is correct for the data expected to be found at the key.
