Updated Oct 29, 2025

Solution

This is a known issue with the Sound & Vibration Toolkit and is seen from LabVIEW 2023Q3 onwards.  Order Analysis VIs are broken due to a missing dependency in LVASPT_TFS.dll.  Apply the following workaround:

  1. For LabVIEW 32-bit, copy LVASPT_TFA.dll from C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\aspt32\1\resource to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
  2. For LabVIEW 64-bit, copy LVASPT_TFA.dll from C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons\aspt64\1\resource to C:\Windows\System32
  3. Relaunch LabVIEW

Additional Information

The timeline for an official fix is not known at this time.
