Issue Details

I'm getting error 1430 when trying to launch LabVIEW Bookmark Manager in a specific project. How can I fix it?

Error 1430 ocurred at Compare Two Paths.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: (HEX 0596) the path is empty or relative. You must use an absolute path.

 

Solution

This error has been seen when some general .NET framework assemblies are included as part of a LabVIEW project under the My Computer node, so LabVIEW may think they are part of the source code and fails to provide an absolute path as these are usually referenced by name. Some of the cases included mscorlib.dll and system.dll, core components of Microsoft .NET Framework.

If you have manually included any system .NET DLLs under My Computer, please right-click them >> Remove from Project, this will move them back into Dependencies and should fix this error.

Additional Information

If you are certain that your workflow needs your system .NET Framework DLLs as part of the LabVIEW project, you may be able to work around this error by including these INI tokens in your LabVIEW INI file:

BookmarkManager.ShowVILIB=TRUE
BookmarkManager.ShowRESOURCE=TRUE
