    I'm trying to diff a VI located on a cRIO unit, but I'm getting an error about the vldiff.ini file not being found.

    A few things to note:
    - the lvdiff.vi is being run on the cRIO unit, not as expected on the host
    - the lvdiff.ini is being written to the host's disk, but lvdiff.vi looks for it on the cRIO disk

    Would it be possible to execute lvdiff.vi on the host, even though the vi to diff is configured to run on the cRIO RT (or FPGA) target?

    Thanks,
    Jacob Dall

      Hi, Jacob.

      As far as I know, CompactRIO is a brand new area for lvdiff.  Sorry to hear that the tool is not quite working as expected yet.

      I'm not sure how the VI got set to run on cRIO; I don't have any targets set up on my system other than the desktop.

      Could I have you try modifying the "Execution" pane of lvdiff's VI Properties and change the  Preferred Execution System from "same as caller" to "user interface?"  Also, is the only copy of lvdiff.vi the one on your PC?
