NI-SWITCH Windows symbols are exported without ordinalsThe exported symbols of the niswitch.lib library are exported only by name, not by ordinal. As a result, any libraries built against an older version's import library (that use /delayload) use the wrong symbols because the ordinals have now changed.
Workaround: Rebuild any impacted library with the version of NI-SWITCH being used or load symbols by name instead of ordinal.

Opening an NI Switch Executive session crashes the application when not using LabVIEWOpening a NI Switch
Executive session to an NI-SWITCH instrument (physical or simulated) causes an
exception with the description "labviewv.lib was not called from a LabVIEW process",
unless calling from the LabVIEW environment or with the LabVIEW Runtime
Engine loaded into the process. Workaround: Load the LabVIEW Runtime Engine into the process prior to opening an NI Switch Executive session. |
