NI does not actively maintain this document.

This content provides support for older products and technology, so you may notice outdated links or obsolete information about operating systems or other relevant products.

All of the following fixes have been implemented in LabVIEW 2009 SP1.  If you have upgraded to LabVIEW 2009 SP1, you do not need to install this patch.  If you have not installed LabVIEW 2009 SP1 then it is strongly recommended that you install this patch.

The LabVIEW 2009 f3 patch includes all of the fixes of the LabVIEW 2009 f2 patch.  Additionally it resolves the following issues:

IDDescription
184077 and 199423In rare cases a front panel object can become corrupt.  After the corruption occurs, LabVIEW is unable to load the VI and will display LabVIEW load error code 3 as described in KnowledgeBase 520GHNKU: LabVIEW Load Error Code 3: Could Not Load Front Panel in the Development Environment. This patch resolves two distinct causes of this error.
175141 and 197530After building applications, DLLs, or source distributions out of VIs containing MathScript Nodes, the VIs might become broken. The VIs error list will display MathScript Node failed to compile. This patch resolves two distinct causes of this error.

ID 175141 and 197530 require additional steps after installing this update if your system has been affected. With LabVIEW closed, navigate to ..Documents\LabVIEW Data\InstCache\9.0 and delete the contents of the folder. These files are generated when LabVIEW compiles MathScript Nodes. To check if you have corrupt instantiation VIs in your InstCache folder, please see KnowledgeBase 553C13WI: Detecting Corrupt Instantiation VIs and MatchScript Node Failure To Compare Errors in LabVIEW 2009
