flexpro.tlb not loaded

[Peter Emmenegger]

I’ve successfully linked and used the full api. However, when opening the LabVIEW application again the tlb needs to be relinked. Is there a way to register the tlb?

Using regasm.exe gives the following error:

 

C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319>regasm.exe “C:Program FilesWeisangFlexPro 12flexpro.tlb”

Microsoft .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility version 4.8.3752.0

for Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.8.3752.0

RegAsm : error RA0000 : Failed to load ‘C:Program FilesWeisangFlexPro 12flexpro.tlb’ because it is not a valid .NET assembly

 

The cmd prompt was run in admin mode.

 

Suggestions are appreciated.

Regasm.exe (Assembly Registration Tool) is used to register the contents of a .NET assembly, not to register an arbitrary type library.

When you use the Automation API e.g. in a C# program, you add the link to the FlexPro.tlb as a reference. How LabVIEW handles the necessary metadata to access COM objects does not fall into the scope of FlexPro.
