Hi,

I am trying to migrate from Igor 6 to Igor 8, and I need to recompile some XOPs to do that.
The XOP was written for 32-bit hardware in Igor 6, now it will be used in Igor 8 (32-bit). 


According to the manual, I should first update it using XOPToolkit7, then XOPToolkit8.
I did it by first copying the XOP folder (A) to XOPToolkit7 folder, then use the exp file "Create New XOP Project" to copy (A) to (B). Here I used Igor 8 to open this experiment file.

Then, I compile the file normally. Afterwards, I copy the folder (B) to XOPToolkit8. Using the experiment file of the same name "Create New XOP Project", I created a copied (B) to (C). Then I compiled (C) normally. 

However, on trying, the XOP I obtained in folder (C) shows the same error in title.

Any help will be appreciated.

Check your XOPMain function. It may be doing a test on the Igor version and returning XOP_OBSOLETE.

Check your XOPI 1100 resource. See "The XOPI 1100 Resource" in Chapter 4 of the XOP Toolkit 8 manual.

If that does not solve the problem, clean your project*, zip it, and send it to WaveMetrics support.

* A cleaned VC project should have no build or only these files in the VC folder:

<XOPName>.sln
<XOPName>.vcxproj
<XOPName>.vcxproj.filters

It should not have these files and folders which you may need to manually remove:

.vs
Debug
x64
*.bsc
*.ilk
*.pdb
*.VC.db

NOTE: Be careful not to delete the .sln, .vcxproj, .vcxproj.filters files or any files that you may have put in the VC folder.

This seems to be the culprit, by commenting that section out it compiles and could be loaded by Igor. I will test it later to see if it does work.

Thanks for the help.
