Hi unCLAD

A work around for this would be to build you VI into and EXE so you have a nice GUI for distribution as you are doing, but when you want to do the actually work of editing the menu file, you will need to call an instance of LabVIEW and run the working VIs in the development environment. This will get around having no support for those functions in the run time engine.

Other products do this e.g. VIPM, Sciware GOOP Wizard etc...

Some people call the working VIs Agent VIs and the link might be a good example for you to check out.

Hi Jgcode,

Thanks for your reply.

I did not mean to edti menu file at run time. I just want to generate MNU file that was used for letting LabVIEW know how the VIs distributed on function palette programmely.

MNU file≠menu file

I suspect that your VI is trying to edit the palette of the runtime engine (which, of course, doesn't have palettes).

Hi Crelf,

My VI is used for modify "Item Path" programmely of an existing MNU file.

Have you tried to build any VI that contains "Write/Read Palette"?

Hi,

I try to use "Write/Read Palette" functions in my VI. And it works well.

But after I built it to EXE file. An -4406 error happened.

Error -4406 occurred at an unidentified locationPossible reason(s):LabVIEW:  A VI item in the palette data array is not supported in this version of LabVIEW.

Has anyone met this problem before? Or can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Philip,

Thank you very much.

The Method was available in earlier versions of LabVIEW, but changed to deprecated in LabVIEW 8.5 (I think).

I've recreated a version of the file you were looking for using LabVIEW 7.0.

Symbolic Path.vi (LV 7.0)

I've found it. The private method had beed removed to "LVTarget".

Hi,

The deprecated method of "Resolving Symbolic Paths" @ LabVIEW Wiki is no more available.

Can anyone upload it?

It's better to teach me how to show it up.

Thanks
