Hi,
Do you have this problem when running the code under labview, or only when having compiled the exe?
I had the same problem. Used Open, Control Value Set (variant version), Run VI. Got the same behavior, diagram opened, did not seem to be running. Turns out there was an error in the vi I was opening, it ran once, too fast to notice. When I fixed that, it worked fine, both under Labview and as an Exe. Could it be something like that?
