Cusp Trap

I was having a similar problem. The compiled EXE would always begin by asking me to browse for dependencies. The solution was to rename the main VI, i.e. move it to an unrestricted destination on my C drive. So I think the problem was caused by the main VI being saved inside the driver folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2018\instr.lib
