I believe that being able to create a static VI reference to an instance VI "accidentally" happened in LV 8.5. It did not work in LV 8.2. You will likely need a config token from us to be able to create static VI refs to instance VIs in the next release. (It is not that we don't want somebody doing it when they mean to; it is that we don't want somebody accidentally doing it.) I understand and empathize with your frustration. I cannot guarantee anything about future releases, but the code has already been written to improve instance VI behavior in several ways, including making static VI references to them work correctly in appbuilder. Additionally, no guarantees, but you should actually no longer even need the original instance VI call (which you currently have in a conditional disable node). Like AQ expressed, instance VIs were originally designed to have exactly one subVI node caller, and every other use (including static VI refs to them) is a little wonky, but is being made more stable for internal reasons. The LabVIEW Statechart Module uses instance VIs heavily under the hood.
