lvlibs and executables

[pgstein104]

Hi All,

I am attemping to buld an executable from source code (LV2009) that calls two seperate custom .lvlibs. The problem is when I build it, it creates the exe along with two folders containing all of the vi's in those libraries. Is there a way to roll them into the exectuable? I figuered this would be really easy but i have had no luck.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Paul

Make sure that the build script does not have the "use 8.x structure" option checked (probably in the Advanced page). I'm assuming this project was ported from an earlier version, where this is checked automatically for compatibility.

Note that this changes the internal structure of VIs in the EXE, so if you're using relative paths, you might have to do some fixing of your code.

The internal format of executables changed in LabVIEW 2009. By default, though, older projects load using the older format. You can toggle this setting on the Advanced page. Look for the option - "Use 8.x file layout". Uncheck this (if it's checked) and the files will no longer be placed outside the EXE.

If the above suggestions don't work. then try forcing the libs into the exe:
