lvb Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 I am sure that someone has come across this problem before. What is the best method for determining the LVCompare.exe path? Is there a cross-platform solution? I am looking to update some Hg tools to support cross-platform operation. My initial thought was to use the "Get System Directory.vi". Does anyone know what the default paths are for Linux and OSX? Quote
asbo Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Based on the narrow scope of this KB article (Comparing Two VIs in LabVIEW), other platforms don't get a compare tool? That seems crazy, though, since it's only written in LV anyway (I think). Quote

asbo Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Ha! If only I'd clicked through... They referred only to "LVCompare.exe", so I assumed... Quote

Is there a cross-platform solution? Please be aware that your code is not cross-platform compliant (even if those folders existed)... However I assume that somewhere in regedit the location of the NI Shared folder is stored. Ton Quote
