You've provided essentially no information, so I'll just guess.

The most common "error 37" is reported by the serial VIs when you try to open a serial port.

Here are some of my guesses, then...


  • You are on Windows (since you mention labview.ini).
  • You are able to successfully launch LabVIEW and load your VIs.
  • The error is reported by a serial VI in your application.
  • (This one is more of a stretch.) You are trying to deploy an application somehow by copying files (as opposed to deploying a runtime installer).


How close am I?

The serial port VIs return error 37 when they can't find the "serpdrv" file (which is supposed to be next to the application), or when they fail to open the serial port (because you've spe
cified the wrong port, or because the port is already open in another application).

There are no command line options that will fix this.

Please post your results here, and provide more details to help us understand what you are doing.
