Dynamically call a VI in an executable without including it in Source Files or without using a static VI reference

Am I right, your plan is to change a strict typedef with the runtime version? 

Are you sure that this is gonna work? If you change a typedef I think your VIs have to be recompiled which isn't working in the runtime environment.

Or is your plan to e.g. change individual elements of an array of clusters?

That doesn't seem like you are changing the typedef.

It seems you are just changing the value of the control that happens to be a typedef control.

And now for something completely different...

Another approach to launching VIs is to not use the call by reference node but rather...

Open a reference to the VI based on its path on disk

Use Invoke Node >>> Control Value >>> Set

After setting all of the inputs the way you want...

Use Invoke Node >>> Run VI

Using that approach lets you invoke VIs with diverse icon connectors. You need only know the names of the inputs you want to set and ensure you are passing the correct data type.

Yes, it is a bit more work (as was a lot of things in the old days when we had to make due stone knives and bear skins) but it is another approach that may help out.

Thank you Ben I will give it a try.

Yes I am changing the value of Control that is a typedef.
