Yet another -18002 error

[LV_Pro]

Good Afternoon,

    We are running into a problem that is causing us a lot of grief. When we build our TestStand program into a application and attempt to install it on the target machine, with the TestStand LabVIEW adapter set to "Runtime 7.1.1" we have been getting the -18002 errors, which didn't occur when the adapter is set to "LabVIEW development". What happens is that we are told that a VI won't run and if we try and select that VI with "Specify Module" in the Test Stand sequence it gives us an error, telling us that it is unable to find some sub-vi, in this case the "Merge Errors" function from the LabVIEW 7.1 palette. If you then go through the directories and show it where it is it will open in the Specify Module window. Closing and rerunning gets to the next instance of the same vi, or a related one that also seems to not find the "merge errors" function. We have done a mass recompile, reinstalled the runtime engine, performed the copying of the LabVIEW runtime file "lvruntime.msm" to the TestStand directory's lvruntimeeng71.msm as an earlier thread suggests to no avail. Any ideas?

P.M.

Have you deployed these VIs?  Most VIs are not in a state compatible with the Run-Time Engine until they have been deployed through TestStand.  If you are developing, I suggest sticking with the Adapter setting "LabVIEW Application" until you are ready to deploy.  Deployment will package your VIs so that they can be properly run in the Run-Time Engine.  However, I would recommend staying away from packaged VIs until after you have completed development.
