8.5 build problems

[minnellac]

I migrated a fairly large project from 8.2.1 to 8.5 recently, and I am having trouble building it. I get a very helpful message, as seen below. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. This project does have an xControl (which is the only reason I updated to 8.5) as well as a .NET control. I've already tried mass compiling the project. I did get a number of "bad vi" warnings, but none of those should be included in the build (test vis..). I also tried unchecking the option to disconnect type defs as well as enabling debugging with no joy. I am not using any of the LabVOOP stuff, but I figured it was worth a try.

I identified the problem. This would have been more obvious if it hadn't worked in 8.2.1. Apparently LabVIEW 8.5 didn't like the path to my build directory. It's a UNC path that is created by Parallels to provide access to the MacOS X filesystem from Windows. It starts \\.PSF\Minnella...

I don't know if it is the period in the share name or what, but I just changed the build directory to a folder on my desktop and the build proceeded without any problems.
