Cannot find control files after building an executable

Every time I run my executable (LV 2010) a window pops up to ask where my *.ctl files are. I have included my Control directory in the Project environment, then changed the builder setup to store the ctl files in the support directory, but always get the popup when running the exe. I didn't have a problem using LV8.5.

While building your application you will need to take care of this.

 

Another thing which you can try is to make sure that the path specified for *.ctl in vi is the same as is in the system currently. Application and ctl should be in the same folder.

Thanks Hardik. I moved all custom controls to the same directory as the top-level vi (sub-vi's have their own directory), removed all my own references to the controls in the app-builder. It now runs ok.
