Error 7 when compiling (Labview 8.2)

[glennjammin]

When I try to compile my code into an EXE I Get this Error:

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

I have tried to mass compile and that didn't work.

It compiled fine before.  All I did is add a read file vi to my code.  I tried taking out the new code and same results.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

I have no experience with the 8.x app builder, but this probably means that the builder has some file listed somewhere which it can't find. I suggest you simply try creating the build from scratch.

Hey glennjammin,
    There are a couple of possibilities for this error.  A few customers have reported in the discussion forums that they had success just deleting that build and creating a new one.  Also, if you have shared variables that are contained within a subVI, that can lead to this issue.  Perhaps try slowly adding parts of your VI to a new blank VI until the build breaks, that would help point us in the direction of the issue.

I finally fixed it!  For some reason Labview decided it can't find a vi I was using to control an instrument even though it was there.  I Copied the vi from a different folder and replaced the vi in my diagram and it worked. 

It was very annoying that Labview didn't specify which vi it was having a problem with.  Error 7 seems to be a catch all.

I spent way too much time on this stuped error.

Thanks for all the replies though.
