Error building source distribution

Solved!
Go to solution

I get an error when building source distribution saying:

"LabVIEW cannot find a file that is a dependency of a Startup, Exported, or Always Included VI.

File Not Found: The file at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\vi.lib\utf\common\conversion\utf_string_to_tag.vi' was expected to have the qualified name 'NI_UnitTestFramework.lvlib:utf_string_to_tag.vi', but has the qualified name 'utf_string_to_tag.vi'.

The missing file might be referenced by one of the libraries included in the build or by the file - OpenData.vi. To fix this issue:

- Open all Startup, Exported, or Always Included VIs, recompile them (CTRL+SHIFT Click the Run arrow) and save them to update their dependencies.
- Open all libraries included in the build and verify the existence and locations of referenced files. Also, try building with the additional exclusion option, "Remove unused members of project libraries", checked."

 

Any ideas why this happens?

I believe MoReese is right, first try to follow up with the suggestions, if it still doesn't work, please make some printscreens and please show us if the files are in the project, all the dependencies. Usualy if some dependencies are not available you get the warning information about that prior building the source distribution

I don't know what was wrong but I restarted Labview and it worked.
