Action taken to debug-

 1. reconstruction of project

 2. reconstruction of build

 3. Mass compilation

Hello All,

I am making a installer, in which i am trying to add Non-Labview files( Size - 2GB).

But it was giving error-

When i reduce the file size then build is successful.

Please someone help me in that.

Thanks in Advance.

Help with reducing the file size? Use ZIP…

(Can't you supply those "non-LabVIEW files" as an additional package?)

Thanks for your reply.

I have used these files to make batch file and run another tool(Ansys Simplorer) with the help of Labview and python. So i want that all my non-labview files should be in same path as of labview files.

Is their any way to include these files in installer, or the size of files is fixed what we can use in installer?

You wrote about a size of "2GB": maybe there is still an I32 value in the AppBuilder preventing the creation of installers using such large files. (Or maybe this is a limitation of the installer routine itself.)

That's why I suggested to either try to use a ZIP archive for those "non-LabVIEW" files or (even better) provide those files as an additional file independently from your installer. You still can add a batch file to copy the content of the ZIP file into the folder of your LabVIEW executable…
