Hello,

[speedyray10]

We have recently purchased LabVIEW 6i Base Package for Windows, and I was wondering how to perform a mass compile. Is there an *.exe file that is created upon compilation?

Thanks!

I'm not sure i understand what you mean by mass compile. To save all vi's in a project to one library do the following :
From the main VI select File>Save with options.
Select 'development distribution'.
Choose 'New location - single prompt'.
Press save.

To compile into an exe (that can be distributed to a machine without labview development enviroment on it)you need the application builder. It comes with the professional version, or you can buy it standalone. See NI's website for more information.

On LV 6 some menu item were re-arranged.
To find the mass compile tag just open a new vi, click on Tools/Advanced and there it is!

For those who do not know what mass compile means, it is the tedious operation required each time you install a new version of LV to convert all the vis to the new version.
