Hello,
Can anyone please help me add custom About box in built application in LabVIEW 2009? I had successfully built my application in labview 8.6, 8.5 and 8.2 before to include custom About box. However, when I tried the same method in LabVIEW 2009, it only showed LabVIEW 2009 About box rather than my custom About box.
Here is what I did:
1) Wrote an "About Application.vi" in the built VI folder;
2) Included this "About Application.vi" in the "Always Included" section of Source Files in Application Build;
3) Built the application;
4) Ran the built application, the About box showed only LabVIEW 2009 about (attached a picture).
You can see that on the upper left corner of the picture, there is my custom icon.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Cathy

Place a checkmark in the "Use LabVIEW 8.x File Layout" box under the Advanced Category of your Build Specification.

Thank you Christian. To place a checkmark in the "Use LabVIEW 8.x File Layout" box did not work. I found a solution though that LabVIEW 2009 has this inherent problem of not showing custom About box, and it has f2 patch to fix this problem.

Could you please post the link to this KB here for other users.
