How to publish exe with Actor Framework projects?

[peter_liu]

Hi, I have developed a project with Actor framework, but I can not publish it correctly. 

I just follow the process that I publish normal VI, but the launch can not launch the actor.

For testing, I have developed a very simple case to test the publishing process, that I develop an actor to prompt up a dialog window, and with a top VI to launch it.

in VI, it works well, but when I publish it in exe, the top VI can not launch the actor and prompt up dialog window do not show up.

Can anyone help me with this? thanks.

What do you mean by publish? Building an exe? I just built the exe from your project and its working fine. Do you receive an error when you launch the actor?

Hi,Thanks for your help. yes I mean build an exe. 

When I run the exe, the launcher.vi does not launch the actor, I have put an one button dialog in the actor core and no prompt up dialog window show up.

Try to disable the ActiveX server in the advanced page in build specification.

I observed something strage in your project: there was no startup VI specified. I set launcher.vi to be the startup VI and built the exe. It worked with or without the ActiveX server, but if I save the project (and so the build specifications settings), startup VI does not save. If I close the project and open it again, I have to set again the startup VI. Also some virtual folders and destinations in build spec are shown as "????" but this is probably because you use LabVIEW in a language that my version does not support.
