LabVIEW 2009 build memory usage exceeds Windows limit

[PipT]

We have a large application that builds without problems using 8.6.1, but failed to build using LabVIEW 2009 with the error "Not enough memory to build this application".

We solved the problem by adding the parameter /3GB to the Windows XP boot.ini file. This increases the available memory for a Windows XP application from 2Gb to 3Gb.

It appears that LabVIEW 2009 uses more memory during the build process and, in our case, this took it over the 2Gb limit.

Just curious....

How large you application [EXE] is really?

[PipT]

The actual .exe file is about 21Mb. When runnng it uses about 100-200Mb, memory depending on the loading of dynamic VIs etc.

The 2Gb limit was exceeded by LabVIEW during the build process, which is quite different to the memory used by the application itself when it runs.

Did you try to report this to NI?
