LabVIEW classes and mass compile

[davidpcl]

Just wondering if anyone out there has found any problems mass compiling LabVIEW classes, as I am having what appears to be totally un-resolvable issues - I get a list of VIs that either say BadsubVI or BadVI all of which I have verified are error free.

The only thing I can round it down to is the use of the lvclasses, and in particular the fact that I'm making extensive use of the inheritance functionality, and also a few override vi's.

It wouldn't be such an issue except that I'm calling some of these vi's from TestStand, and am unable to get a deployment to work without a successful mass compile.

Appreciate any responses,

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but I had a vi that would compile into an unrunable exe. I found the problem by mass compiling the project, which came up with a bad vi and bad subvi's that used that vi. Turns out my problem was that I had two classes with the same name (even though they were in separate lvlibs). And renaming one corrected my problem. LabVIEW 8.5 gives a warning and renames the compiled vi's (so if you could try 8.5, that might help you find the problem quicker assuming it's related). It seems to me that the name spaces provided by lvlibs go away when compiled into an exe or by the mass compiler (It may just affect lvlclasses).
