LabView & Serial Port Error 37

[Dave Brooks]

LabView 5.0.1 with Window95

I am building a program to read data from the serial port. In the LabView
development environment, the program works great! Once compiled to a standalone
exe, all serial ports give me an error 37 on the initialization and write.
I have tested this on several PCs/Notebooks, with reproducible results.

Any Insight would be helpful

Hello Dave

You probably don't have "serpdrv" in the same location as the .exe file you
built. Just copy the "serpdrv" file from the LabVIEW directory to the same
location as your exe.

Thanks Chuck,

That did the trick. Is there a good source of documentation on the driver?

Put a copy of serpdrv in the same directory as your executable.
Serpdrv can be found in your LabVIEW directory.
