Path location on EXE different PCs

[Shawn19]

Hi all,

I have an EXE(and Source code) that updates a report everything is run, the EXE works great on my PC but when I move the  EXE to the machines it was made for it works but doesn't update the report i think is a path issue.

I locate the template in the same location for all other machines but i think the issue is the name of the PCs,

Each PC has a different name,PC1, PC2 PC3..

So is there a way or nomenclature in Labview to telling the EXE to go to the Documents file\Report file\Report.

without including the name of the PC ? 

Thank you

1. don't use absolute paths.  Use a relative path with respect to the "application directory" / "strip path" / "build path"

2. Check if your target folder exists.  If not, create it.
