Strange Behaviour of VI as well as Exe

[I_I]

Attached example shows strange behavior i.e. sometime works but sometime doesn't.

LabVIEW Ver. 8.2.1

Win XP Service Pack2

Any comment would be appreciable.

I am amazed it even ever works...
The following code will get you into trouble:

Instead of Close you should set the state (with a property node) to hidden, and after running the sub-vi set the FP to Standard.
Instead of opening a reference with the path node you should use 'this vi' in the application control palette.
The reason your exe fails is quite simple, for a very short time there is no front panel open. Without any front panel open the executable will terminate itself.
