Trouble with creating an exe

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello

I am trying to convert a vi to an executable. When I run the builder it comes up with any error:

Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:

Error 8 occurred at Create Folder in Create Directory Recursive.vi->AB_Destination.lvclass:Create_Destination.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Create_Destinations.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Create_Destinations.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  File permission error. You do not have the correct permissions for the file.

C:\Users\builds

 

I cannot figure out which permissions it is talking about. I have even moved my program to a public folder.

thanks

In the build settings, did you tell it to save the build to a public folder?

Change the build directory to your user directory. It's a Windows 7 security feature. Change it from C:\Users\builds to C:\Users\Keaton\builds (or whatever your username is on the system)
