Why doesn't datasocket work when I build my program into an application?

[IMacG]

Hi all,

I have written a program which uses datasocket to read data from another program running on the same PC. The program runs fine through the development system and I can read the data successfully, but when I try to build it into an application the datasocket no longer seems to work. I don't get any error messages but only the datasocket server manager shows only 1 process is connected where there should be 2.

I have added NI datasocket to the installer but still no joy. Is there something else I should be doing when creating applications utilising datasocket?

Hi there,

Take a look at this KB article, it sounds like all you have to do is add a file to the Dynamic VI tab of your application:
