build error - No error code - LV 2009

[cjlandry]

I am trying to build a simple NI-Motion program.  The program works great but when I build the application I get a copy error.  The destination it is trying to build to has a path that I can't understand why it is trying to save there?  The error is attached.

Thanks in advance!!

I see some forward slashes mixed into the file paths.  That is an illegal character.

[cjlandry]

Good call!  What I find unusual is that the file name has the forward slash and this subVI is part of the NI-Motion software bundle.  NI named this file using a forward slash.  I guess NI doesn't use a standard naming convention?

[RavensFan]

Perhaps that file name only exists within an .llb?

I remember reading another thread not that long ago where the use of a ? mark in some VI's caused some build problems as well.  I think NI has started to fix those files in newer versions of LabVIEW for that reason.

you guys are on the right track.  Take a look at this KB about build errors with NI-Motion

Thanks Kristen,  the link didn't work but I found the solution.  In the Properties of my build application, I checked the box " Build to 8.6 file names"  or something to that effect.  This checkbox can be found in the advanced link.

Thanks!!
