build exe is working but the program is not

[Susanne1709]

i have build an exe, everything went fine. I opened the exe and want to start the program via "Übernehmen". Then I get the attached error message. It's an old Labview Version (2009) which I converted in 2014. Do I miss sth I should add to get a successfull program via exe?

Does the application run fine in the development environment?

Does the old version of the application work on the same PC?

What happens when you run the .exe - does anything come up on the screen? Do you get any error messages?

I don't speak german so I don't understand the message that appears - but it seems to be saying something related to the 'program not installed'? Was there previously an installer that did custom actions (e.g. running other installers or putting files/registry keys in certain locations)?

That looks like a one button popup dialog to me, rather than an NI error message.  Have you searched the program source for the text of that popup?

1. yes, it is running fine in the development environment. There are no errors when I start the main.vi. I can open the program and work with it etc.

2. yes, the old version is working. It's 2009, I installed 2009 Runtime and I can open the .exe and work with it.

3. concerning 2009 .exe see my answer at 2. When I start .exe which is converted AND build in 2014, the first screen is working. Then I press the "Übernehmen" Button and I got the attached error. Yes, it says "the program is not working".

I don't know if there were custom actions. I got this project from a former colleague... 😕

NIReport, are you using Report Toolkit? Is it installed on the newer LV?

/Y

[Susanne1709]

yes, Report Toolkit is installed. Creating reports is possible in the development environment. see the licence manager below.

I don't know if it is a Labview error or not because when I start the main.vi and press the button "Übernehmen" is working. It's only not working via .exe.

how can I search for this error message in the whole project? thanks 🙂

[Susanne1709]

I found the error 🙂 but I don't know how to fix it 😞

I attached the main.vi. Here the error message is mentioned in the false case. But why the application is working in the development environment and then not in the .exe?
