labview build executable with dynamic vi's

[Poema]

When I build an executable with a dynamic vi located in in the support directory I will have a bunch of vi's created in that directory. For distribution all those file were also copied to the destination computer. Is there a way to hide or compress all those files on the destination computer so I can load them without the operator can see them. (without hiding the directory)

Hi Poema,

you may try to include the "dynamic" VI in your executable instead of putting it in the data subfolder…

Hi,

Thanks for the tip but, that's not working for me because I am using an DLL for Pie charts.

Hi Poema,

how is the DLL related to the VIs, which you want to hide from the user?

(You may put the VIs also in a single lvlib(p)…)

HI,

 The library I'm using is the 'DataVisualisation' tool. I have also another problem with putting the vi's in the executable. When I compile my program I am getting 'Error 6 File I/O error'.

I can put the vi in a lvlib but it is only one file the rest are dependency's.

Hi Poema,

I can put the vi in a lvlib but it is only one file the rest are dependency's.

That's why I suggested to include that one VI into the executable. All the dependencies will be included in the exe too…

When I compile my program I am getting 'Error 6 File I/O error'.

Do you get that error "while compiling" or "when running the executable"?

Did you include some error logging to know which file access is failing?

That sounds like an issue with how you are referencing the VIs.  Can you share some code to show how you are calling your dynamic VI?

[Poema]

While compiling, there is no file name specified.

Hi Poema,

is there an explorer window, pointing to the executable folder, open while compiling? Close it!

If this is not the case: provide more information by attaching your (full) project…

FYI

When I include the vi in the program as a sub vi  I am getting 'Error 6 File I/O error' (during compilation)

When I include the vi as a dynamic vi in the executable I am getting 'Error 6 File I/O error' (during compilation)

When I include the vi as a dynamic vi in an external directory => no problem
