It appears that cvi.exe can run into serious memory problems for larger projects due to a memory-hungry generation of source code browse information.
The solutions suggested (* don't generate browse information for larger projects or * don't use larger projects) are not too helpful. In my opinion, a much better solution would be to provide cvi.exe as a 64 bit application.
Because a crashing CVI is a serious limitation I hope this wish will make it soon.
Thanks...
