How to run CVI program from command line

[guybrush_threepwood]

Hi! For memory debugging purposes, I need to start my program from the command line. I know what my current working directory should be. I go there in the command prompt and run >myprogram.exe. The result is an error in call to LoadAnsiPanel (File not found: myprogram.uir, Error code -94).

Why can't LoadPanelAnsi find the file even though the cwd is the same? The same happens if I start the .exe file from the file explorer.

Two options:

1. Unless stated otherwise in LoadPanel, .UIR files must be located in application folder: is thefilepresent where the application expects to find it?

2. In Build >> Target Settings mark "Embed Project .UIRs" checkbox: this way .UIR files are no longer needed as informations on the panels and controls are included in the executable

Thanks for answering!

1. It is located at "../" (adjusted for in the code), but that shouldn't be the problem since I make sure that I use the same working directory as when I run the program via the CVI IDE, right?

2. Solved my problem! Thanks!

I really don't know, I never tried putting .UIRs in a directory other than the application one.

But I see in the help for the function:

You can use a complete pathname or a simple filename for filename. If the name is a simple filename that contains no directory path, the file is loaded from the directory that contains the executable.

Now I don't know how to interpret this sentence, as this does not mention a relative pathname. I wonder for example if relative pathnames are to be intended with reference to the application folder or to the working directoy.

Anyway, l'm gladto heve helpedyou.
