Question about Installer Properties - Source Files

Solved!
Go to solution

All,

 

I just did a mass compile of my VIs (from LV 2021 to LV 2024 Q1) and I see two files that have yellow question marks next to them and it is causing the installer to not create the install files - I think.

When I try to create the install files, I am presented with this message:

When I go to the directory in the diaog box shown, the files are not present, and I cannot find them. How do I get around this? Has anyone else had this issue before?

Strange, I can't reproduce this issue, usually missing help files are not important, but anyway, check Documentation's Properties, may be these files linked here in some SubVIs:

I resolved the issue purely by accident (and wondering if it would work). I needed to go to Tools - Build Application (EXE) from VI so it would generate the EXE and any of the help files since I did not see any in any VI or SubVI. Then I could generate the installer without issue.
