Overview
The example will programmatically locate a VI from a network location and save it to a specified location before running.
Description:
The user chooses a file path to find a VI. They also select a new save location for the VI, which then runs from that new location and closes itself when the target VI starts. This is a fairly focused example but the concepts should be highly portable to other applications, and it's a nice example of how to use VI references to the current VI and external VIs to do many different things
