Build Errors VI, OK in Edit Mode

[Allan E]

I get the following error message when doing a build preview.

The VI runs fine in edit mode.

Unable to generate preview. The following files have links to help files that are invalid. Open the files and fix the help links.

C:\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\FieldPoint\Polymorphic Read.llb\FP Read (Float Array).vi

Hi Allan,

Could you please list which options you are selecting when building a source distribution? Under "Distribution Settings" category, could you try checking the "Disconnect type definitions and remove unuses polymorphic VI instances" option and see if that helps with the build process?

Also I suggest Mass Compiling your VIs (Tools -> Advanced -> Mass Compile) before creating a source distribution. If these do not help, could you attach your project with all the VIs it contains here?

Thanks for the help.  I may well be missing the point but I was trying to build an executable not a source distribution.

Sorry about that, for some reason I assumed you are building a source distribution. Try to mass compile, and let me know what happens.

Problem solved I think, at least the error messages have gone away, upgraded fieldpoint to 5.01 and a mass compile did that trick.

thanks
