I am new to LIFA. I am having problems compiling a executable from a VI that basically blinks a LED on a arduino at different frequencies. LabView application builder builds the exe with no errors. But when I run the exe it doesn't run, neither any error is generated. I am wondering if I am including the right list of source files. Can anyone help?
My VI is attached.
Thanks,
Raheel

Can't open it. This is the first time I've ever had issues with not having a new enough version lol .
What DOES happen when you run it? Do the RX or TX lights do anything? Did you properly close the Arduino connection prior to running the executable? I've used executables many times for my project with LIFA so I know it's possible. I don't ever remember having to edit any list of source files though.

Thanks Nathan. What version have you got? I will make sure I save it in a version that you could open.
Basically nothing happens. When you double-click the exe, all one can see is a new icon on windows taskbar and then in couple of seconds that icon disappears as well.

I always post LabVIEW files as 2009 so it has a larger probability of being opened by people who visit this forum. I personally have 2011. I'm not sure if I have access to 2012 yet.

Dear Nathan,
Thanks a lot for your help. Just knowing that you couldn't open the file gave me a hint that there could be something wrong with my installation. I think I mixed up the installation files of ver 2012 and 2010 on my PC. But I redid a fresh installation of 2010 ver and now it works perfectly.
Many thanks for your help,
Raheel
