An Error Occurs When I Go To "Build Properties-->Icon" -- Custom Icon Build Fails

[drdoug]

LV 2011

Mac OS X 10.6.8

1. Create a new Build Specification using the Application Builder.

2. Click on the "Icon" tab.

The following error occurs:

Three possible outcomes from here:

1.  Usually LV2011 hangs when changing this option.  (i.e. "time to Force-Quit LabView" and recover the project)  It hangs after I uncheck the "Use default LabView icon" box, and then select my own custom icon from the file browser that appears.

If it doesn't hang:

2.  I build using the default LabView icon.  That build succeeds.

3.  I build using my own icon (which has worked before in LabView app builds).  That build fails, near the end, with the following error:

Please tell me how I can help get this working.

Hi,

Does this error only occur with this particular project or is it every project?  Have you ever been able to create an icon with this particular install of application builder?

Good questions.

1. This happens with all projects.  As I mentioned, I get an error box as soon as I select the "Icon" tab in the Build Properties dialog.  After that, it either hangs or fails to build.  This happens with any new or existing project.

2. I have not built an application with a custom icon with LabView 2011.  Remember I am Mac OSX so I install Application Builder separately from a .dmg file.

3. I was able to successfully build an application with a custom icon in LabView 2010.

So, it would seem to me that we should rule out that it's a global bug with LV2011 on Mac OSX (10.6.8).  If you install and make a new project, and attempt to add a custom icon, I would bet you can reproduce this exactly.  The error dialog pops regardless, and everytime.

Hi,

Did you just recently upgrade your application builder or your LV2011?  I would suggest try an uninstall/reinstall of the application builder.
