Application Builder missing common error handlers when running exe ( Ver 5.1)

[Shep_Ametek]

 I am attempting to build new executable using Project builder under Labview 5.1.  I have updated the data file and said to embeeded the vis. However, simpler errror handle.vi and others fail to load after running the exe.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greg,

What data file are you updating?  When you create the executable, it should include the support VIs with the executable, if it does not, you can specify the simple error handler by including it in the support files when creating the build specifications.

The data file is a text file that Labview grabs test parameters from. Why are the generic vi not automatically included? Do I have to specify the vis or theor library  under national instruments\labview5.1\... in order to get them included?

Thanks.

Hi Greg,

To make sure that all of the VIs are included, you can save the top level VI as an application distribution by going to File >> Save with Options... and selecting Application Distribution.  Now you can build your exe from this distribution and it will include all of the subVIs, even the native functions such as Simple Error Handler.VI.
