Application Builder uses localized decimal point

[richu12065]

I am building an application which will run in countries that use a comma instead of a period for a decimal point. I have turned off the option USE LOCALIZED DECIMAL POINT under options for Labview. This works. However, when I build an EXE using the application builder, the setting is not transferred to the EXE, and the application will not run. Is there a way to set the application builder to not use the localized decimal point?

When you run your application "myapp".exe for the first time you will notice a file called "myapp".ini is created in the same location as the executable. You need to add the key:
useLocaleDecimalPt=False
to that file. Now rebuild your application and make sure that "myapp".ini is included in your support files and is installed into the same directory as "myapp".exe.

Also remember the [MyAppName] line in the .ini file - see this thread

Hi,

I did as you describe and the App works fine after editing the <app>.ini file

I also copied the <app>.ini file into my work dir, included it in my project and put it to the "alsways included" list

as soon as i publish the app again the settings are gone and I have to put the line "useLocaleDecimalPt=False" back manually

any idea how to solve this?

TIA

Hi Nitedula,

don't use the "always included" section - uncheck the "Use the default LabVIEW ini" checkmark in the advanced section of the Build properties!
