The Application Directory primitive is giving unexpected output when running inside of a LabVIEW compiled shared library on Linux (so file). I haven't check for LabVIEW built shared library on Windows. Help says that when running in stand-alone app it should return the folder containing the app.When running in a built shared library, it behaves differently, as it returns the path of the so file + relative path of calling VI to the application.

It took some time but I got a response from R&D via (tech support).R&D's statement is : it's expected (but not well documented), that the paths differ between Windows and Linux. But that the behavior is not consistent for static/dynamic calls is not expected. We filed Bug # 2699859 for this. You can search for this number in the LabVIEW Release Notes of new versions to see if this bug was fixed.

Hi Christina,

Is there a way to fix this issue on macOS Tahoe with LabVIEW 2025Q3?

Cheers
