Build error: "path is empty or relative"

[xdaf]

I'm writing an application that manipulates text files. Text files are output of test equipment, and the application merges separate files into a single one, following some criteria.

The point is: if I run the program from Labview, it runs with no problem. But if I try to build an application (selecting the main VI as startup VI), I get the error in the picture.

I really can't figure out the meaning of this error. Main VI and sub-VIs have path-type controls, but their default values are all absolute paths (eventually c:/)

Inside main VI, I'm using a reentrant VI recursively. It's the first time I'm doing it under Labview: am I missing something about that?

My LV version is 2009.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

...any idea?

Hi xdaf,

I've read your message and I think that the best way to solve your issue is to reproduce the same problem. Can you upload your code?

Thanks

Hi Simone,

Thanks for replying. I can't post the code because it contains confidential information.

Nevertheless, the problem was solved with the help of your colleagues!

In case someone is interested: under the Build specification properties, select "advanced", and activate the "Use Labview 8.x file layout".

Regards
