Building an exe fails - no error message

[FabiolaDelaCueva]

I don't know if this is related to the same issue.  

In two different systems with Windows 7 and LabVIEW 2009 sp1 we ended up with a folder by the exe name instead of an executable. 

For example, if the name of my executable was supposed to be MyApp.exe, I ended up with a folder by the name MyApp.exe. This folder kept all the folder structure with all the included vis that my executable should have, but there is no .exe file. If I right click on the build specification and select Run it tells me the .exe file does not exist. 

We were able to build again and then get the executable file. We had no error messages, the application builder said the build was complete.

LV builds the executable by first arranging all the files in a folder named MyApp.exe.  The last step is to change that folder hierarchy into something the OS and Labview RTE recognize as an executable.  I could watch my build do it's work then at the very end it would just delete the folder.  I'm guessing your problem is different if the MyApp.exe folder stayed there.
