Can I have multiple support directories?

[tguenzler]

I have several VIs on the same PC that call the same DLLs.  These DLLs are located in different locations based on what they do.  When I build each VI into an executable, it will not allow me to specify a different location (support directory) for the DLLs.  I do not want all my DLL located in the same location.  Is it possible to have multiple support directories?  Is there another way I should go about doing this?  I’m using LabVIEW 8.5.

Example of my directory structure:

Factory\

            SharedDlls\

                        Foo1.dll (this DLL needs to be called by several VIs)

            Calibration\

                        Foo2.dll (this DLL is only called by VIs in the Calibration directory)

                        Blah1.vi (calls Foo1.dll and Foo2.dll)

            General\

                        Blah2.vi (calls Foo1.dll only)

Hello tguenzler,

You can create more support directories in the Application Properties when creating the executable.

1.- Press on the Add new directory button
2.- Specify a Name
3.- Specify a NEW path
