Can anyone tell me how to fix this error I am receiving: LabView: File not found. VI "Mobile Display.vi" was stopped at unknown " " at a call to "Mobile Display.vi"?

[newbie11]

Can someone help me please? I am receiving this error everytime I attempt to execute my application:

LabView: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formated for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

VI "Mobile Display.vi" was stopped at unknown " " at a call to "Mobile Display.vi"

We cannot help without additional information:

Are you running your code

• ...in the development system?
• ...as a standalone application?
• ...deployed to an embedded target?
• If it is a built application, do you explicitly include dynamically called VIs in the build specification?
• Who wrote the program? Do you have access to the code?
• How is this VI called? Is there sufficient error handling?
• Do you manipulate paths as strings or as proper path datatypes with the strip path/build path primitives etc.?
• Is it running on the same OS used to develop it ...

I am new to this whole system so I'll tell you what I can.

I am running this as a standalone application from what I know. I get the same error whether I run on a Windows XP embedded system or Windows 7. The rest i'm not sure of but I can email it to you.

If somebody else wrote this and sent it to you as a standalone application, you should probably contact the original programmer. Obviously, the distribution is either incomplete or there are coding errors.

Did you receive the application as an installer or just as a single file? Where there any special installation instructions? What is the LabVIEW version? Are all required run-time engines and toolkits installed?

Unfortunately, he is not available for me to contact. My assumptions were along the same lines but as I said, I am brand new to lab view. Everything I now know is from the net.

I was given a folder with an installation file inside, no instructions, no information etc. It is labview 8.6. Honestly, I'm not sure if everything is there or not. I'm assuming not because I have attempted to locate a "Mobile Display.vi" file in all that was given to me but cannot find anywhere.

Also, I copied the entire hard drive from another unit using xp embedded where it was working. But when I put it on a brand new unit I get the same error.

If you are running an exe, you are not going to find the VI. It is part of the exe. That is not the missing file in any case. You would need the source code to determine the cause of the problem and fix it.
