Hi, I am trying to launch an external non labview .exe from my labview code and I am having the problem that it works when I am running the VI but once I build an .exe out of my VI I can no longer open this external application. I cant share the rest of my code but my call to start the application is very simple and looks like this. I have tried looking at the error out and the standard output but I am no outputs or errors. Also, it seems to stop the top-level vi when this system exec VI gets called.

Try this. Also, wait until completion should generally be false. If not, the function blocks until the .exe stops.

Thanks for the suggestion, it appears like I had the wrong subvi setup which was causing the issue.
