Compilation problem since windows 10

[Renaud747]

Hi all, 

I have labview 2011 and my software was able to compil on windows 8.1.

I recently update my laptop to windows 10 but since i can't complete the compilation of my software.EXE

it stop just before the building application step

is any body have the same problem ?

I already try to reinstal windows 8.1 but it don't fix the problem

Thanks

You could try re-creating your project and build specification, also try emptying the build output directory.

Did you try uninstalling and then reinstalling LabVIEW after the upgrade?

It's also worth noting that LabVIEW 2011 is not officially supported in Windows 10 - see the compatibility table here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52818/en/. I have been able to use LV2013 on Windows 10 without too many issues though.

You can also try to clear the "compiled object cache" (Tools | Advanced | Clear Compiled Object Cache ...). In case any of the existing objects (basically compiled VIs) are corrupted this would force LabVIEW to re-build them and hopefully fix any corruption.

Also try creating a small executable that does something simple like add two numbers together. Can you build it? What exactly is the error that you are seeing?

To add to what the others said, builds which fail at the final step seem to usually fail because LV can't manage to convert the folder it created into a single file. Usually, it looks like this happens because of anti-virus or indexing programs. You can see some discussion about this with links here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Application-Builder-can-t-build-exe-Error-8-occurred-at-AB-EXE/m-p/3...

Hi all,

Thanks for your help !

I will try to do it !

@mikeporter i dont have an error message, it is blocked after saving the last file (and start to regroup in the .exe) but without saying anything.

Hearing that about it usually being an access problem when it fails right to the end: I had a problem that after upgrading to win10 some folder permissions were changed. In my case my photo application (Lightroom) wasn't able to access the catalogue anymore. I had to manually move the catalogue to a different folder for lightroom to access it.

Can you change the build specification and the output path (e.g. a subfolder on the desktop) to exclude win10 messing around with folder permissions (which might not have reverted after reverting to win8.1)
