Control where a LabVIEW executable write it's Settings Configuration file

[longday]

Is there any way to control which directory a LabVIEW executable writes it's configuration settings file to? I am using version 7.1.

I believe the INI file must be in the same directory as the executable. You can use the keys found in the LabVIEW.ini file and they will apply to your executable without any special programming on your part. That being said, you can always create a custom settings file or files anywhere you like to store configuration information specific to your application.

If we could specify some other path for the executable settings file, it would probably hurt more than help in the long run. The same directory as the executable is the only one whose existance you can be sure of..... or of whose existance you can be sure. 🙂
