Custom express VI gives "unable to view properties" error

[nanocyte]

It seems like any time I open a custom express VI by:

• Right click block diagram
• Select VI...
• Browse to non underscorred LLB outside of ProgramFiles/LabVIEW
• Select TestExpress Source
• Drop on block diagram

I get the "Unable to view properties" error. I'd like to keep the express VI outside of the ProgramFiles/LabVIEW folder to keep all the code in one place.

FYI: LV2015SP1

Hi nanocyte,

Are you able to view the properties if you keep the Express VI inside the Program Files/LabVIEW folder?

Yes, the config VI pops up if I put it in the user.lib folder. You can try it for yourself if you'd like. I attached the express VI.

Hi nanocyte,

It looks like the any Express VIs that you create have to be in the LabVIEW directory, so I don't think you are going to be able to keep these in the same place.  I found this excerpt:

"Place the Express VI in the LabVIEW directory structure."

It's located on page 9 of the LabVIEW Express VI Development Toolkit User Guide. (I have the link set up to open in a new page).
