Differences between Debug .exe file and Execute .exe file

[Xin Wu]

We are very confused by the following problem when we are using
LabWindows/CVI to develop our application:

Our program is for retrieving data from real time and process the data to
get the statistic results. If we run the program using "Run >> Debug
OurProject.exe", it runs very well. However, if we run this same program
in
two steps: first using " Build >> Create Debugable Executable" menu, then
using " Run >> Execute OurProject.exe", it can not run and outputs very
different results. How come does this happen? What's the difference between
these two kinds of running a program? Please help!

it might be that there are some variables not initialized. the development environment automatically initializes all variables. an executable program does not.
