Hi Golzio
I can't really add anything to the answers you have already other than to add that I had already come up against this problem tonight & arrived at the same conclusion - that you need a seperate .llb containing the *.vit files with your application. If I find a better solution I will post an answer - it's a shame really as the concept as outlined in the latest LTR was a really neat solution to our problem.
Lets hope someone from NI reads this stuff!!

I have explained a workaround in a previous post; maybe I was not clear enough of how to include a VIT in an executable.

1. Put your templates VIT on the diagram of a dummy caller VI. To avoid to create a new instance of the VIT on the diagram, drag the icon of the VIT and drop it on the caller diagram. A blue "T" should appear on the VIT icon to indicate that it is a template.

2. Include this dummy VI as a Dynamic VI in the build settings

3. Change the VIT settings to include their front panels.

4. If you build a single EXE, the VITs are now saved into the EXE. If you build with an external LLB, include the VITs as Dynamic VIs to force them to be saved in the EXE.

The bug is that when you include VIT as a Dynamic VI without a caller
, the VIT is not saved in the EXE internal LLB.
