Hi Aymane,

error 7 is "file not found": did you check if the file path is valid? (Did you check that also in the executable?)

Generic advice as you didn't attach any code: Don't use "Current VI's path" inside the exe!

Hi Gred,

i have the same project running on the same machine with the file path, but it doesn't wotk with the insttaler/.exe;

i didn't understand your msg ''Don't use "Current VI's path" inside the exe!"!

He means don't use this node:

Hi Amyane,

inside an executable the "Current VI's path" contains one more folder level due to the executable: this will bite you when trying to build path to files!

Use the "Application directory" constant instead!

[aymaneLAK]

Should be changed by application directory? and after that you have recreate the installer?

Yes.

And yes: when you change the code then you need to recompile…

(Don't forget to test/debug your code in between those two steps!)

Hi Gerd,

i tested to replace Current VI's path with Application directory, but it doesn't work in test/debug?

Hi Aymane,

which file do you are try to access? What is the full path of that file?

Which path do you create within your VI/executable?

Did you compare both?

[aymaneLAK]

Hi Gerd, 

Yes, after comparing the two methode, a directory name was missing in the path;
