Error 10 every time I build any application on OS X

[ScrapIron]

Even if a create a simple VI with nothing but a while loop, a stop button and a timer inside, I get error 10 while building the application. I have tried several combinations fo the inclusions/exclusion selection, enable/disable debugging, etc. Always get the same error. I know other people can build applications with os x so it must be something about my installation, but I don't know where to start. I'd rather not reinstall everything. Hope someone has seen this before.

Hi ScrapIron,

Thanks for posting to the discussion forum.  Are you able to build any applications, for example just simple one, or does this happen to all applications you attempt to build?  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  This information will help me to better figure out what is going on.  Thanks

Thanks for your reponse.

It happened no matter how simple or complex my application. I have now made the problem go away. I'll tell you what I did.

First I re-started the computer. Then I tried to build a very simple application and it worked. But when I tried again, it failed with Error 10. So I restarted labview and it stll failed with error 10. The only way I could get it to build the app was to restart the computer and then it would only build it the once.

Then I started looking at some of the VI's that are part of the app builder and I got a little suspicious because some seemed to be linked to the LabVIEW 8.0 folder, not the 8.2. I had LabVIEW version 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 and 8.2 on my computer.

I removed all but version 8.2 and now the build works every time. So I think somehow the app builder VI's got crosslinked between versions after the first time I built and app in 8.2. I don't know how this happened since I actually rarely, if ever, have tried to use the app builder on my mac. I can't imagine a case in which I had Labview 8.0 and 8.2 open at the same time and built an application with one of them.
