Error 1073 When trying to build app.

[wd]

"Error 1073 occurred at... Possible reasons: This property is writable only when the VI is in the edit mode.

Application builder: The source VI must have its diagram in order to be included in an application."

When I save my vi as an app. distrib. without diagram I get this message when I try to build app. No problem if the diagram is included. Didn't have this problem in 6.1... any suggestions? Would like to build without diagrams.

Error 1073 occurs when trying to build any vi that is saved without the diagrams. If you are building an executable, then why are worried about the diagrams? The user will not be able to view the diagrams of a build executable.

That's not true from what I see. Under 6.1 I can build an executable that was saved without diagrams. Furthermore, it's not that I'm concerned about diagrams after building but rather if I have an .vi saved without diagrams, how can I build it with LV 7.0 to an executable as I can in 6.1?

That's exactly the same problem I am having. I have purchased some third party VIs that do not have diagrams. Previously in LV6.1, I could build them into an executable, but now with LV7.0 I can't (even though I now have the LV7.0 versions of these VIs). It seems that NI have changed the rules without telling anyone.

A work-around that I have tried successfully is to get DLL versions of the VIs.
