Error building Application that runs correctly

[Pie56694]

Qia.sky,

Are you using shared variables with Real-Time FIFO and logging?  If so, then this is known issue 42QCCMZL, fixed in LabVIEW 8.5.  If not, then please let me know.

Hi Pie

I don't use such technical in my application

I just use the .net notifyicon in my application, this issue come out.

But I find a solution like this, open the project, never open the VI and run it, directly build, it will work fine. but we I open the VI and run, work fine, but when I build in that suitation, build will fail.

Hope this not a bug but misuse of some technicals in my application.

Hi Qia.sky,

Thank you for trying this simple example.  Please give me some time to investigate your findings.

Hi Qia.sky,

This was reported to R&D (# 119732) for further investigation.  Thank  you for your feedback.  I will keep the thread updated with any feedback that I receive from R&D.  For now, please continue to use the work-around you mentioned: build the EXE from the Project Explorer before opening the VIs.

Also having this problem using LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP. The VI reported to be broken runs just fine, but is part of a large program involving hundreds of VIs.  The problem VI contains about a dozen Call Library Function Nodes and a couple global variables.  No link problems.  Restarting LabVIEW, opening the project, and attempting to build without opening any VIs doesn't help.

Hi td_501,

Have you mass compiled your VIs?  You can do this by going to Tools»Advanced»Mass Compile.  Will the build work after mass compiling?

I deleted the source code, copied in a backed up version, rebuilt the project file, and tried creating the executable again today.  This time it worked.  Both efforts did have to recompile the VIs from an older version of LabVIEW (7.1, I think), but don't know why the second effort for successful.
