Error in invoking the build engine Issue.

[Saurabh_Parmar]

Hello Everyone,

I am encountering an error while trying to build an EXE for my source code.
It was working fine before, but suddenly, this issue started this morning.
I am receiving an error during the EXE build, stating that the Error 1370 occurred at mentioned BuildMonitor.vi.
But those vi's are password protected, so I unable to debug it.

I have two versions, 2021 and 2019, but I am facing the problem in the 2021 SP1 version.
Is anyone have any idea to debug this.?
Any guidance or suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The Good News is that the two versions of LabVIEW you are using are versions that experienced LabVIEW Developers probably can open.  The Bad News is we cannot debug code that we cannot see and test, ourselves.

Here are two options: 

1. Attach your LabVIEW code (probably the entire Project, easily done:
   • Open the Project.
   • Click on "File" in the Menu bar.
   • Choose "Save for Previous Version".
   • You'll get a Folder that contains a lot of stuff.  Right-click the folder and choose "Send To:", "Compressed (zipped)".
   • If it is still too large, you can try removing the folders that are copies from the C: drive (such as "Program Files"), and only leave the Folder that contains your LabVIEW Project. 
2. Find a LabVIEW Expert to come and look at your code.  Ask your colleagues ...

Thanks for the suggestions, but I need to use the code in the same version.

So, I simply repaired the whole 2021 SP1 LabVIEW through the Control Panel.

It helped; those errors are gone, and EXE building started as usual.

Hi,

Can you please tell me how did you fix it through control panel? I'm using 20225 Q3 and I am having same issue again.

You probably need to use "NI Package Manager" to do this, assuming this is still a problem that can be fixed with a repair of the installation.  

You should be able to find it either in your Start menu under "National Instruments" or in "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager".  Run it, and you get a list of everything you have installed.  Select some items with the checkboxes and choose "Repair" on them.

You can try it on a small number of things that look like they're what needs repairing (mainly your dev environment and runtime) and repair just them, or you could just give up, check all the boxes, and repair everything (maybe leaving your PC on overnight).  

Since you didn't post any details, if repairing everything still doesn't help it, I would recommend posting a new thread with your own screenshots of the problem, including your code if you can.
