Getting error while creating exe file from my VI.

[Bhandi]

Hi,

I am trying to build the exe file of my VI. I tried to follow the instructions in Help ( Example: Building a Stand-Alone Application) but instead of creating exe file, it is creating folder containing my all VI and VI from Application Builder.

Kindly Help me.

Thanks and Regards,

It sounds like you might have accidentally selected to create a source distribution instead of an application. That's different from an application. A source distribution basically makes a copy of your VIs into another location so that others can use them for VIs they create. When you expand the Build Specifications tree the icons indicate what kind of build you're creating. An applicaiton has an icon that looks like a tiny window with a title bar. A source distribution has an icon that looks like a folder with the Add function in the upper right:
