Global Variables - Upgrade LV 8.5

[Joachim082]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade an existing application which uses a few global variables. The orignal source code was created with LV 7.1. Within this application it is an EXE a few other VIs are called dynamically which are writing and reading the global variables. Within the Development Environment (Project Explorer) everything works correctly, but when i make an application the Run VI invoke node returns the error code 1003. Can't I use Global Variables in an EXE from 8.0? Is there only the way of using SVs? Because the application is very large it is a very extensive job to adjust.

Kind Regards,

You can use global variables. When you built the exe in 8.0, did you include the dynamic VIs and the global in the project? The error means that a VI is broken and it something is missing in the build and the installer you created (you create an installer?), you will get this error.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the hint. I've set the dynamically loaded VIs to the always included list of the build spec and now it works.

Kind Regards,

Joachim
