How to change the ini file location which is auto generated when build exe?

[wellsc]

When build the application (EXE), the labVIEW will auto generate a ini file. It's located as the same path as the EXE.

I don't like that, I want to put it under other path together with other config files.

But I can't find a solution, could anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I dont think its an option available... because if you remove/delete the INI LabVIEW exe will create a new INI with default values.

Yes. But I think if user can configure where to create the ini file, it should be nice. Looks that LabVIEW application builder don't have this option.

If you don't need any of the settings in the generated ini file, run a post-build VI that deletes it.

What is post-build VI?

It will be recreated if run the exe every time.

In the Build Specification: Pre/Post Build Actions -> Execute VI after build.

I have an exe, here, that has the default ini file next to it. When I delete it, running the exe does not create a new one.

Each time you Build the exe, though, the ini file is created. You can delete it by hand, or create a post-build VI that deletes it automatically
