LabVIEW Build Error

[Double_D]

I attempted to build an existing LabVIEW project for deployment on a new computer.  This is the first time I have built this project under Windows 7 and LabVIEW 2012 SP1.  The build did not complete and the following message was received:

"CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi >> AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi >> AB_UI_Frmwk_Installer.lvclass:Build.vi >> Installer.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDist_Build.vi

Please advise.  Thanks.

Hi Double_D,

Are you trying to build an EXE or an Installer? You may need to ensure that dll links are linking correctly. Which version of LabVIEW was this project originally developed? That may also be an issue. Especially if you are changing LabVIEW versions, Operating Systems and .NET versions. Here is a document that dicusses some possibilities of the error.

I was able to get the installer to build correctly by adding the LabVIEW 2010 runtime engine instead of the LabVIEW 2012 version.  When I installed the application on the target machine, however, the installer insisted that I needed the 2012 runtime.  I then downloaded the 2012 runtime from the NI website and everything appears to be working correctly now.

Even I am getting this error

CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi >> AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi >> AB_UI_Frmwk_Installer.lvclass:Build.vi >> Installer.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDist_Build.vi

Still not getting solution on this , can you please support to resolve the issue .

Hi diveshgarg,

Could you give me some more information on your application? Are you building an installer or an executable file? Are you using DLLs in your program? Did you include all subVIs in your build? I have also included a link at the bottom of the post that walks you through how to create an executable.
