Labview claims it can't find a file that is an instance of a file.

Hi,

When creating a source distribution, I get the error message: 

File Not Found: C:\NWS for maryland clean\DTCont\DTCont.vi\Instance           2 14Saved   DTCont .vi(spaces reproduced exactly).

<Call Chain>Error 7 occurred at AB_Engine_HandleLinkErrors.vi -> AB_Engine_Update_Source_from_Linker.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:CalculateDependencies.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi -> AB_UI_Page_Preview.vi

DTCont is the top level VI the distribution is of. I've exported the code from the TSVN source control so this is a project without SVN repositories (I thought that might be the problem). I've tried Force compile and mass compile and "remove unused members of project libraries", to no avail. I get the same error message. Obviously I've never seen a VI with this ridiculous name inside my top level VI. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Danielle

Hi Danielle,

Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

I hope this is able to help.

Hi,

I already loaded, force compiled and mass compiled and everything works fine, so I don't think a VI or dll was removed or deleted. In the end I solved it using save as and duplicate heirarchy as explained here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F3DC40A6E3F3B25B862570AD005D1D3D. Thanks for the help!
