My application doesn't open or create a .dat file after I made it an executable !

[DanielDias]

I made an application that stores some data in a .dat file. It works fine until I make the VI an executable. 

Even if my program didn't find the .dat in first time, it should create, but it isn't !

What I have to do for my VI use the .dat file in executable mode. I need this because I have to run the VI without LABVIEW 8.6 installed.

Thanks !

PS. Sorry for my poor English !!! I'm Brazillian !!!

What version of LabVIEW did you use to build the exe?
Did you include all necessary dependencies?

That cannot be the problem if he tries to create a file and it fails. Most likely he has relative paths and thus needs to strip twice to get to a real folder. You cannot create a new file "inside" the exe. For further information, real my link above.
