Opening panel to build an application causes error 7

As soon as I open the panel to "Build Application or Shared Library (DLL)" I get an error:

"Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference in Dist Call Set Busy.vi->Dist Cmp Setting to Disk Heir.vi->Build Application.vi"

I can appear to setup the build, but when I "Build" the application I get the identical error and nothing is created.

What version of LV are you using?

I am using LabVIEW 7.1.  With the appropriate application builder.

I could uninstall everything and then do a reinstall, but I don't want to make that investment yet...

Error 7 means "file not found". From the source of the error, it looks like there something wrong with your LV installation.

Try dropping Set Busy.vi in a diagram. It should be in the Application Control>>Cursor palette.

If you can't drop or use it, then you need to find it and reinstall it. You can probably find it in your LabVIEW CD, but I would suggest simply trying a repair from the installation program.

The Set Busy.vi in the cursor menu was indeed missing.  I repaired LabVIEW 7.1 installation and the vi reappeared.  The application builder now works.  Now all I have to do it figure out what causes the C++ debug error when I run the executable!  But that's another thread.

Thanks for you help everyone.
