Please solve this mysterious broken run arrow
In fact, probably 98.7% not SPAM.
Guys and gals...
Here is how to fix your broken arrow. It TOTALLY works if your DEBUGGING VI works!
I tried to delete my original posting above but could not.. Sooo here is more complete info with an image of the Exe builder..
Two of you contacted me and after I said to do this it worked! You can not skip this part...
DO NOT skip this part! This is the MAGIC that makes it work! It shows up at 0:32 in the video!
I did not know how to put this with my reply above... The edit thingey was gone! I will see if I can delete my original one! NOPE.. A Moderator can do that I suppose!
Try this video showing how I fixed this problem!

How to Fix Your LabVIEW Failed to Compile or LabView Broken Arrow on Compile.
If you have a happy vi running in LabVIEW and it has a happy arrow then it SHOULD compile to an executable. RIGHT??!! NOT... Frequently, especially if the project is LARGE, it will not properly compile!
I show you how you can compile EVEN when you have a broken arrow!
When LabVIEW fails on building an executable it sometimes does not show you WHERE the error is. It also tells you that you need files that you are not using! Go figure! This is because some of the files are ignored that should not be ignored.
If you know how to get rid of the nag screen please let me know by sending an email to me at dave.korpi@gmail.com
This is on a Virtual Machine Windows 7 on VMWARE Fusion 6.02 and the bloody Virtual Windows 7 works better on my iMac than it does on the Toshiba Laptop that I cloned it from!
I use the LabVIEW Service Request System and it is COMPLETELY worth the cost. They are EXTRAORDINARY I would say about 98.7% of the time!
BTW: When you do the simple build executable at the end of the video you will get a complete and happy lvproj file that you can do other stuff with. Do not try to re-build a new executable with THAT lvproj. You need to start another one just like I showed. It SHOULD work but it does not. There is some silly bug that does not properly "link" all of the files. So, keep it simple and just do a new one. It is fast and free with the Tools/Build Executable.
