Problem building application using Report Generation Toolkit, LV 2011

[mws64]

Julian,

See attached pictures.

It doesn't matter whether or not I "Always Include" the two folders shown. I have the same problems.

Nor does it matter whether or not I "Always Include" the two dynamic VIs. Pathnames to those two VIs are hardcoded, anyway.

Thanks again!

i had similar issues using the report tool kit to geneterate a word template report.

the solution was to include the class in there...

i made some power points slide to not forget how to do it.. it might be something similar to what you have been experimenting.

buton,

Thanks for the suggestion.

When I remove Report Generation functions from my dynamic VI, but still call a couple of functions from the Advanced File Functions palette (File/Directory Info, and Create Folder), I get the same behavior. In a built application, the dynamic VI loads into a subpanel but can't execute.

Originally I thought the problem was specific only to the Report Generation toolkit, but now I think it's deeper--maybe nothing is wrong with NI's application build process itself, but maybe there's a problem with my particular environment. Hopefully the solution is something simple that I've missed. Maybe I'm just omitting some library from my build.

If I can't solve this, I'll have to use some very ugly workarounds.

Hi mws64,

I've opened up your program and built it, and noticed that in development mode the VI's seem to load okay, but then when it's in an executable, they don't.  I tried building it a few different ways and can't seem to get it to work right.  I'm going to keep playing around with this and see what I can figure out.  Let's keep each other informed of our progress.

Julian,

Thanks--you're seeing the same behavior I've seen.

I'll keep trying things too and keep you informed.
