Using "build.vi" in a builded application generates error 7

[Gub156]

Hi!

I created an application made to build other LabVIEW applications. To do this, I use the “build.vi” VI in the “Application Builder VIs” palette.

It works perfectly fine when running this application in the development environnement, but an error (7) is generated once the application has been built.

Note that I'm using the same data source (.lvproj) in both scenarios. I've also tried building in different directories, but the error is still there.

I haven't found anything matching on the web so far, which is why I'm creating this post.

Thank you in advance for your support!

The help clearly states that:

Build VI

Owning Palette: Application Builder VIs

Requires: Base Development System

Builds a build specification using the properties in memory that you configure when you right-click a build specification and select Properties. To use this VI, you previously configure the build specification using the Properties shortcut menu option.

You cannot use the Build VI with the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.
