You did not specify any startup VIs

[Ray.R]

I observed a strange behavior this morning while attempting to build an executable. 

It's a very basic exercise...  I didn't expect to see this..  And more strange is the fact no one else reported such an issue.  The topic was searched using the forum search and Google.

As shown below, there is a startup VI.  However, if I remove it, a warning symbol appears when I try to select it again.  There are no obvious error messages.  Nothing to indicate why there is an error or a faulty step...

I am able to run the VI which will be used as the startup VI.

Has anyone experienced this before?  Using LabVIEW 2013 SP1.

Nope never seen this.  Does the Generate Preview work?  I suspect is is a corrupted project file somehow, and making a new project will probably fix this.  I've built EXEs in 2013 SP1 Windows 7 x64 and not seen this issue.

Good morning Hooovahh,

I cam to the same conclusion and that's exactly what I did.  I created a new build specification and it worked.

I suspect a corruption occurred when porting the existing project.

Strange error, which I had never seen before.  It would be useful if some text mentionned that there was a problem.

As mentioned in the thread, create a new project, and add everything again. Basically, start over with a blanc project. Usually, that isn't that much work though, often just a add folder and an add build specification.

I'd try to add a new build specification first though, instead of starting a new project. Hopefully it's just the build spec that's corrupt.

In both cases, I'd inspect the differences in the .lvproj (XML) file to see what was wrong.

Have you tried the steps mentioned above?

• Delete and create a new build spec.
• Or delete the project file and create a new one.

If you have not done these, try them.

If you have, then give more details.  You may want to start your own new thread and reference this thread in your message.
