I have used application property node and invoke node to cerate a set of VIs that read and write data to an Excel sperad sheet. This works fine in when running in LabVIEW, however when I run myApp.exe as build from application builder, the data does not get logged to Excel. The file dialog appears to open the XL Spreadsheet but not data gets logged nor is any error reported?
What is going on? All the VI are in the same project folder? Is there some additional addon run-time the must be installed on the target machine? I am uisng LabVIEW 2012 on the development station with Win7 Pro and Office 2010 on both the devleopment station and the target system. Is there one document that describes using Application Builder? It was not clear that I needed both LabVIEW and VISA run-time engines to get my application.exe to run on the target. Is there something simialr I must do to get Office to work as well?

Known bug iirc.
Include the report VI's as an "always-include" in the build spec, might need to plop them into the project explorer first. Been a while since I've run into that problem.

I was finally able to track this back through by starting from scratch and received an error code, which led me to this post:

Deleting the "1.7" items solved the problem.
