compile exe choke

I am trying to compiile an exe.  After I hit hit, I see the process bar, but the progress bar doesn't change.  It is as though the build process is choked.  What can I do?

Hello,

Could you create a new project and build a very basic application (as simple as an addition or a VI from the Example Finder)?  Please let us know if you are able to build this Test project.

The next resources are recommended when you are building applications; please take a look to the check list.

Are you sure it's not building?  Sometimes it can look like nothing is happening if you have a very large build or you are building something on a network drive.  I remember thinking one of my builds wasn't working, but after a few aborted tries, I just let it go and walked away.  When I came back about 5 minutes later, it was done.

Installers take foreveer to build but they do finish. (finally)

I found the problem.  The pre-build vi was trapped in an infiinite loop.  After I fixed that, the problem was resolved.
