creating an EXE in 6.1 previously saved in 6i

[Edge]

I developed an LLB in LabVIEW 6i and I opened and saved the top level of that LLb in 6.1, when I tried creating an EXE from 6.1, an error came up;

'Generic file I/O error occured VI library 'internal.llb' could not be saved!!
LabVIEW save error code 48: Could not move temporary file to destination'

when I press on ok, a dialogue box appears asking me to select a directory where I want to save the run time menu internal.llb, when I select one of the folders in C:\temp, it saves the llb but then pops up with another message saying 'Error 7 occured at librarian get info.vi-file could not be found
LabVIEW file not found or NI-488 non-existent board'

I know (or atleast assume)that this error was caused by me saving the
llb I created in 6i in to 6.1 and then trying to create an EXE from 6.1, the LLb has more than 200 vi's in it as well. Does anyone no a way around this?

You could always make a copy of the libray, do a mass compile on it and then use the converted version to build your app.

I would add that I would first use the library manager to convert the LLB to a directory of individual VIs. Get rid of any VIs,.lsbs that were in vi.lib so that you are using the newer 6.1 functions.

excellent point...

Dennis and Mike, great answers. Following on their ideas; Edge, you could open the top level VI in LabVIEW 6.1 and then save with options, saving it as a new development distribution to a new location. This would provide you with a new llb with all the VIs in LabVIEW 6.1 and would address the issues Dennis mentioned.
