error 42 create folder

[Der_schorsch]

Hi everybody,

Test System is WinXP with LV8.2.

In the course of the vi I dynamically load VIs, create folders etc without a hitch. However after compiling to an executable,  I get error 42 when creating a folder or an error 8 when trying to open a vi reference.

Help would be much appreciated

Hi Schorsch,

are you sure that your paths are correct? If you build an executable, then the function "getcurrentvi´spath" gives following back. C:\your.exe\your.vi.

Hope it helps.

This, this and this may help.

I have a little sub VI I always use when opening/creating files/folders. Gives a relative path to the file. (It's in 8.5 can save for something else if you need.)
