error 8 creating LVSB resource file

[JarleEkanger]

Hi folks,

I've aquired a tablet running Windows 8 for trying out possible customer UI solutions. In this initial phase I want to run compiled executables on it, and thus have only installed the Run-Time Engine 2012, both 32bit and 64bit versions. 

When I try to run a VI that was compiled on my main computer, which runs Win7 and LV12, I get the error mentioned in the subject of this post:

error 8 creating LVSB resource file

Anyone encountered this and found a solution? Please embarrase me if it's dead simple 😉

Kind regards,

Jarle

First of all let me offer you my condolences for getting a Windows 8 tablet...

On to serious matters, I haven't done the specific thing you are trying, but Error 8 is a permissions error. It sounds like you perhaps do not have adequate permissions to create the file you are trying to generate. What are the permissions on the destination directory? Or perhaps you can't access a file that is needed in the process. What exactly does the error message say?

yes, the error message box displays the text:

error 8 creating LVSB resource file

I also got this error running a runtime version of LabVIEW 2011 through a third party program called JTAG Provision.

I found that with two similar PC setups it would occur on one but not the other.

I think it may be down to OS related admin privileges?

Could you figure-out where it is trying to create the resource file?

Is there a way to find out where it is attempting to create the resource file?

Hello keshavanbp,

The following article details a way of checking the directory when running the development environment:

If the error is occurring when you run a LabVIEW executable then I would recommend running it as an administrator to see if this resolves the problem; as mentioned before this is a permissions issue.

If you need more assistance, I would recommend creating a new thread for this question. It's unlikely that the previous posters will recall the answer even if they do respond, so creating a new thread will make this issue much more visible and will help others with the same issue in the future.
