how can I disable the internet ( DNS server ) contact for an executable generated in LV?

I think you understand but I want to clarify the language.

You can disable the NI service locator but you can't yet disable LabVIEW trying to connect to it when LabVIEW initializes.

Unfortunately there isn't a switch to disable it. I agree that this behavior is annoying. I will have this bug fixed in the next major release of LabVIEW.

Nathan,

Is this fixed in LabVIEW 2009?

Thanks,

Sigh. Unfortunately it is not.

Due to unforseen circumstances my changes were not integrated as expected.

I can't beleive that I made this first complaint to this board on this firewall subjext over 2 years ago.

First NI claimed ("proven veteran's") that there was no problem,

Now, 2 years later, you say it is a problem, but cannot be fixed.....

And you wonder why people leave your platform.....

Thanks for all the hard work on this issue skyler. I assume you are not an NI employee....

Is it possible to add an entry to the "LabVIEW 2009 Known Issues", under category "Building and distributing" or "labVIEW enviroinment"?

(http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9951)

I think this problem needs to be officially placed there, because in that issues list there are both bugs and other problems/strange behaviours.

While the request for NIServiceLocator everytime and without disabling option is not a bug "per se", I see this as an error in the engineering of Labview.

It is a fact that I don't need NIServiceLocator for every exe I build, and it is a fact that this behaviour is not requested everytime by programmers.

Nathan,

Is this going to be integrated in the next LabVIEW release?

Thanks,

Tying up loose ends.

This bug was fixed in LabVIEW 2010. Two years ago.

A built executable will no longer clear the service locator when it launches. Instead it will wait until the service locator is used before it clears out stale entries.
