include 'useLocaleDecimalPt=False' in .ini file of .exe

[Frank_Mathijs]

Hey, when building an executable of my software, I always have to manually include the 'useLocaleDecimalPt=False'-line in the ini file of the exe. It's important this is done, to avoid problems with the data in Matlab, but because our software is still evolving, lots of versions are made and thus an automated inclusion of this line in the ini file would be very handy. Is this possible and how? Thanks

Hello,

In labview options, you can unselect "use localized decimal point". Isn't this enought?

See where it is, on the attached picture.

Well, we would use the executable on machines with only the RunTimeEngine installed, so, unless i'm mistaken, i can't uncheck that box on those machines. And it seems that when an exe is build with a Labview install with that option disabled, I still have to explicitly include that line in the ini to make sure no comma's are used as decimal seperator.

This can be done as well be changing the language settings on those machines, but people (read: I) tend to forget that after a clean install (with an image with language settings to dutch, belgium).

Is this a better explanation of my 'problem'?

Hi Frank,

when building an app you can include your own ini-file! So edit the ini file once and include it in your project. Then edit the app-building settings to include that ini-file the next time...

Aha, wonderful!
Thanks, that saves me a lot of copy/pasting.
Now I can't believe I didn't figure that out myself...

Thanks again!
Frank
