method " make current values default "

[faeze]

hello

I use method of "make defult" and it works well but I must build application this vi

when I do this (tools ->build application ...-> installer setting) and  run

show  this error :

Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference in mainpage.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file

 path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use

 \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on UNIX.
I add configure.vi  as dynamic file and when I press configuration buttom and

 then press ok buttom show this error:

Error 1044 occurred at Invoke Node in make defult.vi->mainpage.vi
Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  VI is locked.

please guide me how I can use this method and also make installer file

Thanks alot

Hello,

If you search on this forum "make current value default" you will find at least 10 threads dealing with exactly the same issue. This method does not work in an exe, there is a paper about his in the NI knowledge base.

The solution is to use a configuration file (ini).

Hope this helps

I don't think you will need to upload your VI for this issue, but have a look at the bottom, the "attachment" section lets you select the files you want to upload.
