problem with application builder 5

[Emile]

If I create an executable of my VI's (about 40 in total) and I try to start this executable it gives an error because some dll-file (which we self created) are missing. I already tried to put them in the same directory as the executable, this does not help. How can we include (selfmade) dll-files? I am using LV 5.0 and appliciton builder 5.0 on a Win3.1 system (Yeah, I know it's ancient)

Your development system is on Win 3.1? I thought LabVIEW 5 was for 32-bit OS's only.

No, this version (5.0.1) is also for 16-bit. And everything works fine with it, except creating an executable which needs extern dll's. Other executables work fine.

Are you getting the error when you create the executable or when you try to run the executable? Can you tell us the exact error message? Have you gotten it to work in the past?

In later versions of LabVIEW, it is customary to put the dlls in the data folder which is at the same level as the executable. Also to experiment, try putting the dlls in the computer's search path. Generally the root directory is included in the path (c:\). Look in your c:\autoexec.bat file to verify this. This will help rule out path problems.
