"Build was unsuccessful"- ok last time I built

[wb2nvy]

Please see attached screenshot. Last time I built this executable I had no problem. I made a minor change in one of the subvis and tried to build again and got this problem. What am I doing wrong?

Are you using labVIEW 8.0?

Thanks muks. I have both LV 8.5 and LV2009 on my pc. The build in question was originally built with 8.5, and I used 8.5 to make a minor change, and tried to build again with 8.5 and got the errors. I deleted the project and started from scratch and had a successful build but I'd still like to know what went wrong so I don't encounter that again. The link you sent didn't help me understand what happened, and a link within that link didn't work.

Hey wb2nvy

Have you ever seen this issue arrise in your LabVIEW 2009 Application Builder? I know that there were some issues that were cleared up with Application Builder's stability that were cleared up as recently as LabVIEW 2009 f2 patch.

Also, where the VIs that were not copying included anywhere in your project, or were they seemingly random?

Thanks,

Yes I had a similar problem with LV2009. And in the LV8.5 instance, the problem was with a subvi that was part of the main vi, and included in the project, and was not the vi that I had made changes to.

Ok, were you building the EXE to the same directory that the original was built in? What I'm asking is, are you overwriting the old EXE's directory and running into a Write Protection problem?

Check 2 things:

1) Try building the EXE to a directory other than the one where you were seeing this error pop up.

2) Check the original VIs to see if they have been set to be Read Only.

This issue is probably coming from either the VIs origin or its destination.
