So I have made a .dll in LabVIEW that I inted to use in CVI (you can reference this thread for some additional info about it) and it worked just fine on the computer I created it on. Trouble started when I began testing it on other machines. A little background of my set up might be helpful so here it is. I work in a HIL lab and we have a few different test setups including NI, dSPACE, and some proprietary testers. We use CVI to run test scripts and this .dll is used to control relays via USB. The issue I am seeing is something I haven't seen before and am somewhat clueless as how to debug - I think it potentially could be a CVI problem. When this .dll and .lib are added to my project and I set a break point, everything seems to work fine. I step through my code and everyone runs as expected (.dll related functions as well as any other part of the program), but as soon as I hit the "Continue" button or the "Go to Cursor" button CVI freezes and subseqently crashes. The debug .exe stays open (but crashed) and I can't kill the process with Windows - I eventually have to restart the computer. My program will run just fine without break points and will let me step through to the end of the program if I have already set a break point. I have run the same exact project on multiple computers and so far it has only happened with computer that have dSPACE/Matlab software insalled. I'm not sure if that is significant (it shouldn't make a difference) but it's another detail to report. I have tried CVI2013 SP2 on one of the dSPACE computers and that did not help (the rest of the computers still have SP1). I've also looked through my LabVIEW .dll build settings, made adjustments, and rebuilt to see if that would help and it has had no effect. Any input, direction, advice, etc. would be helpful. I'm stumped. Thanks in advance.

CVI2013 crashes when using .dll on some computers

I've never used that utility for and am not exactly sure what I am looking for, but I cannot see any differences between the items in this part of the hierarchy. Is that the area you are referring to, to compare?
