Compiling batch ready executables

[Ian Brooks]

Is there a way to compile true batch ready executables from
labwindows/CVI projects? We are able to compile a version that runs
from a dos prompt, but for it to execute the cvirte directory path
must be present so that the GUI resource files can be found. This is
a major drawback in our environment where we need to avoid having to
create direcory structures and in which we will NEVER run in GUI mode.

Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,

If I understand you correctly - you're trying to run a CVI built executable in a batch ready fashion from a command prompt, and that since you're not using a GUI in your application, you're looking for a way to avoid using GUI resource files. The issue is that the cvirte contains more than just GUI resource files, and you'll need it if you want to distribute an application created in CVI. The cvirte directory path also has to exist, because cvirte is required for functionality. So if I understand your question correctly, you'll need the directory structure and cvirte. I hope this helps Ian, good luck with your application.
