Why does the CVI Build Distribution Kit incorrectly place the Build files in the wrong Directory?

[Farside]

I am using the following server location as the Target Path for my Distribution kit build: "\\glacier\manufacturin\ColumbusTeam\Test Design\Hasa\4.Sw\LpCr_HASA_CVI_Rev_A\project\src-Gene". The Build progresses normally, and the final step brings up the window indicating the Build has been placed in the correct directory folder as listed above. However, the build is actually placed in a newly created folder with the following location: "\\glacier\manufacturin\ColumbusTeam\Test Design\Hasa\4.Sw\LpCr_HASA_CVI_Rev_A\p". Why is this new folder created, what do I need to change in order to have the Target Path correctly specified?

LabWindows has a maximal lengh path. I think ni fix that on 6.0

If you map a network drive on windows (Ex: Z =
\\glacier\manufacturin\ColumbusTeam\TestDesign ) you can now compile into
z:\Hasa\4.Sw\LpCr_HASA_CVI_Rev_A\project\src-Gene

I hope this can help you

I mapped the server, as you suggested and the Kit built to the correct directory. Thanks!!
