Phantom files

In the deployment tool I turned on remove unused VI components and it get the warning below. I searched for the files listed and found them in the recycle bin and so dumped it. Now a search of the C drive does not find these files. Why am I getting the warning, are they listed in an lvlib or some such?

 

thanks,

jvh

 

 

Warning: The following VI(s) have characters in their names that are not valid for VIs that are not within an LLB.  These VIs have been copied from their source LLB into Illegalfilenames.llb instead of being copied as separate VIs into SupportVIs:
Not A Telnet Connection?.vi
HTTP Point In Polygon?.vi
HTTP Standalone?.vi
HTTP Show GWS?.vi
Not A Cookie?.vi

I think the files are in an LLB, that is the only way to have VI names that have 'unconventional characters'  I find this present in mainly older instrument VIs and such...  With the latest NI drivers I do not see these odd filecharacters in many of the VIs...

 

As the message indicates:

 

"These VIs have been copied from their source LLB into Illegalfilenames.llb instead of being copied as separate VIs into SupportVIs:"

 

I get this message periodically because there was an OLD switch VI called 'niSwitch Can Connect Channels?.vi'  I simply acknowledge the warnings and move on... 

 

You can avoid this by setting the LabVIEW Options within the deployment utility to be an LLB destination instead of the just the SupportVIs directory.

 

Thanks,

PH
