error 7 during assemble test Vis for runtime distribution

[mbuttman]

I get this error when assembling VIs for Runtime Dist. Probably can't find a file but which Vi is the problem? I tried to open diagram for TestStand - Call Package VIs for Distribution.vi to find the problem vi but it is password protected.

mbuttman,

Have you tried mass compiling the VIs that your sequence uses? To do this in LabVIEW, go to Tools >> Advanced >> Mass Compile and point it to the directory or directories that contain the VIs that are called by your sequence. Pay attention the to error log on the Status tab - make sure everything mass compiles okay.

The code was written in LV 6i and I mass compiled it using LV 7. I was able to assemble for distribution in TS 2.0 but I received an runtime error (VI not executable). I figured that since this code was saved as an llb with vi.lib included I had to remove the vi.lib VIs and reload th source in LV 7.0. I deleted a needed control when I did this and that was what was missing. I included the missing control and was able to assemble my VIs for runtime distribution. One question remains... During a mass compile shouldn't the vi.lib VIs be replaced by the newer versions?

mbuttman,

Yes they should if you have opened and saved the updated VIs in LabVIEW (mass-compiled in LV 7.0). The vi.lib LLBs themselves won't be included because the Deployment Tool in TestStand 3.0 removes all VIs from LLBs for distribution; but the VIs inside of the vi.lib LLBs will be included individually.
