Exe File structure Changed

[ASTDan]

Hello,

I just wanted to share something I just came accross in LabVIEW 2009.

In the past if you created an executable and you used the Current VI's Path you needed to strip off the executable name when you used the Current VI's Path VI  in your executable.

Well in LabVIEW 2009 NI has changed the file structure for executables.  The write up can be found here.

So if you made a little VI that stripped off the exe name you will now have to modify it to conform to the new file format.  Or you can check the "Use the LabVIEW 8.x File Layout" Property in the application builder.
