LabVIEW Project Providers
Project Provider code NOT in the Framework Folder
I have seen lots of references in the documentation and examples that suggest that you put the code for a Project Provider alongside the others in the resource\Framework\Providers folder somewhere. I did get that to work, buuuuuuuut I don't want the code to live there. There are reasons why which I can explain separately, but I am hoping to keep the code elsewhere on disk.
When I move the folder location to some development directory, the project provider is not loading anymore - even when I update the ini file and re-sign it just in case. I am providing the direct path to the Interface for my provider, but it is not loading. Is there something special that you have to do to get it to work from another directory?
I see that JKI's Dragon is putting code outside the Framework folder and it works, but it is in a lvlibp - is that a part of the solution? Or just done so that the block diagrams can be stripped out?
I did end up getting it to work. I think there may have been a broken VI in the group after I moved it.
To make sure it will work outside of the framework directory, make sure you put in the path to the new location and sign the file afterwards. When I signed after the move and made sure everything was unbroken then all my issues have cleared up and it is working well!
