Build specification freezes when trying to view "Shared Variable Deployment" screen

[NC114]

Labview 2009 f3

For some strange reason, any applications that include shared variable libraries will no longer build into executables.

I was able to build these applications without issue a week ago.  However, when I went to make an updated build today, the build failed and I had to force Labview to close.  When I view the build specification properties, I can navigate through all the option screens except the "Shared Variable Deployment" screen.  As soon as I click on that option, the interface freezes up and I have to force Labview to close.

This problem does not occur for applications that do not include shared variable libraries.

I tried removing the shared variable libraries from the applications that were failing, but that did not correct the issue.

Hi,

If nothing has changed since it did work, it's possible something may have become corrupted.  Have you by chance been able to try a repair install following the steps in the article here?

Hi,

I have the same issue with LV 2009. IAs soon as I click the Shared Variable Deployment in the installer wizard, it just hangs there and you can see in the Windows Task Manager that it is taking more memory and using 1 full CPU at 100%....

I did do a LV repair but it did not solve the issue...

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

I never did find a proper fix to this issue. 

One day I attempted to build the application again, but this time I got distracted doing something else.  When I finally checked the build status a few minutes later I expected it to still be frozen, but to my surprise I found that the application did successfully build.  To this day, that particular application still looks like it is going to lock up, but about about 8 minutes later it finally takes off and builds like nothing was wrong...like every other shared variable application I have created.  So I guess my only suggestion is to let the application sit for a while and see what happens.
