Builder doesn't seem to work?

[ThijsBoeree]

Hi,

I've a big application and now i want to build it, when i have all the settings filled in, i push build, in the taskmanager i see the memory labview is using rise to 1,6 Gb then boom, the build status says it's done but when i push "explore" i'm directed to an emty folder and when i click "done" my project hangs...?

what is wrong? i include an ini file, but that wouldn't cause this?

Regards,

Thijs

Impossible to say without seeing at least a bit of your code -- or failing that, how about some information like what version of LV? What OS? What drivers are you using? Have you been able to build other applications? Have you been able to ever build this application?

Thanks for your quick response:

Labview version 2013 latest patch
Platform windows 7 latest updates
I also use nidaqmx 9.8
I have build a working exe before (but this was 2 weeks ago) and i have added some sub vi's

And this is exactly what happens:
I push the build button and it says initializing... and then after a certain time the done button and the explore button lights up. And the whole thing hangs...

I have alot of code, somewhere around 200 vi's

Best regards,

So the only external drivers of any sort is DAQmx?

Do you still have an archive of the project before the changes that you can try building?

If you build a small application that just does something simple like return a random number, does that work?

Have you added or changed anything on the computer in the last two weeks?

I'll have to check this monday...

I have done a whole new install of labview recently. But that shouldn't cause this...?
I'll try to make a simple exe coming monday.

If something went wrong during the install, you bet your life it could cause this!

I tried it on another PC with another install of Labview, same problem... I also tried to make a small program where a for loop fills an array. Then when i make an executable out of it it works great.

I really don't have clue? Is there a sub VI limit? I use around 130 sub VI's in my application and when it loads the first time the number of vi's loaded are around 500...

No, there is no VI limit.

After several updates for windows 7 it just works?? I realy don't understand...

Again, if windows was badly out of date there could be a piece missing that the builder needed when creating larger applications. But hey, you can't argue with success.
