Can't find file when open exe

when i double click on an exe, a dialog will appear to ask me to find a directory.  The title bar says "Please Find Err Called Vis Directory Last@"  I guess it means I need to find the Last@ directory that contains VIs which are called by another VI called Err?  I don't have a directory with a @ in its name.  Any thoughts on that?

That error message looks like gibberish, possibly from a malformed argument.  Certainly, the path gynmastics mentioned by snowmule could be one explanation.

 

Is this your exe? Do you have the source code? Do you get any errors when running in the development system?

The path is correct.  I was just curious about the gibberish.  I deployed it on the real system, and the error disappear.
