I can start my vi but executable asking for sub-vi when it starts

[mchips]

My vi starts right up but when I created an executable it ask for sub vi's when it starts. What's the progblem?

We are not mind readers. What subVI is it asking for? Is this a VI that ships with LabVIEW? Is this a VI that you wrote? Is this a VI that you're calling dynamically? If so, did you include it in the "dynamically called VIs" list? What LabVIEW version are you using? What's in your project?

Is it an executable you built from your VI?
Did you make an installer so that all dependencies (including necessary subVIs) are installed?

[Broken_Arrow]

Maybe you are using VI's which are called dynamically? If so, you have to include them in the "Always Included" section of Source Files when making the Build Spec.

Also, path constants can get you into trouble with EXE's, like Default Directory path and Current VI's Path.

I don't think they are called dynamically..

How do you make installer? Doesn't it ha[[en automaticcaly when you create an executable? I'm using 2009.

Don't you know? Didn't you write the code?

No. An application is separate from an installer. The installer ... installs the application. The process of creating an application and an installer are fully documented in the LabVIEW Help. Please read that first and then come back if you have specific questions.

I didn't write that portion...

No, just because it makes an executable does not mean you have a complete installer.

An installer has:
- the executable

- the run-time enginer

- dependencies

If you do not create an installer, you will only have one of the three necessary components

Well, we're still not mind readers, and you still haven't given us any more useful information, such as what VI(s) it's looking for. Unless you can look at the code yourself and determine whether the VIs are being called dynamically then post the code.
