Project Path & Compile VI

[aderogba]

A VI program which includes code from Programmatically find file paths of items in a LabVIEW project works fine when run from LabView Development environment. However, when the VI is compiled, the path returns empty values. My question is what is the explanation for the diferent behaviour? Thanks.

When you say "when the VI is compiled", do you mean built into an .exe?

That zip file looks for file path for a project.  When  you compile the project into an .exe and run it from there, it is no longer a project.  The project doesn't exist as far as the .exe is concerned.

What are you really trying to do?
