System Exec VI fails after compiled into .exe

[R18007]

Hello all, I have created a simple vi that will run notepad and open a .txt file. It also runs an executable that uploads the data from the .txt file to a database. It works fine on the development machine in both ide mode and as an executable. I install the build onto another computer and once installed, proceed to run the executable and the vi runs but it seems the command prompt never gets called.

I can open the command prompt and run the commands and they work just fine.

C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe

cmd /c C:\specsheetsConsole\build\exe.win-amd64-3.6\labviewdbupload.exe

Is there any ideas that could help with this issue?

Well, what's the difference between the computers (OS version, etc.)?

Does it work better if you run the exe with admin privileges (right-click... run as administrator)?

Set the Working directory of System Exec to the called .exe's folder.

Thank you Yamaeda. I had hard coded the "Working directory" variable in the sub vi then used the sub for another call.
