I recently ported an app from 7.1 to 8.5 where (in 7.1) I created an exe with loadable modules using the save instrument method of a vi reference. The module is defined as the top level VI and all VIs that it references not included in the EXE.
In 8.5 it errors out. the VIs in vi.lib have the saveas greyed out (same issue). How do I implement the same functionality that I had in 7.1? I know it has to do with lvlib, but not sure where to go.
What you may want to do is open up a blank project in LabVIEW 8.5 and gradually add all your VIs underneath My Computer. After you verify that all the VIs are working in 8.5, you can then build an executable. Be sure all your sub VIs are included. Because the project was not in LabVIEW 7, this can make your transition of a large application more extensive.
If you are new to using the project feature in LabVIEW, please see this document.
sorry if I was not clear. I am not having a problem building the EXE. I am having a problem with building the loadable modules using the SaveInstrument method of VI server on some of the VI's in vi.lib.
