why do I get Error 42 when I build a RT-exe with numbers in the Target file?

[kein]

ok, I will do a repair of my RT Installation. There seems to be something wrong with it.

Without changes I can also build an executable with it. But then I changed the name to only startup.rtexe, made a build (this worked), changed it back to startup1.rtexe, and the error 42 appeared again...

Thank you very much for your help so far.

Your're welcome. And please post back with if it's not working, and also if it's working (what I hope it will).

I repaired my RT Module, but I'm still getting the Error 42 as before.

Any ideas what else I can try?

[Christian Mergl]

Could you try once to set the destination path of your build directly to C:\

No this also doesn't work.

I also found out that startup is the only acceptable name for a Target filename. I can't rename it to something like application.rtexe, otherwise error 42 occurs again.

[Christian Mergl]

I think I was not clear enough with my last suggestion.

In the build settings, please set the "Local destination path" under the Information Category to "C:\"

Where you able to build it now with the changes suggested my by last post?

sorry for the late reply, I was in vacation the last 3 weeks.

Building the RT exe under c:\ doesn't work for me. But I think this time the IT of our company blocked me from creating any files on c:\:

Fehler 8 ist bei Öffnen/Erstellen/Ersetzen einer Datei in RTBEP_Generate_Deploy_Instructions2.vi->AB_RTEXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller aufgetreten

Mögliche Ursachen:

LabVIEW:  Dateiberechtigungsfehler. Sie haben nicht die erforderlichen  Zugriffsrechte für die Datei.

C:\depinstr.bin

C:\ is not necessary.

We just want you to specify a "short" build path, so the whole path should not have more then 99 characters.

Can you test this?

I tested and it almost works.

I changed the path to something like C:\RTexe, and with this path I can build my RT executable with any name I like (with numbers, whitespace etc.).

But here is the caveat: I am not allowed to use startup.rtexe as my target filename. If I build my target as startup.rtexe (this works), I afterwards cannot change the target filename to something else. This always produces the error 42 in the build process (with any name other than startup.rtexe). 

A workaround to this problem is to then delete the complete folder C:\RTexe. Then I can again build my target with any name I like.

I hope someone can confirm this problem.
