I can build a RT-exe without numbers in the Target Filename without any problems. As soon as I put a number in the Target Filename, lets say startup1.rtexe, I get the following error: Fehler 42 ist bei Ordner erstellen in Create Directory Recursive.vi->AB_Destination.lvclass:Create_Destination.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Create_Destinations.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Create_Destinations.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_RTEXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller aufgetretenMögliche Ursachen:LabVIEW: Allgemeiner Fehler.C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\es-enn-extern1\Eigene Dateien\300. Programme\c\ni-rt\startup\startup.rtexe\LabVIEW 2009 I use LV 2009, and I can't remember having this problem with LV 8.2 or 8.6. This made it a bit hard for me to figure out where the problem might be. Now I would like to use numbers in the Filename (e.g. version1.0.rtexe, version1.1.rtexe...). Any ideas how to make this work?

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

Solved!

Kein,

Our investigations came to other results, because of that I told you to use less then 99 characters.

If you try to build a RT application on a RT target with very long names for the path it fails with error 15, when you did not use startup.rtexe
You could use C:\very long path ... with a lot of characters\startup.rtexe and it will not fail.
If you choose C:\very long path ... with a lot of characters\anyname.rtexe it will fail to build with error 15.
It only fails if the hole path has more the 99 characters and the name is not startup.rtexe.

If the hole path without the application name is not longer then 99 characters you can use any name you want.

This is reported in CAR #200328 and should be fixed with one of the next LV RT Versions.
