why do the startup vi and the exe file appear in the taskbar when the exe file is opened?

Hi

I built an exe file and when I open it, the application runs well, but in the taskbar appears the name of the startup vi (PreTesteRumba.vi) and the name of the exe file (Pré-Teste Rumba). When I stop it and then start to run it again, the name of the exe file disappears. I don't really know which name was supposed to appear. In the attachment there's an illustration of it. It's not a big problem but if anyone knows anything about it, I would appreciate to know. Another question, in my installer I had to include the DAQmx library. Is it normal that the installer gets 600 MB? Thank you,

Kind Regards,

Bruno Ponne

There are historic reasons for this.
 
To get rid of it, open the Pré-Teste Rumba.ini file which is in the same folder as the exe and add a section called [Pré-Teste Rumba] to it. Inside that section add the line HideRootWindow=True.
This will get rid of the second window.
