CVI 2013 executable does not exist?

[ElectroLund]

Ocassionally, I get teh following error on some (not all) of my CVI 2013 projects:

"the specified executable does not exist"  See the attachment.  If I simply make the project again (or again), the error eventually resolves itself.  Any ideas?

Greetings.

When you say that you make the project again, are you talking about recompiling/rebuilding?

Sorry, yes that's what I meant.  I simply CTRL+M or enter Debug repeatedly and the problem goes away.

When does the error get thrown? Also, is your data being stored locally or on some sort of network location?

Hi ElectroLund,

Are your project files on a network location? If you get this error in the future, can you check whether a built executable exists in project folder? 

Thanks,

Daniel

Thanks guys,

So I am working locally.  I check out my project to a local folder from our SVN.

The error first is thrown when I click the Debug green icon.  I simply click it again and usually by the second time it builds correctly.

For what it's worth, I don't believe I ever saw this in CVI 2012.  I'm only now seeing it with 2013.

Does this only happen right after you check out your project?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hmm, that's an interesting thought.  I'll pay closer attention, but I don't believe it's that predictable.  It seems to be relatively random.

Ok, after working a few hours on a checked-out project, I can confirm that in about 2 dozen build/debug cycles in a 2 hour period, I had this error one time out of the blue.  It wasn't on a fresh checkout, just right in the middle of my developing.

Hi, all,

I'm facing this same problem (but very rarely) - and I suppose this is and I suspect that it is associated to multicore processor configuration of local machine.

Changing from dual-core (HP 8530p) to new DELL Vostro 3560, i7-3612QM @ 2,1 GHz I encounter this and also another weird behaviour (e.g.).

Have no idea to overcome this.
