Can't reate EXE in 2009

[Philip2001]

I have to down grade my 2009 version to 8.6 and then I can creat a fully working EXE file. If I compile in 2009, the EXE crashes after I open it? I am sure I am missing a file. If this is the case? What is the name of the file I need. Can I get this file from NI. Or is in one of my DVDS?

Thanks

Philip

Philip,

Does it give you an error message when it crashes and if so, what does it say?

I get a pop up message says some sort of fatal erron the the GUI dissapears back to the desktop view

Philip,

 What I would suggest now is to reinstall CVI 2009. Clearly something crucial is missing and I am not sure what file it is. Unless anyone else has some suggestions?

a very basic suggestion/question: what happens in the debug version? The error you might receive could give you a clue...

Hello Phillip,

I would reccommend you do two things. In your CVI2009 application:

1)   Go to the directory where you have all your application files. Look for the header file "cvidef.h" and delete it.

2)   In your application workspace (.cws), look for "cvidef.h" and also remove from project.

Hopefully this would prevent your application to disappear when you compile and run it.

Thank you.
