Build specification does include all of the files for my VI.

Hello!

As part of a semester project, I have to build a VI to control a filtration unit. The VI works fine on my computer, but I control the next month and I need to send files to a person on the University. The problem is that even if I use the function 'Build Specification' (I use the 2011 LabView professional development system), the files are still missing when the program is started on the new computer. A warning in the project file indicates that the files are missing or removed to another location. A file named pid.lib is not found, and it seems that the path of each file is the same on my computer, but does not change the specification of build that adjust the new computer.

I am a newbe LabView and I have searced this forum and help files to try to solve this problem by myself, but now my time is more limited. Can someone help me with this?

Hi Henrik

You can see what versions of LabVIEW and toolboxes installed in measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). If you MAX Open and select 'my system'--> 'software in the menu of left, then you can see all installed software.

If you click on the installation of LabVIEW. In this case, LabVIEW 2011, you can see all the installed tool boxes.

When you run a LabVIEW project / application on another PC, LabVIEW will use a priority defined in the place where to load the files to. This is specified in Tools--> Options-->--> VI search path Path.

For LabVIEW will be frist was trying to find the VI/VI library in your project folder and if the VI is not located there it will look like for her as a function of generation in vilib, userlib or LabVIEW instrlib files. These files contains VI and VI installed with LabVIEW libraries.

In this case, as mentioned above you correctly do not have the same toolboxes installed on both machines. This is why the PID.lib is not found in the vilib folder as it should be, and so you get the error. You can check by looking at the installed modules, as mentioned above.
