Actor Create Executable Anomally

Question

Hi,
I have a horrible feeling I'm going to look really stupid after posting this, but if I'm doing something really obvious and wrong then I'll take that over the struggle I'm currently having getting an Actor Framework to run as an executable!
I have built an Actor Framework application that relative to some of the ones I've done before is incredibly simple, and in fact I've stripped everything back to having a VI that launches an actor with the front panel shown an overridden core that displays a boolean button connected to an LED on the front panel - simples, but it doesn't work (see picture).
It's fine in development mode, but built into an executable the launcher VI runs, but fails to launch the Actor.
Here's what I've tried so far :-
Tried LabVIEW 2012 instead of 2013 - doesn't work.
Created a framework from the Alpha and Beta built in template - this builds and works without a hitch.
Tried calling launcher vi by reference - doesn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working, or anything massive that I've totally missed - as said I've done 2 or 3 projects now with Actor with no issues, so I really cannot understand why I should have a problem with this.
Appreciate any ideas for why this isn't working,
Dave

Answer 1

Thankyou both for your suggestions, luckily in the meantime I have sorted out the problem by going back to the Actor template and then changing values until I killed it.
The solution is as follows :-
When you call 'Launch Actor.vi' do not set 'Open Actor Core Front Panel? (F)' to true.
In your overriden Actor Core.vi, go into properties and in Window Appearance customize by setting 'Show front panel when called' and 'Close afterwards if originally closed'.
Thanks again,
Dave
