Can not create source distribution from project

Question

Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:
Error 1 occurred at AB_Destination.lvclass:Copy_File.vi -> AB_Source.lvclass:Copy_SourceItem.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi -> AB_Engine_Build.vi -> AB_Build_Invoke.vi -> AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW:  An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
=========================
NI-488:  Command requires GPIB Controller to be Controller in Charge.

Answer 1

Hi JoshSat,
This error message can be confusing. Error code 1 is defined by both LabVIEW and GPIB and has a different meaning based on what software component gave the error. Since you receive the error when building a source distribution, it is most likely the LabVIEW error and not the GPIB error.
First, we will need to know more about your application – what it's doing, the version of LabVIEW, the OS version, use of GPIB, use of Shared Variables, etc.  This KnowledgeBase may also provide some insight into the cause of this issue.  
You might want to start out building a much smaller source distribution that can reproduce the same problem. You’re welcome to post that project after you've shrunk it down as much as possible, and I can try to build it over here.
Please let me know if you can provide any additional information on your program, and whether the suggestions provided above fix the problem.
