Cannot get installed application to work

Question

Hello,
I have been fighting an issue for days now where my LabVIEW application will not work correctly when installed as an executable.
Everything works as expected as a labview project. I tried to build an executable and installed it on a seperate machine. That did not work.
I also tried installing the application on the same PC that I developed the software and it also does not work.
I have a program that runs external VI's. The top level VI begins by running an external VI in a seperate folder using the Open VI by Reference.
The Open VI by Reference fails in Image 1.
I am debugging the VI that is being called. If I comment out parts of it, the VI will successfully work. See the attached image of the sub VI that I have commented out.
The thing is the items I comment out seem relatively simple and doesn't make any sense.
Has anyone had similar installation issues? Is there any advice?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Yes, I broke the VI down to it's basic components. Those are pretty basic parts, not sub-vi's.
At the smalllest level of this particualr crash, I have some control inputs, some simple case statements, and some simple indicators. There are no sub-vi's in this function, only labview code. I would expect this sort of function to work correctly. Yet if this function is enabled, my VI fails to run. This is just one example, there are other parts of my code with similar issues I have disabled as well.
Yes, I CAN remove the VI from my code. BUT, this is but one VI in my project that is called. There are other VI's that I have to call and run that have yet to be executed.
I cannot remove every single subvi. I need to identify the cause so my entire project doesn't become a patchwork of disabled VI's.
AGAIN it works perfectly fine as an labview project. As an executable, on the SAME PC, the code does not execute.
I will work with tech support to resolve this. Maybe they will be less sarcastic.
