"Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node..." when attempting to open .vi for editing

I am attempting to open a vi for editing, and instead the vi is attempting to execute.  I get the error:
 "Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node in BuildTargetBuildSpecification.vi->BuildXFS.vi"    
Possible reason(s):   LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.
Method Name: Project: Open
When I close the Error Message dialog, Labview terminates.

Hi R.Jay,
Error 7 generally occurs when trying to create an executable when there is an extra instance of a top-level vi.  You may need to remove the file as a support file (but leave it as the top level vi).
Are you trying to run an executable that has already been created?  Unless you have already built an executable, it should not automatically run when opened.  Also, was it built in a previous version of LabVIEW?  Sometimes this error can be seen when you upgrade to a newer version without compiling.

  • An error occurred in lock management when attempting to set a lock on table

    Hi All,
    I am getting the error 'An error occurred in lock management when attempting to set a lock on table SWWWIHEAD.'
    Sometimes the workitem is not created by the Workflow due to above error & this happens rarely but keeps coming.
    cany anyone guide or help me how to correct this problem.Is it happening due to my custom code making locks on the above table?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pls do reply

    I think you should not use any code to lock the table SWWWIHEAD.  Please let us know why you are writing code to put lock on this table.
    Thanks

  • Build error after upgrading from 8.2.1 to 8.5 "Error 1055 occurred at Invoke Node..."

    After upgrading to 8.5, I'm getting the following error when trying to build an EXE:
    Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:

    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  Object reference is invalid.
    I have been building this application for both Windows and Mac OS, and I even get the same error when building the .app on an Intel Mac.
    Things that I've already tried:
    * Mass-compiling all my code
    * Created the project from scratch
    * Enabled each panel of the "diagram disable structure" one at a time and compiled again
    Any ideas?

    Hi Travis,
    Ben’s advice if definitely the best place to start. Error 1055 is a very general LabVIEW error for “Object reference is invalid.” The cause is usually a bad install where important LabVIEW function aren’t placed in the right directory or aren’t installed at all.

  • Error 1003 occurred at Invoke Node

    Good morning.
    I work with LW8.5 and created with the following architecture:
    There is main.vi on the links at the user's calls and runs the other VI.
    That is, not directly, these are not included in the VI block diagram main.vi.
    In the development of a happening in normal mode, all dynamically called VI,
    But once I make EXE, when you try to call the dynamic VI error 1003.
    Error 1003 occurred at Invoke Node in Main.vi
    Possible reason (s):
    LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Open the VI in LabVIEW using File>> Open and verify that it is runnable.
    VI Path: C: \ Shaikov \ Labwiev \ builds \ NSIAES \ Initialsettings \ Initialsettings.vi
    Show you how to act?
    Thank you.

    Hello margasan.
    In my Projects I use to pass more dynamic and VI classes.
    In the attached file - an example of my project:
    In the main folder is a folder UpperClass, it is the parent class and child classes and HeirClass.lvclass Heir2Class.lvclass are organized into folders respectively Plugin1 and Plugin2, and these Classes inherit from the parent one and the same WI - UpperClassTest.vi. Plus, this Plugin1 has two, independent from the others, but related classes. A block diagram for an object placed Core.vi UpperClass.
    So, here, if you take EXE, making llb files and run them from start VI for each of the Plugin, then everything works OK.
    But as soon as I on the block diagram of a Plugin will put any object UpperClass, or one of its nasalednikov, there arises a familiar ERROR 1003. Prompt, plc, margasan I get rid of it in this case?

  • Error 8 occurred at Invoke Node in AB_EXE.lvc​lass:Build​.vi- AB_En​gine_Build​.vi- AB_Bu​ild_Invoke​.vi- AB_Bu​ild_Invoke​.vi.ProxyC​aller

    Hi there,
    Hope someone can help me.  I recently upgraded to LV 8.5 and am having a problem building a .exe which has a subvi in it that opens in a new dialog window.  When I try to build this I get the following error:
    Error 8 occurred at Invoke Node in AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Bu​ild_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
    Possible reason(s):

    =========================
    NI-488:  DMA hardware error detected.

    I have built the .exe with the same subVi but without opening it in a dialog window and it works fine., so the problem seems to be linked to the inclusion of the dialog window.
    Any advice greatly appreciated
    Regards
    Tadhg

    UPDATe:  I can get the .exe to build but now I get an error when I run teh .exe which is shown in the picture attached.

    During software build to make exe file, I got the following error message:

    The vi was working fine before the build. It just access some text files and creates some excel files. No hardware is involved. See if anybody know how to solve this problem. Thanks.

    I am using LabVIEW 2014 and have been getting this error randomly, but fairly consistently on a recent build. I searched all over and could not find a solution that worked. However, just through trial and error I discovered that the problem is related to SSE2 Optimization in the Advanced properties window. I can consistently cause this error by enabling this feature and consistently compile successfully when it is disabled. Try turning this feature off and see if it solves the problem.
    ...UPDATE: After closing and re-opening LabVIEW this error came back, and did not seem to be affected by the SSE2 option. Not that it isn't related, but perhaps not the silver bullet I thought it was.
    I also got the error to go away sometimes when I compiled the EXE while the main program VI was open, whereas it gave the error most of the time when no VIs were open...again, nothing seems to consistently solve the problem...there is definitely some kind of bug in the appllication builder, and it seems like there are a lot of people that have been struggling with this for a long time (as far back as LV 8)...hopefully NI eventually finds this bug and squashes it!..although, I doubt that anybody at NI is even looking for it...

  • Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node in AB_EXE.lvclass

    I get the "Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node in AB_EXE.lvclass" error when trying to build an executable in Labview 8.5.1.  I can run the application without any errors but when I try to build the executable, I get the error.  I have tried a mass compile of the project, tried ctrl + shift + run on the top level vi, and tried to mass compile the folder where the project is located and nothing seems to help. I have also looked at the project dependencies for conflicts and found none.  I have made a new project and tried to build an executable from this same code without any luck.  How can I get this to build an executable?
    The exact error is:

    Possible reason(s):

    Are you using the Report Generation Toolkit?  A lot of error 7's during builds seem to be related to this toolkit.  Any dynamically called VI's?
    Take a look here and here.
    Also search the forums for "error 7" and you'll find some other threads related to error 7 and the application builder.

    Hey Clement,
    Which version of LabVIEW are you using? There some knowledgebases out there that address the issue. Click here for the first KB or here for the second one. Hopefully these would help.

  • Error 1172 occured at invoke node

    Hello
    I am new to Labview and object oriented programming. I have an already written c# code which communicates with a digital I/O card attached to a test system. I want to run those c# functions in labview. I am using .NET constructor pallett and then invoke node but I am receiving following Error:

    The clue is in the 'A connection to the device has not been established'. You are trying to reset the device - presumably without having first configured the appropriate parameters or opened connection to it so the library is probably throwing that error.

  • Error 6 occurred at invoke node in dist build app

    Error 6 occurred at Invoke Node in Dist Build App from LLB.vi->Dist Build App Image.vi->Build Application.vi
    Possible reasons:
    LabView: Generic file I/O error
    or
    NI-488: I/O operation aborted
    Version 6.0.2

    I noticed that you updated your system to 6.0.2. A couple things to check on that may remedy the problem.
    1)Did you install the application builder after upgrading your system to 6.0.2? You will want to install the application builder 6.0 first, and then add the 6.0.2 update to the whole system.
    2)Have you mass compiled all of your VIs since the upgrade? You will want to make sure that all of your VIs are in 6.0.2 format before trying to build them into an executable.

    The datatypes of your controls don't match. In the subVI you have a U8. In the parent VI the slider is a DBL. Change the slider's datatype to a U8. You should also make sure you have a valid range on your slider. In the subVI you're subtracting 8 from the input value, so it seems you're wanting a control with a minimum value of 8.

    This is most likely coming from the specific file it mentions in the error, Dist Send Result File To RT.vi. The error 6 means the file can't be found. One thing to try first is to add this VI as a Dynamic VI in Application Builder. Another option is to change the path that this VI is invoked from, or is not called by an Invoke Node at all.
    I hope this helps, feel free to contact support if the problem continues.
