Error 7 occurred at Open/Creat​e/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi

Question

I have a .vi that was working fine with Labview 7.0.  I now have upgraded to Labview Professional 8.0, and I am trying to build a stand alone  executable.  When I build the executable, build an installer, and then try to install it on another computer then run it......... I get the "Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi" error.  Any ideas?

Hello,
In addition to the LabVIEW Help, there is an Application Note on Distributing Applications with the LabVIEW Application Builder and a knowledge base article What Is The Build Specification Feature In Application Builder? that might be helpful.
Also, here
is a knowledge base article on what Dennis has described and it
provides an example to call an extra Strip Path function. Also, instead
of using a Match Pattern function, you could use the App.Kind property
node (use Open Application Reference, Property Node: Application ->
Kind, and Close Reference) to determine if you are running in a
Run-time system.
Good luck and best regards,
