Getting a #7 error when dynamically loading a VI using a DLL

Question

Problem invoking a VI dynamically in LabVIEW 7.0.
Example files are attached (simply extract the files
in one directory).
I have a VI, Invoker.vi, that dynamically invokes
another one, Basic VI.vi.
If I use Invoker.vi natively, no problem, everything
works.
Now, I build Invoker.vi as a shared library
(Invoker.dll), and call it from an executable
(CallingLabVIEW.exe, requires .Net Framework 1.1,
you can create your own by simply calling the
long Invoker(LVBoolean *status) method from the DLL).
I get an error:
Open VI Reference in Invoker.vi->Invoker.vi.ProxyCaller
Anyone knows what I may be doing wrong?
I've tried putting the full path name of Basic VI.vi,
same result
Thanks in advance,
phil

Zvezdana,
Thanks for the help, but... ...I had forgotten to mention that I *had* tried adding the VI in the build process. It didn't solve the issue, and in any case having to build with all the dynamic VIs would not be practical for what I'm trying to achieve.
Another note on this matter: I have an application (an EXE) built that calls dynamic VIs without having them included in the build, and that works. I believe adding dynamic VIs to the build is only useful if the dynamic VIs are not going to be deployed with the application otherwise. But, if they are available on the target host at the path specified when you run the application, it should work even if you didn't include them in the build.
Thanks again,
phil
