Distributing Custom Error Codes in Text Files

If a VI that you want to distribute as a stand-alone application or a shared library uses custom error codes in XML-based text files, you must distribute those files with your application or shared library.

If you use the Application Builder to create an installer for the application or shared library, the Application Builder prompts you to select the error code text files you want to distribute. The Application Builder also configures the installation subdirectory for the files.

If you use a third-party utility to create an installer for the application or shared library, complete the following steps to distribute error code text files.

  1. Locate the error code text files you want to distribute.
  2. Add the error code text files to the installer.
  3. Configure the proper installation subdirectory for the files.
