33 ini Keys

The LabVIEW.ini file contains configuration settings for how the LV IDE behaves. The file is located in the LV installation directory next to the `LabVIEW.exe`.

Suppress popups

Use the following INI tokens (LabVIEW.ini) to suppress popups and auto-reporting errors:

  NIERShowFatalDialog = 0 
  NIERFatalAutoSend = true 
  NIERNonFatalAutoSend = true 
  NIERShowNonFatalDialogOnExit = false 
  NIERSendDialogClose = true autoerr = 3 
  DWarnDialog = false 
  AutoSaveEnabled = false 
  AllowMultipleInstances = true 
  promoteDWarnInternals = false

Remove "(no error)" from labels

From LabVIEW 2020 onwards, it's possible to suppress “(no error)” in error cluster labels when created via the right-click option “Create Control”. Add the following line to the LabVIEW.ini.

NI.LV.RemoveNoError=True

App (*.exe) INI

When building an executable (EXE-file) it comes with an INI-file of the same name (e.g. “My-App.exe” and “My-App.ini”). This INI-file contains several configuration options regarding the LabVIEW runtime environment in which the application is executed.

Run the same app in multiple instances

Normally, you can run a LabVIEW executable only once at a time. It's possible to change this behavior by adding the following line to the INI-file:

allowmultipleinstances = TRUE
