Solution
You can use Application Builder to combine your custom .πππ file with the default π΄π‘ππππππππ π½πππ.πππ file into a single .πππ file. You must have your custom .πππ file saved in the project in order to add it, as shown in the photo below.

Next, follow the steps below to accomplish combining the .πππ files.
- Right-click on your executable build specification and select Properties.
- In the properties window, select the Advanced category.
- In the configuration file in project section:
3.1. For LabVIEW 2010 and later: Check
Use Custom Configuration file
3.2 Prior to LabVIEW 2010: Uncheck the box next to
Use the default LabVIEW Configuration file (LabVIEW.ini)

4. In the
Select Project File dialog, either select the custom .πππ file if it is in your project or click
Add... to browse for it.
5. If you are using Configuration File I/O VIs from the palette below:

Ensure that all of your configuration file accesses within your application point to the new location which is at the same level as the executable, as shown below:

6. Rebuild the application.
7. Note the name of the π΄π‘ππππππππ π½πππ.πππ file generated from the build. You might need to rename the file generated to match the name of the .πππ file referenced by your LabVIEW code in the πΎπππ π²πππππ π³πππ.ππ as shown above. After renaming the π΄π‘ππππππππ π½πππ.πππ file generated, the final result should look like this:
