Solution

This issue may happen when selecting an invalid or no certificate at all in the Signing Information. In order to solve this, please do the following.
  1. Go to Build >> Target Settings and then you can go to Signing Info.

2. Select a valid certificate by clicking on one of the certificates shown in the dialog and click OK. This list displays certificates that are installed in the My certificate store. LabWindows/CVI supports signing only with certificates installed in the My certificate store.

If you do not need to sign your application, you could also uncheck the Sign Application box in the Signing information section.
