Name collision error occurs when building executable

Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Application Builder
Primary Software Version: 8.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development System

Problem:
When building an executable I get the following error: LabVIEW prevented a file name collision during the build. Duplicate file names cannot be copied to the same destination. You can rename files as part of the build process to avoid name conflicts. How do I solve this name collision?

Solution:
The name collision error occurs because when LabVIEW is creating the executable it finds two VIs with the same name. This can sometimes occur if VIs from two IVI drivers are being used because IVI drivers often have similiar VI names such as Initialize.vi, Error.vi, Close.vi, etc. In order to fix this name collision error one of the IVI driver's VIs need to be renamed. The easiest way to do this, in LabVIEW 8.0 and later, is in the Project Explorer expand the Dependencies folder. Then if IVI drivers are in use, expand the instr.lib folder to access the VIs of the different IVI drivers. Here you can right-click and rename the conflicting VIs.
