Hello, I have two executables that are part of the same project, here I share the images of the structure of my project, I have the main project which is gefis__application, and I have a second dependent project, whose executable name is: "Claims". It turns out that this is a project that I need to migrate to PB22, and it comes from PB10, but what I can't do is do a correct deploy to the claims subproject, because it gives me the following error " ---------- Deploy: Deploy of aabs (2:58:57 PM)
Invalid executable file name.
---------- Finished Deploy of aabs (2:58:57 PM)
"

Visibly I see the module called gefis_aabs that contains a taget project whose executable file name is claims, how should I fix this?

I already migrated the  gefis__aplication project , converted ok, but when I waht to deploy the subproject tells me the error  "Invalid executable file name". What can be the problem and how to fix it please?

Hi, Albert -

If I may offer a suggestion: The very tall image you included in your post is not readable on my double (side-by-side) monitors... the type size displays very small - Would you please post instead a couple of partial screen shots that show only the pertinent information? Thank you.

Hi Albert;

I see TWO projects - not just one. One for each App EXE.

Regards ... Chris

Hi Albert;

The AABS project's EXE name looks valid. Though there could be a hidden character in the path / Name somewhere (maybe from from a past PB version migration or from a source code repository update). Try removing the entire Path + EXE name from the project. Then enter an App Name EXE only (no path). Save the Project. Then try a "Deploy" again. HTH

Regards ... Chris

Chris , 

I have removed the path, it was wrongly set but still does not move the project on to a good deployment. 

check the attached image and see how I have  configured my project now and I dont know how to fix the error I get after  rebuild the whole project and pressing Deploy, the error is about not  matching the libraries list. 

 

Also I noticed that I dont have in my project a .pbr file for the AABS project, Should I have it ?

Is there a way I can create a .pbr file taking as source the project I already have? Because sadly I dont have the .pbr file in the list of files of my project.

If you can remember what external files the old PBR had, you can just use Notepad to create the PBR's item list.

Of course, the best would be to seek the file restoration from a back-up or a source code repository.

well , this is not my case, because I am migrating this project buiilt by other team years ago, and the bck we have does not contains that .pbr file I dont know what can be inside that .pbr file. I will try to rebuild the app from scratch.
