(start transcription) "There are a few new features pertaining to building applications in LabVIEW 2011. One of them is the Clean feature in the Build Specifications menu. So going back now to this Relative Path, I can see that this is my destination directory for the build. If I build it, I can go look at it right here. This is our Vista test machine, so don’t judge. I can go to build, and here’s my executable, my INI file, the data, etc. Now let’s say that I look at this and realize that something’s wrong. I run this or I want to change something. Well, I could go and clean all these out, delete them all myself. This is a relatively simple application, so this can be done, but for more complex applications, this could be a pain. If I go back to the relative path, right-click on it, and go to Clean, as you can see, that’s all gone. Then I can go back into my Build Specifications menu and reconfigure my edited options.'"
