Hi Will, You have probably already tried the obvious, but in case you haven't, try a detailed analysis of the OS timestamps assigned to each file.
Although the two are not always related, it may just be that the executable was created immediately following an update to the top level vi. If you are using llb's the problem should be simple but it sounds as though your predecessor used dynamic vi calling and therefore timestamp of the files may be an important clue - look for the most recently updated vi, prior to the .exe's being created.

I have inherited a suite of labview programs, consisting of built executables that are known to work, and a vast, disorganised pile of vis. The challenge is to reconstruct working versions of the source code corresponding to each executable. What makes it hard is that there are 1/2 doz different versions of each vi, and no obvious way to tell which are the 'good' ones. I am hoping that it may be possible to dig into the exes and find out what vis went in to them (I understand that I certainly can't get the original source code out of the exes, but any clues would be helpful). Does anyone have any ideas?
