Timothy,
sorry for this observation.

I don't think this is a zint issue, but I did not try.

I don't know labview, but with TCL exec command, it is always a good 
idea to use the command "start" (first parameter "" for the unused 
window title):
start "" "c:\test folder\zint.exe" -b 58 -d "hello world"

In addition, you may try the executable at:
http://www.eurodatacouncil.org/images/downloads/zint-dmre_2015-05-29.zip
This is only for debug to check if recent bug-fixes have removed the 
error. This version contains DMRE extension, so take care with DataMatrix.

Hope this helps,
Harald
