Hi,

I created an executable file for my project. But when I tried to install the build in another system with no labview setup it shows that labview run time engine is missing. How to ovrcome this problem.

On your development PC, create an installer for your executable that includes the run-time engine.

Or download the run-time engine from ni.com and install that on the PC where you installed your executable.

Have you include that package when installing EXE file. That is the example of LV 2011

Can you tell me the proper and necessary steps to make my program a stand alone application.

I just selectd the create exe from vi option in tools, selected the location and selected build.

What are all the steps to be filled.

Ya here it is.

Add the following components shown in attached file when creating exe file.

For project you may need this component also

Open the project window.
Right click on the my computer.
Add -> folder (Snapshot).
Go to C -> Program files -> National instruments -> labVIEW 2011 -> vi.lib -> Utility -> open LVClass -> press current folder

Repeat the same procedure for NIReport.lib

May all the component you dont need but atleast take a reference

Let me know if you have any queries

Are you sure all the required component is added ?

That error is telling you that LabVIEW doesn't have some component needed in the build. I believe that error can be ignored, when you go to build the installer it will ask you for the locaiton of the component you are missing. Usually this is on a CD or download.

For example lets say in the Additional Installers you checked DSC but you don't have DSC installed. This error will pop up saying "Hey if you want me to include DSC in this installer I'm going to need you to give me DSC to include it". When you go to build it it will say "So where is that DSC you wanted me to include?" and you'll need to provide DSC either from a NI CD/DVD or from a download.
