exe error from missing cvirte.dll

I created an .exe on a develoment machine and moved it over to another machine. When I run the .exe on that machine, I get the following error:

"The program can't start because cvirte.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this probelm."

 

I tried copying the cvirte.dll from the system32 folder on the development machine to the instlal machine and the same error occurs.

 

the install mahcine has RT2010 and RT2013 installed and the .exe was developed uisng Labview 2013

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Does anything in your LabVIEW program use a CVI .dll or executable?  It sounds like what you need to do is install the CVI Run-Time engine onto your computer.

 

Here is also a Knowledge Base article with a little bit of information about the error.  http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6B7641BE351DE6E486256AA40055673D

You should never simply move an exe. You should create an installer. You now say that you are using some driver. If this is an IVI driver, you should have included the IVI compliance package with the installer you created.
