Access to the front panel through web browser is not working proprely

[alex b.]

Hi,

Here is my configuration. I have a compact FieldPoint cFP-2010 (ip address:12.12.12.1). I have also a development PC (Windows 2000, Labview installed, ip:12.12.12.2) and an application PC (Windows 2000, Labview not installed, ip:12.12.12.3). All 3 computers are on the same network.

       I build an application (startup.exe) using Labview and this application is downloaded on the compact FieldPoint. I used the web publisher to create the web page (app.htm) loading the front panel for this application. I installed it in the directory www on the cFP.

            Now, when I load the page (http://12.12.12.1/app.htm) on the development PC, everything works fine. I see the front panel through my web browser and I’m able to control the application running on the cFP. Labview is installed on this machine but it is not launched.

            However, when I load the same page on the other machine (the application PC), the page is loaded with the name, header and footer. But in the square where I see the front panel on the other PC, there is nothing happening; only this little picture icon (red square, green circle, blue triangle). Nothing else.

            Do I need any instance of Labview running on this application machine to make it work?

Thank you

I don't think you need anything on the controlling computer if you're only viewing the page (maybe it's different when publishing from FP).
You definitely need the run-time engine installed if you want to control the VI.
You can probably find the RTE installation on your LV CD, but if not, you can create a small VI (which does nothing), and when you build it into an application, choose to create an installer. This will include the RTE in your files and will install it on the target machine.

Thank you for your help,

The run-time engine was definitively missing. Now it is working fine.
