No, you cannot run it on a pda. You need the LabVIEW Mobile Module, modify the VI to remove any windows only functions, and rebuild it.

Just to clarify a bit more to what Dennis wrote, the PDAs are an entirely different platform, since they run with a completely different CPU  (RISC, MIPS) in comparison to the x86 architecture normal desktops and notebooks are using (Your battery life would suck greatly if you had an x86 run in such a mobile device Smiley Very Happy ). And LabVIEW VIs running as compiled binary code, this means that a VI compiled for x86 can't possibly run on any other CPU architecture without being recompiled.

 

Also Windows Mobile (build on Windows CE) has a VERY limited API compatibility to Desktop Windows, but really is a completely different OS too.
