Application Builder and Parallel Port

Dear LabVIEW experts,

I tried to make distribution .EXE files with Application Builder, but have failed many many times.
my VI is to control the 8 data-bit of the printer/parallel port.

Here's what I did:
- edited AppBuilder_Test.vi
- saved with options, checked the application distribution, and saved to AppBuilder_Test.llb
- built Application .EXE file, chose AppBuilder_Test.llb (and in the sub menu, chose AppBuilder_Test.vi) as the top level VI
- optioned "single target file containing all VIs"
- then I got the AppBuilder_Test.EXE

However, the AppBuilder_Test.EXE only works at my computers with LabVIEW installed already. for those non-LabVIEW PCs (installed Run-Time Engine 6.1 already), the 8 data
-bit of the printer port, which I have shorted the Pin#10,11,&12) just doesnt have the right output voltage level.

Please take a look and let me know what I have done wrong? thank you very much.

You have to install VISA. It's not part of the run-time engine.
