Build Application

[nevica]

Hello, I have a vi attached from which I am building an application to install on anther computer without a licence. I am using Labview 7.0 and have installed Run-time 7.0 on the target computer.

The only problem is that when I try and run the built application on the target computer it doesn't work like the original vi and fails to report errors or save data, or communicate via the serial port which I have built into the vi as it should.

Is there something I am missing when making a build application from a vi. I use the very basic settings in build application and simply save a build to a certain location and hit build. I do not play with any of the settings in build application.

The COM port number might be the key. Comp port number which you initially specify might vary from pc to pc.

No, its not the com port. I have checked the com port addresses with Hyper Terminal. Definitely not the problem.

I understood from your post that you're building an EXE file, right?

Why don't you build an installer, all needed drivers, dependencies (call it laike you want) will be encapsulated into that installer.

You can then install your code like any other software.

Way easier than trying to find out what you have to install besides your exe

You need to install the Labview Runtime program on the target computer.
