Built Application containing VISA resource name control in Labview 7.1 not working

[Madri]

Very new to Labview (student). I built an application (my first)that uses VISA serial in Labview 7.1. The application contains a VISA resource name control. The program worked when silmulated, but not when built as app. When I removed this control from the application and made it a constant - the app worked. Any reason for this? A way around it perhaps? Would love an answer. I did make sure the Run-time engin is correctly installed and that it is not the problem. Thanks, Madri

You need to install visa runtime engine on the machine where your exe is installed

I built and tested the exe on the same PC (mine). The exe (without the VISA resource control) is now installed on a different PC (with run time engine) and all is fine, but I would like to have that control in the app. Any ideas? Thanks for the help, Madri
