CVIRTE.dll

[Popo]

Hi,I have made a vi that I want to deploy on some PC.
I use the application builder (labview 6.1) and i select the Run-time engine option.
But When I want To install it on a PC that never had a labview software, I have problem. When I want toi run the exe file , windows tell me that CVIRTE.DLL is missing.Why?
I thought thet the application builder will install all the necessary files........
Dores this files is related to the real time engine?
If yes , why my application is calling that; because i don't use Labview rte.How can I remove this error to allow me to install properly my application?
Thanks all for the support you could give me.
Regards & thanks
Philippe

The app builder is pretty smart but it's not all knowing. There are a lot things that you have to manually add to a install to get an app to work. This includes device drivers such as NI-DAQ and NI-GPIB. In some place in your program, you have a call to a function that requires the LabWindows/CVI run-time engine. Two of the functions that require this are the modified Inport/Outport for WinNT, Win2K, etc. If you are using TesStand, then CVIRTE is required for that. You can either add the DLL itself as a support file or add the separate CVI run-time installer.

Thank you!
How can I find these functions, because my applicatiion will not use NI-DAQ or NI-GPIB. I will only use serial port.
Secondly when i add the CVIRTE.dll as a support file , he ask me then the folder cvirte\bin\....where there is cvirt4.rsc and cvirte.rsc files.....
Normally , using only the serial port , i don't need the labwindows/CVi run-time engine.....doesn'it?

Sorry that I didn't provide the entire list of files required. You can get the entire CVI run-time engine here. I'm curious though about the requirement for the run-time engine with only a serial port being used. If you are using the VISA functions, then you should be creating an installer that adds the VISA run-time engine (LV 7 simplifies this) and if you're using the old serial drivers, you should be adding the serpdrv file as a support file. Could you post a small example of your program?
