Can the Labview web server be run stand alone?

[mkdieric]

Can the web server run without having to run a particular VI or executable? Can I launch it as a service everytime I reboot for example?
Thanks,
Manu.

Manu,
assuming you have a LV with build in web server you only have to enable the web server in Tools>>Options>>web server:configure. From then on you have a web server running which you can get documents from with URLs like http://localhost. Change localhost to the name or IP adress of the computer where LV is running on if you access it from a remote machine.
You cannot start LV as a service since a service is a special application which must provide a interface for the service manager. You can start LV each time when you put a shortcut into one of the autostart groups or into the registry under the "Run" key (use regedit to search for the correct location).
I think that if you will build an application and set the web server enabled (through the in
i file) you will have a web server and will be able to use LV for development on the same machine.
