Cannot install myRIO-1900 64-bit version for LabVIEW 2017?

[JitheshS]

Hi, so far I have been working with LabVIEW 32 bit 2017 with myRIO. However, recently I tried to "Build Application (EXE) from VI" in order to create an executable for the myRIO-1900 but it is greyed out in the 32-bit version of LabVIEW while the PC I am using is 64-bit.

I suspect the bit versions may be the problem, and everytime I try install myRIO-1900 toolkit from here: https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/software-products/download.labview-myrio-toolkit.html

I uninstall the myRIO-1900 toolkit and reinstall it. But in the LabVIEW 2017 64-bit launcher, it does not have any myRIO capabilities. The LabVIEW 2017 32-bit does have the myRIO capabilities.

Can someone help me out with this problem, or why the Build Application (EXE) from VI is greyed out in the 32 bit version?

Thanks

Does your LabVIEW package include the Application builder?  It would be a part of the Professional Suite, or an add-on to the Full development or Basic versions of LabVIEW.  If you do have it, has it been licensed in NI License Manager?

No the 64-bit version is not the problem. What your OS is does not matter.

And LabVIEW Realtime only works in the 32-bit version of LabVIEW. Installing 64-bit LabVIEW you couldn't even install the Realtime part into to program your myRIO from.

But in order to program your myRIO you have to install several software components besides LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Realtime Module. You also need to install the NI-RIO driver software, and support for your hardware target, respectively for myRIO there is a special package called LabVIEW myRIO Software Bundle that includes the NI-RIO driver and myRIO support package.

Read here what you need to install.
