Copy TRE-files version 8.2 manually with a executable

[Joost Schouten]

Hi,

Since most users of my written program are users with "restricted right" acounts under Windows XP I copied the Runtime engine files of LV7.11 manualy by copying the

"Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\7.1" files to the harddisk and run a build executable from that directory. Since this application looks in its own directory for support-files this worked fine for LV7.1.

Last week I converted my program to the LV8.2 version. When I tried to copy the RTE8.2 file in the same way as I did before, the program would start-up. It asks for a NIINI32.DLL file. When I include this file it does not return any errors, but the program doesn't start. Can anyone tell me wether their is a different way to run a exe-file build by LV-application builder by copying files manual in stead of running the RTE-installer?

Thanks in advance,

Joost

Dear Joost,

The Application builder has undergone some big changes from LabVIEW 7.1 to 8.2. I can imagine that this has also had it's effects on the RTE.

I would think that as long as all dependencies are found the application should run correctly but since your using a way of deploying your application in a unusual way I could imagine that you've missed a couple of dependencies.

I would advice building either a installer for your application or installing the RTE manually on the target machine. As soon as the correct RTE is installed your application (or any other LabVIEW build application) would not need administrative rights to run. (as long as your application does not perform any task that require admin rights). 

Kind regards,

Karsten
