Does Vision82RTE include the LabVIEW 8.20 RTE?

[Empire]

I installed the Vision82RTE.zip from this KB, in order to run a simple LV app with a few vision routines.

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0468423DEA93D2A786257111005EB9F7

The KB mentions that the Vision RT engine gets installed in :

 C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision\Run-Time Engine

However, I do not see any files in that directory, just NIVisSvr in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision path and the executable says the LV RT engine is not installed.  Does the Vision82RTE include the LV RT engine or not?  Doe sthe LV RT engine need to be installed separately?

Empire--

       It is a little unclear what exactly you are trying to do.  It sounds like you are trying to run an application that someone else has built into an executable.  If this is the case, you will need both the Vision Run-time Engine and the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.  Both of which can be downloaded from our website (there is a link from www.ni.com for "Drivers and Updates")  LabVIEW Run-Time is a free program that you will need to install; however, Vision RTE is a free download and install but you will need to license the product before it will work.

       As to whether LV-RTE is installed with your executable is a question for the person that built the executable in the first place.  Whenever they do this there is an option to make an installer, where they can select to bundle the RTE with the application.
      In this same installer window, for LabVIEW 8.0 and 8.2, Vision RTE is not an option to include.  This is what the KB is saying.  If you want to be able to include the Vision RTE in an installer then you can run that program.  That program is not the actuall RTE, it is only so that LabVIEW can see the program when making an installer so that you can include it.
