Executable work on one latop but not on other

[AnkitG]

Hi All,

I have a labview project in which the main programm calls the second program, I use shared variable to share information between these programs and made an executable, the problem I am facing is that execuatble works on the machine where it is made but on another machine. Is there any problem using shared variables in executables.? please let me know.

Thanks,

Ankit

I'll ask the obvious question first:  Did you install the RTE (run-time engine) on the other laptop in question?  This must be installed to run LV .exe files.

Hi,

Yes, RTE is installed with all the drivers related to project is also installed.

Please be a bit more specific.  What do the programs do?  Are they sharing any other information, files, etc.?  Are they just windows apps or are you using any hardware?

Hi Reese,

My main program is a data acquistion program, it take scans of a signal, the other program displays the progress of those scans as an progress bar, I am using shared variable to shared the number of scan in other program.both programs are two executables.

What do you mean by do not work? Not running at all or not getting the expected results? Are you using relative paths? Did you include the shared variables in the build?

Hi ,

I am using the correct path, also the shared variables( Network-published) are included in the build. The executable works on the machine its built on but not on other machine (works mean seeing the progress bar updated after every scan).

Why use a shared variable?  Can't you combine the functionality of both .exe into one?  What type of archetecture are you using in your main program?

Hi Reese,

I need two executable as they need to appear in two diferent monitor. The main program appears on the primary monitor, and second progress bar progress program appears on the second monitor usually for other people to see the progress of the program.The Main program is a big while loop.

Did you also install the .aliases files with your executables? I think they give indication on the location of the shared variables.
