How To Create Exe File?

[RVS]

Hello Experts,

I have done application in Lab VIEW. Now i want to convert that to Exe file ( Which Needs top run on the platform without LabVIEW)?

Thanks in advance

You must use the Application Builder.  It comes with LabVIEW Pro, but you must purchase it separately if you have LabVIEW Base or Full.  With LabVIEW 7.1 and earlier, you would launch it from Tools > Build Application.  With LabVIEW 8.0, you would create an EXE under "Build Specifications" in your project.

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and I have encountered a problem after converting my vi file to an exe file.

After building the exe file, and when i try to open, there will be a pop up appearing (pls refer to attachment on popup.bmp) and a selection need to be done which are "RT target on network" or "labVIEW on windows" (pls refer to attachment on popup2.bmp).

If i select "RT target on network", i will need input the machine name/IP and password, and i dont really understand this.

and if i select "labVIEW for windows", it will open my original vi file.

Pls advise

Thank you.

Hi Lip Seng,

this happens if you forget to remove the checkmark in the Application Builder you can see in the attached Picture. (Sorry my 7.1 is in german) But you will find it easily.

Hi,

an exe which was created with LabVIEW needs an RunTimeEngine, like any other programming language, too.

You have to install the Run-Time-Engine on any target PC. You can easily download the RTE at the attached link or create an installer in your Application Builder, then the exe will be installed together with the right RTE on any computer.

You have to install the equivalent Version of the RTE to the Development Version of LabVIEW.
