How can I call EXE from LabVIEW ?

[Sandeep]

I want to call an EXE file from LabVIEW "directly" without any DLL wrapper. How do I do it?

Hello,
I believe the VI that you are looking for is the System Exec.VI. The VI is located on the communications palette. This VI will allow you to execute a system command such as notepad.exe or some other executable file.

The node is called System Exec and it is in the Application Control
palette I think -- with the VI Server Functions. You basically give a
command line and some options for synchronization, etc.
