How do I setup shared variables between executables created in sepparate projects

[Vlad_P]

Hello,

I have several sepparate projects with their own respective executable files and I would like to be able for these executable files to all share the same variable (one program controls the value of the variable, while the others read from it).

I got this setup to work on my personal computer (by being able to access variable manager, etc), but I need to deploy these executables on different computers that don't have the labview development program. What steps do I need to do in order for me to be able to put these executables on any computer (I'm assuming I need to setup a path for the shared variable that is always in the same folder, etc)

Thanks

Vlad

Hi Vlad,

I think this article may answer some of your questions regarding shared variables in deployed applications.

It sounds like you already have your executables built, but this article may answer some questions about deploying them to other machines.

Thanks for the response I was able to use link #1 to get it to work, and link #2 seems like it has some useful information.
