If you don't have any source code, and you are left out only with Executable. I don't guess you can retrieve back your Code (VI).

Waiting for other Experts View on this.

Hi Tonello,

how to retrieve the original VI file from .exe file.

Let me ask this: "I have MS Office on my computer: how to retrieve the source code of Word?"

There is no way to get the source code of an executable! To create an executable means to convert the source code into executable code…

Generic answer: ask the developer of that executable to hand out the sources!

(One last option: IF your LabVIEW executable was created with debugging enabled then you can remotely debug your exe and see it's source code this way. Is this option possible for you?)
