How to make an excutable from a finished vi?

[Heather 270]

I have a program that is practically finished but I am unsure how to make it a stand alone executable. I wouls like it so that I could but it on disk and use it on other machines that do not have Labview. Thanks

1. You need LabVIEW Builder Application (shareware)
2. After that you make exe with (1) you can distribute it on another computers + you have install there LabVIEW Runtime ( freeware)

The application builder is not shareware. It costs U$995.

Thank you for your response. I am still very confused. Does this mean that there is some way to make a stand alone executable? I am building a virtual laboratory through Labview. It is pretty basic but I am having quite a few problems. If you could help I would really appreciate it. I am attaching the file. Thank you so much!

Heather,
With the Application Builder you can make standalone executables. The application builder is included in the LabVIEW professional package, but if you have Base of Full package, you will have to buy the Application Builder as a separate add-on tool.

Once you build your VI into an executable, it will have .exe extension, and you will no longer need LabVIEW to run it.
You can run it with the LabVIEW run-time engine. This engine can be installed from any LabVIEW CD, or download from our web site:
