LabVIEW
Is it possible to have a user interface in a stand alone application without having LV
Hi!
I want to know if it's possible to build a stand-alone application in order to avoid purchasing LV and at the same time having a user interface to display data?
I really want to know what are the advantages of the stand-alone applications and what are their limits of use?
Thank u 
If you have the application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and above) you can make a LabVIEW application that can be distributed and run on machines that don't have LabVIEW installed. If you only have LabVIEW full, you can purchase it seperately.
The target machine requires the LabVIEW runtime, which is freely downloadable from NI, or can be included with the installer of your application.
Please have a look at the datasheet: http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/4msw55.pdf
If still have more specific questions not mentioned in the above link, please ask. 🙂

You'll need to buy a version of Labview (one with application builder
included) to design and compile the stand alone application obviously. Once
you have the compiled exe file (and installed the labview stand alone player
files) you can use these on PC's without the full Labview package installed.
There is a licensing requirement that the compiled exe is only allowed to be
distributed free if used with NI hardware such as a data aq board, gpib card
etc. With no NI hardware is used then a licence fee is payable. Not sure
how much and how it is paid. Best to contact your NI rep for info if it
applies to your application.
