LV 2009 SP1 EXE Builder issue

[adobefree@gmail.com]

Hi Guys:

            I found that the exe file built from LV 2009 SP1 can be easily extracted by WinRAR , i can see all the main or sub vi , is this a bug? or a settings risk? I haven't found the same problem in  LV 8.6 ,

thanks

As I understand this is an unintended feature which was changed in LV 2010. I don't think this is a risk, because the VIs have no block diagrams. Some can exchange a VI but this will alter the checksum of the application file. In this case it is on the risk of the other one.

I do not think you should think to much about it. One of the first discussions about it  is here http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/decompiling-2009-executable/td-p/991662. It is correct that they will be able to extract the VIs But they will not be able to see any more than you show in your program.
