LabVIEW 8.0 Run-Time engine & shared variables

[TerraNova]

Has LabVIEW 8.0 Run-Time Engine the shared variable's support, I wonder?

The thing is that .exe with globals/locals runs alright, but beeing replaced with shared variables it refuses to run.

What's wrong? May be need in library(s) absend?

Thanks.

I think, the Shared Variable Engine (like the old Tag Engine) is part of DSC. So you'ld need a DSC Runtime, which has to be purchased for every pc you want to run a LV program on which does need this.

You can use the Shared Variable in the Run-Time Engine (you do not need DSC).
Can you be more specific about what happens when it refuses to run? Are you seeing an error message?

If you are using Network-Published shared variables, they need to be deployed before you run the application.  You can either deploy them manually with the project, or your application can programmatically deploy them.  You can find some more information about this in the LabVIEW Help under "Shared Variables and Stand-Alone Applications or Shared Libraries" (follow this link and scroll down to the bottom):

Hello,

I have a problem with programmatically deploying my shared vars in stand-alone app. When I started .exe on computer with LV, all works correctly. But on computers with only Run-Time engine, app just failed without any error messages. Maybe I have to install some additional tools, like Variable Engine?

Same problem here, Err.  The shared variables (in project librarys) simply won't deploy when in an exe.

As I suggested, the problem was in Variable Engine. When I install it, all works properly. Well, +50Mb to installer...
