LabView and Run-Time

[nevica]

Hello, I have written a vi in LabView 7.0 and I would like to install this vi on other computers for which we do not have a license to run LabView. I understand the way around this is to download Run-Time from the National Instruments website. This I have done (downloaded and installed the latest run-time software from NI website) but I have no idea how to run my vi in the run-Time suite of programs. Which program should I use and so on. Are all sub-vis supported etc.

The way around it is not to simply install the runtime engine. You must use the application builder to create an exe and then install the matching runtime (not the latest). If your program uses any hardware, you will have to install the appropriate hardware drivers, of course.

You also need to check to make sure you actually have the Application Builder, depending on which "edition" of LabVIEW you have. The Professional edition had the Application Builder included. The Full and Base did not, and needed to be purchased separately. I think this still applied going back to 7.0. If you don't have the Application Builder then you will need to check with NI to see if you can still get it.
