Labview 8.5 executable won't run on Runtime Machines

[Lokis]

Created an .exe from my Labview Project TS_playback.lvproj.  I am running Labview 8.5.  Target computers have Runtime Engine 8.5.  Windows XP mostly (and 2000).  When I run the .exe I either get a quick flash of the loading vi box , or nothing at all.  If I have task manager open, I do see the exe open briefly before disappearing. 

When creating the exe, I use my main vi as the startup vi.  

I don't use any other files in 'Always included' 

All subvi's and dependencies are 'Included if referenced' 

Custom vi properties of startup vi are basically default, except - turn off run when open,  turn off allow debugging.   

Note - the vi has locked subvi's associated with LockinPLL and LockinDemodulator.  

The code itself is a torn down version of a much more complicated real-time version. This version is simply to post-process data, mainly for a client to fiddle with, so it is meant to function and not be pretty.  Sadly, now it only functions on our office machine.  

Any help would be great.  

Thanks

There are two flavors of the runtime engine and you need the 97MB one. Could it be that you installed only the 24MB web browser version

See this page for details.

Thanks.

I will try the 97 MB full runtime engine.  Currently using the 24MB one.

Using the full 97MB version doesn't seem to make a difference.  Still just flashes the loading grey box just briefly.

Hy Lokis,

Can you try installing the 97MB version of the Run-time engine on a different computer than the one you are using now and see if you get different results. Also, are you intalling the run-time engine and trying to run the executable from an administrator account? Or are you trying to run the executable from a user account?

Tried to run .exe on multiple machines (win xp, and 2000).  Doesn't work on any with 97MB runtime.  All machines are Admin.

According to the project file, you did not create an installer. That is almost always a huge mistake. Unless you created it manually, your app is missing the data folder with the lvanlys.dll. Since some your VIs are password protected, I can't tell if you are using any NI hardware but if you are, you need to include those drivers in the installer.

Installer has seemed to fix it.  Exe currently working on at least 1 other machine.  Will test on another machine before I start jumping for Joy.

Thanks a bunch though.
