Labview runtime engine does not support vi.lib

[Kaspar]

Hello,

   I have a Labview 8.2 library that work great when I am using the development enviornment. However when I change to the Labview 8.2 runtime enviornment all of the vi's that exist in the vi.lib (which is part of the development system) cannot be found by the labview 8.2 runtime engine. How can I use the runtime engine and get access to the vi's that are in the vi.lib. I have tried to save the library using the hierachy, but that does not save the vis from vi.lib

Has anyone seen this before?

Regards,

Kaspar

How are you building your application? What kind of errors are you getting when using the runtime engine.

Could it be you only installed the slim version (~32MB) of the runtime engine? Make sure to install the full 96MB version.

Hello,

  Thanks for getting back to me. I looked at the article that was in your posting I am using the standard runtime engine. When I do a vi hierarchy the vi's in the library come form the vi.lib that is part of the development system. However the standard runtime engine does not provide a  way to get access to the vi's in the vi.lib. Is the issue here is that I am not creating a exe file?

Yes, you need to create an exe file using the application builder for later use with the runtime engine.

Hello,

  thanks for the info. It looks like I will have to create a exe file if I want use use the runtime engine. I am just use to the Labview 7.1 environment that did not require a exe.
