Labview to .exe

[PhilGil]

I have a Labview file that transmits and receives using CAN and also sends and receives using the RS-232 port. I need to convert the .vi file to an .exe file so it can be run on a computer that does not have Labview. I heard it can be done, but how?

The application builder is inlcuded with the Professional version of LabVIEW or can be ordered separately. If, under the Tools menu, you have a "Build application or shared library(DLL)" choice, you have the Pro version and it's already installed.

Hi Dennis,

I have Application Builder and am able ot build an .exe on most of my programs,, however, when I try to build an application from a labview file containing MatLAB script nodes the .exe is not executable.  Instead, when I attempt to open the .exe, the window does not open and LabVIEW freezes.  My employment terminates July 20th and I would like to build an .exe so that future employees don't have difficulties with my program.

I would really appreciate a response.

Thank you!  Enjoy your day!
