My Executable is not deploying correctly due to missing files

[floresma]

Hello,

I used the "Build Application EXE from Vi" function from the tools menu to creat my final program.  I then installed the LV runtime engine in the target PC, however, when I start my program there are missing files that LV cannot locate, i.e., nilvaiu.dll.

Is there an easier and more efficient way to load a program on a PC?

Thanks,

You probably need to install NI-DAQ.  If you make a full installer, you can include the RTE and other NI installers as part of the installetion package.

I also would suggest to create projects to store build properties...

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. 

I installed the latest version of DAQmx and it worked better but now the program is always outputting errors, also, the graphics on the screen are missing characters.

Do you know what might be causing this issue?

Thanks,

Marcelo

What are the errors you are seeing?  What missing characters?  Screen grabs and more information would be helpful.

Hello,

Here are some screen captures of the screen differences.

Thanks,

It looks like the other machine does not have the same them setup as on your machine.

If you you Application, Dialog Fonts, these are tied to the Windows theme.  If they are using larger fonts than you have setup as default, your UI will look different.

You can avoid this by either making sure the themes are the same between the PCs or use a standard font, such as Arial for your text, as it will not be resized by a theme difference.

I do not know how helpful this is since I can not give you a specific answer, but one screenshot is from Windows XP and one is from Windows 7. Also, the screen resolutions are different I think. Depending on how you have set up your front panel, that might influence the final layout.
