I have a single VI (.vi), I want to convert that to a run time version?
Can I do it?
Yes, you can.
Create a project for your "single VI".
Then create a BuildSpec inside this project for your "single VI".
Then build your executable…
Just to be clear you may have to add some additional code to your VI for it to behave correctly when built as an exe. For example, in the development environment you can load the VI, set all of the values of the controls to the desired values and then start execution. Before you started executing everything was initialized. In an exe, execution of the application begins immediately. Meaning you will need some code to delay the start of the "real" execution so that control values can be initialized properly or you will need a way to load the initial values from an external source.
Yes, you can drop a VI in as the top level VI of an application but that doesn't mean the user experience will be good.
