Opening an Executable(exe) file created by LabVIEW on remote PC

[Matthew_Kelton]

Does the remote PC exe need a GUI or not?

Yes it needs a GUI

Hi Parag D,

I think the reason why you do not have a clear example on how to launch an exe remotely on an XP machine is becuase of the security concerns.  With that simple operation I could see a whole host of misuse cases.  On the otherhand it does seem to be pretty useful to be able to synchronize two computer programs via one launching another.

I have a different proposed solution.  Make the exe you want to launch a background process in XP.  Then to start the program you open a TCP port and use the Front Panel Open property node to make the GUI visible.  I haven't tried it, but I did see a friend make a background process.  A quick search made me find this:

Hope that idea helps.

Hi all, After doing some research, I was able to finally configure DCOM both on server and client machine. However, now I only need to know how to call the LabVIEW exe remotely from the host pc. If anyone has the vi ready for 7.x or later, please try to attach it ........ thanks! -Parag CLAD

Hi,

How can we give a reference to an exe file to use front panel open property node? I think its only applicable to VI. And I have a exe now running as a Background process in client machine.

Thanks

I can execute the VI on remote PC, but not the exe built from VI. Used VI server and D Com methods. I have tried application ref, but it wasn't working on exe
