Problems with implementing LV shared vars for executable standalone applications

[Mr. Hammond]

In order to implement shared variables, it appears that all networked computers must have LV compiler installed and running the code that will have the shared variables so that an association may be made thru explicit binding. The problem with this is that I want to build my applications on my development computers to use shared variables and then I want to make executables to distribute to locations that do not have LV compilers.  If shared variables are only good on a machine that is currently running he source code, then this whole shared variable idea seems very unusable.  Any ideas?

What you need to do is build an executable from your code using the Application Builder, then you'll be able to run it on machines that do not have LabVIEW installed. These machines will need to have the LabVIEW Runtime engine (needs to be the same version as your version of LabVIEW) and any needed driver packages (NI-DAQ, VISA, ect.) installed, but these are a free download.

Let us know if you have more questions.
