Remote control of an application in with LabVIEW 8.2

[jaredforshey]

I have a server machine with the LabVIEW 8.2 runtime engine running an application that was built on a different computer.  I'd like to be able to remotely control the application on the server over the internet using the browser interface.  Is this possible without the server having a full installation of LabVIEW?  Can the VI server (if that's what's required here) be installed as a stand-alone?  The remote computer actually has LabVIEW 8.2 on it but transferring the license and installation over to the server for this purpose isn't feasible.

My other option is to run PCAnywhere.  I 'm looking into Jeffrey Travis's LabVNC but I haven't figured out yet if it works with LabVIEW 8.2 or if it can be used with built applications rather than straight VI's.

Thanks for any information or threads you can point me to on the subject.

Hello jaredforshey,

If you are just trying to control the front panel of the executable, you may want to consider using the Remote Front Panels feature in LabVIEW. This will essentially publish the front panel of the application to the web such that you can navigate to a web address and request control of the application. You may also want to take a look at this knowledgebase for special considerations for Remote Front Panels for an executable. I hope this information is useful for you. Please post back if we can offer any additional assistance. Thanks.
