Run time engine present

[Muthuraman]

Hi all,

Does any one know how to find what version of Run time engine is installed in the PC?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Muthuraman,

you can find the information in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer). You have to select MySystem >> Software

hope this helps,

Thanks Norbert.

I built an exe in LabVIEW 8.2.1.The exe ran well in my PC which had LabVIEW Run time engine 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.1.

When i tried to run the exe from another PC which has LabVIEW Run time engine 7.0, 7.1.1, the exe crashes at the launch itself. Had you encountered such issue

Muthuraman,

if the exe is build in LV 8.2.1, you need the LV 8.2 RTE. All other versions of RTEs are irrelevant.

When you say, that the exe crashes: What happens? Is there a dialog?

Norbert,

It gives a dialog box "The GUI has encountered a problem and need to close. sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in middle of something, the information you were working might be lost".

The difference is we encounter this only in one PC where we have only LabVIEW8.6 development system (among development systems). But has all run time engine including LV8.2.1 Run time engine. Is there any possibility the exe is getting run in LabVIEW8.6 run time engine which is giving this issue?

No.

I take it that the error dialog is created by Windows. 

I guess that the target pc has some settings which are not compatible to the exe. I'd first check if the UI used in the exe uses special fonts which are probably not installed on the target. Other possible things are missing dlls or other components which have wrong versions....

You can check the general functionality of your target if you build a simple exe which just uses a single VI with e.g. the standard state machine (found in the template browser).

hope this helps,

Norbert
