RunTimeEngine linked to my application

[Nitrof]

I would like to know what are the possibility with executable file built with LabVIEW. Is it possible to compile our application with the RunTimeEngine linked to it. Why other version of LabVIEW's executable are not supported by the latest RTE.

Thanks

Yes, you can include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine with an executable. When you build an application, check the box labeled "Create installer" under the Installer Settings tab. The Run-Time Engine will then be installed when you run the executable, allowing you to run your application on computers that do not have LabVIEW installed. For more details, look in the LabVIEW Help (under Index, look for Installer Settings Tab).

An executable must have the Run-Time Engine of the version of LabVIEW with which the executable was created. For example, an executable created in LabVIEW 5.1 must have the 5.1 Run-Time Engine. You can have multiple versions of the Run-Time Engine installed on the same computer with no problems. See the following KnowledgeBase onl
ine for more details:
KB DIRECT-44PNF4: "Which Run-Time Engine Do I Need for My LabVIEW Application Builder Executable?"

I know that I can create an install shield with my application. But what I want to do is link the RunTimeEngine within my application. So That I only have to provide one and only file, the executable.

I understand that it may not work like that because the architecture of labVIEW executable may not be built that way.

Thanks for your help.
