could I use full development version to make a .exe file?

[yokojs]

Hi...
I am using a full development version LV 8.0 to program now.
The problem is obviously I do not have application builder to create the .exe file of my program.
Is there any other way to solve this problem with my current version?

Or is it possible to use the other language to handle it?

Thank you!

You can buy the app builder as an add-on. You can pay someone with the app builder to build one for you. Probably won't be too expensive for a one-time deal but it would be harder for you to support it. It's possible to create a "loader" program that will run a VI. If you can get someone to build the loader program, you can then distribute your application as an llb. There is no other way.

"the other language"? What other language?

Oh....I see...

I mean perhaps I could use the other language (e.g. VB .net) to compile the program?

hehe

Pay somebody to build it for me?
That is a idea...I try to find someone...

Thanks!

by the way it is toooooooooooo expensive for me to buy an application builder as an add-on....

Just be aware that's unless you've really done your homework and know how a VI will behave differently as an exe, you might need to go through a couple iterations of getting the exe to work. Depending on how much someone will charge you, you can easily approach or exceed the U$995 that the app builder costs. Then, once it's deployed to the end user, other bugs may appear that need to be fixed or there may be enhancements requested.

OK I see....

Thanks a lot!

By the way here in Germany it cost over 1000 euro!

tooooooooo expensive
