embed data plugin into standalone application

[tmbejoy]

Hello, I want to know if it is possible to embed a data plugin into a standalone application. I am not able to get the output when i run the standalone application without labview. but if i run the same application in labview in which the plugin is already installed works.

Hi tmbejoy,

If your target machine doesn't have that DataPlugin installed, you can either bring the DataPlugin installer to the machine and install it before running your application, or include the DataPlugin installer into your application installer, please refer to the following example in LabVIEW 2010 or later.

<LabVIEW>/examples/file/dataplugin/ATML 2.0/

Hope this helps,

Mavis

Hi tmbejoy,

Have you already created an installer build specification for your application? If yes, please check LabVIEW Run Time Engine and NI USI in Additional Installers page in the installer build specification, so that you can build an installer that will deploy dependencies of your application to target machine that doesn't have LabVIEW.

Once you successfully build an installer that includes your application and those dependencies, please bring it to target machine and install it. Then your application should work on that machine. If not, please let us know which error you get.

Please note that the DataPlugin that your application works with should also be installed on that machine.

Hope this helps,

Mavis
