You need the application builder. If you have the Professional version of LV, you already have it. If you have the Full version you will need to buy it as an addon.

You cannot built an standalone application without LabVIEW. No way!

In order to build a standalone application, you need (1) LabVIEW and (2) the LabVIEW application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and higher, available seperately for LabVIEW full).

Once you have built an application, you can run in on a computer that does not have LabVIEW installed. However, you still need to install the LabVIEW runtime engine of the correct version. You can include the runtime when creating an installer or you can download it freely from NI.

A detailed descrpition on how to use the application builder can be found at the following link:

I assume that the poster means to run this on a computer without the development environment installed.  That is what the app builder is for. Review Altenbach's post.  This being said, there will need to be a runtime engine installed on the target PC. You can 'bundle' that with your build application and install it together, although I usually prefer Not to do that, and make that a seperate step because it is rather large, and if the target already has it, then it is wasted space.  Speaking of run time engine, I have seen negative reactions to it by my customers, but after sitting down and explaining that, with few exceptions, every application requires a run time engine. It is just that some are bundled with windows, or installed through windows update.  Once explained, it usually quiets the opposition. [Paul steps off soap box now]
