While some people have figured something out to do that, which involves
to add quite a lot of files to the list of files in the application
builder setup and copies all of these files into your installed
applications directory, it is not a very good solution as you are likely
to have to adapt this list and maybe even the procedure with each new
LabVIEW version.

Instead go into your Application Builder, select the Installer Settings
tab, then select the Advanced button and in the dialog showing select
the LabVIEW Runtime-Engine checkbox, et voila. Depending of what
additional functionality your application might u
se you can check some
or all of the other checkboxes too, but don't include anything you don't
need. It just bloats your installation files and adds extra stuff on
your harddrive.

Or write the application in LabVIEW 5.0 or 5.1. the Application bulder there creates exe files without links to a runtime engine (it didn't exist back then).

This will result in executables of around 3-4 Megabytes each (at least), and doesn't support the new features of LV 6 or 7, but if it's absolutely neccessary......

PS Bear in mind, you'll need another license.

Run the app builder of labview and add as support file the lvrte.dll you
find in ...\national instruments\shared\labview run-time\5.1\ and
disable at Installer - advanced the RunTimeEngine.
