Hi All

I am very new to Labview field, can anyone share their knowledge in developing .exe, installer, .dll .

I will be very happy if someone shares any doc regarding this.

Thanks in advance.

Which version of Labview are you using?  The method changed when LV8.x was introduced..

[JB]

Which LV version do you use (base, full, profesionnal, developer suite) ? You need a tool called application builder to create exes, installers and dlls. Unfortunately, it is not included in the base and full versions. See this comparison table.

Hi ,

I am using LabVIEW Professional ver 8.0.

Can anyone help me out .

HI all,

I have the similar  question and I am using LabVIEW 8.5  (Developer suite). I want to make .exe files for my VIs. Is the method different for each version of the LabVIEW. I mean I have LabVIEW 7.1 at my university PC. I would like to know the methods for the both versions.

Thanks in advance.

LV8 introduced the very useful Project Explorer that also changes the way to build EXEs, installers, DLLs...

• Prior to LV8 : LabVIEW menu >> Tools >> Build Application or Shared Library (DLL)...

• LV8 and later : Project Explorer >> right-click on Build Specifications >> New... >>

Feel free to post back if you need further help.

Hi JB, thanks.

In LabVIEW 8.5 version, can you please tell me where is this "project explorer"? I don't see them in the LabVIEW menu (both front and back panel) or anywhere under any of these menu items including tools and project.

Thanks a lot!

From a VI, you can select "New Project" from the File menu.

You will then get a Project Explorer with a New "unnammed" Project.

Or easier to simply select New Project from the Project menu.  Or if you get the splash screen at the begninning which offers how to start, you can select New Project.
