how to run .exe file by labview?

I suggest you to start a new thread.

 

Why am telling this is the person who started this thread Jimmy, was not going to be online anymore. So this thread will remain not marked as a solved one.

 

Instead if you started a new thread now and once you solved the problem, please mark solution so that it will be useful in future for young developers.

 

Thanks for your understanding,

Mathan

Just so future folks know,

 

You can get command line arguments into LV (if you're buidling an EXE/DLL/something that needds them when called from a command line) simply by using the following format shown in the attached paint. 

 

In text, use a reference to the current Application (this can be gotten as the "VI Server Reference" from the Application panel under Programming from the "Functions Pallette"; after dropping it on the block diagram, right click on it and tell it to use the Application rather than the VI) to create a property node (by right clicking; second paint) for appliation to use the "Command Line Arguments". This will give you an array of strings to work with. Each element will be a command line argument in the order they're provided from the command line in.

 

To test operation after making your VI I recommend building it into an EXE and then calling it from the command line with some arguments. You should see your string array populate accordingly.

 

Good Luck!
