labview exe on Win CE

[Sreedhar_T]

Hi,

I have developed an application and made a .exe (LV - 7.1 PDS)+ installer, the OS is Win XP. Now, I also have an ARM processor with WinCE OS running on it. Will my LabVIEW application run on it, agreed that I have install the runtime engine. In the first case, will I be able to install the LV Run time engine.

Dear all,

I finally tried to run the installer on the Win CE smart device... and found that it is not recognizing the installer at all... if I try to set up, it throws an error "it is not a valid Windows CE application". Can anyone please help me what I should do or which version of Labview should I buy or is there any toolkit available to make it compatible with Win CE. I am desperately looking for an answer... plz help. I am sure there must be something that will help me to run my application on the WIN CE machine.

Regards

Sreedhar

Hi

I think you may need the PDA-toolkit for WinCE.

The other chance is to use Win XP embedded
with the possibility to run the same application
on your PC and on the Embedded system.
The only disatvantage is that it doesn't work
on ARM Processors.

With kind regards

Hi,

Thank you for your interest... but however, I am still confused why LV exe doesn't run on ARM processor... after all its an application. like anything else...We successfully made a C#.Net application and compiled it with respect to Win CE and made that application run... any suggestions please.

ya, I would definitely consider the requirement of PDA toolkit, but never knew how it would be like, can you give me links or ideas how the execution takes place in the PDA toolkit.

Thanks and Regards

You seemed to have answered your own question. A exe is specific to an OS and a processor. When you compiled the C#.Net app, you chose as a target the Winc CE with ARM processor. You would choose a different target if you compiled it for Windows. LabVIEW is a compiler as well. With LabVIEW for windows only, you only have a single target - windows with an Intel or compatible processor. To compile to a different processor or OS, you need a version of LabVIEW for that processor or OS. For Windows CE, you need to buy the LabVIEW for PDA version. If you wan't an exe for the Mac, you would need LabVIEW for Mac.
