LabVIEW
labview installation directory
Does anyone know if it's possible to programmatically determine the LabVIEW installation directory? Please keep in mind that it should also work when it's converted to an executable...
Thanks.
Hi Matt,
I have the feeling this has just been asked recently...
Anyway:
- Why do you need LabVIEW's installation folder for an executable?
- Why do you need it in a VI that runs in the IDE?
- Did you check the AppDir file constant?
AppDir gives me the installation directory of the application I built, not LabVIEW.
I need the installation folder because I need to access a file in the instr.lib folder (long story, not worth telling, just trust me).
I looked through all of the posts prior to posting. AppDir was in there, but nothing on the installation folder.
Thanks.

Hi Matt,
one shouldn't rely on the installation path of some arbitrary tools!
Anyway: you should examine the registry to find some suitable keys that tell you the install path of LabVIEW...
Unfortunately, that is not an option in this case. Some things we simply cannot control and I have to focus on solving the problem I have. If you don't have an answer, that's fine.
