Hi!

You should install labview run-time engine on the PC.

Labview RunTime is free:

do i install it on the PC that i want my exe file to be run or do i install it to the PC before i exe the file?

[MarcoMauri]

It must be installed on every PC where yo want to run your exe.

If you create an installer with Labview you can include Labview run-time engine in the distribution package of your application.

Regards,

after i install,what do i do next?

run the executbale after you install the run time engine.

The run time engine should be of the same version as of the LabVIEW development system in which the executable was built.

if you built the EXE in LabVIEW 2010SP1, then the run time should be for LabVIEW 2010SP1.

also, what is the error you are getting?

are there any other drivers which are needed by the executable? say, like DAQmx, VISA, etc?

As Freelance_LV already asks, there are possibly additional components you require for your EXE to run.

The easiest thing to point out is required hardware devices and their drivers. If that is available (or not used), the EXE should run with the correct LV RTE (runtime engine). You can think of the LV RTE as of the .NET framework.

Please note that most drivers and runtime engines from National Instruments are free of charge for deployment. But there are some runtime engines which are liable to costs.

you said you have an Executable! did you not?

refer to the link below:

and study the LabVIEW manuals and check some more tutorials on the forum to know how to build an EXE.

good luck
