visa find resource not working with .exe

[bob123321]

Having problems with the VISA resource finder while in built into an .exe.  The following error occurs -1073807202.

The weird thing is it's not happening on every computer.  They are all running
Windows XP with Runtime 8.5.1.  I have reinstalled Runtime with no
success. 

Does anyone know what could be wrong with the computer with Runtime or what
could be wrong with the original vi?

Hi bob123321,

have you installed the VISA runtime Engine?

did you install VISA run time engine?

[bob123321]

Yes I have installed Runtime engine version 8.5.1 twice and the problem is still present.

Hi Bob,

i mean the VISA runtime, not the LabVIEW runtime. Is it what you have installed?

it would be better if you create an installer using LabVIEW instead of just playing with EXE.

select labVIEW run time engine and VISA run time engine as additional installers while creating installer.......

It seems the VISA runtime is working for the two computers that were having problems.  However it's strange to me that the other computer I'm running the same .exe it works without the VISA Runtime?

Thank you

VISA doesn't work if you haven't installed it! It's that simple.

If it works you have VISA installed, either independantly or as part of some other NI software such as the LabVIEW development system.

Ya it turns out another guy here installed runtime on all the computer awhile back and didn't tell me.  Only the new computers had the problem.

thanks for the help
