The run-time engine and the application builder are two seperate items.
The Application builder allows you to create standalone executable files for distribution.
The executable is normally distributed with the run-time engine which contains most common LabVIEW functions in external libraries (Previous versions included all of these functions within the executable file resulting in even the simplest program being around 3 MB). The advantage is that the run-time engine now only needs to be installed once on each target computer, regardless how many LabVIEW programms are installed.
The application builder needs to be purchased from National Instruments, and as far as I know, the run-time engine will be included with this.
