Peter,
There are only two places where it a CVI program looks for the CVI RTE:
1) on the windows system folder
2) on the same folder where the application is located
In both cases, the CVI RTE needs to be on the same machine. With this in mind, if you have the CVI RTE on the network and then try to run a CVI program on a local machine where the CVI RTE is not installed, your program will not be able to find the CVI RTE. It will not find it because it's not in any of those two common places.
Now if you are trying to run the same application on several machines, it makes sense to install the application, along with the CVI RTE, on the network. This way, each machine can run it off the network and the program will find the CVI RTE. Note that this approach might be
a bit slower since internally there needs to be a copy of the program on the local machine.
Let me know if you have further questions.
