I have a completed, working LabVIEW 7.1 application. It is 'Built' as an executable file. If I have a long distance user buy the required NI hardware, will my exe file recognize the front end and work?

Hi,
The LabVIEW runtime engine is available for download from NI. So you can send the exe files and they should work fine.
Depending on the hardware and the code you might have them set up the hardware using MAX or a Max configuration file.
Not sure what you mean by "front end".

You should be able to create an installer that automatically includes the everything needed to run your applicaton.
Exported MAX configuration
LabVIEW Run-Time
DAQmx Run-Time
MAX

The exported Max config file is most probably my problem. I have sent them the RunTime engine adn the executable. I think I understand. I need to send them the Max config files.
Thanks!

One question on the MAX. The user on the other end has to run that and then create the MAX configuration, correct?

You can export your DAQmx configuration and then have the installer run the import for you automatically. It works fairly well in my experience.

New versions of the application builder allow you to set up the installer to automatically import the inluded MAX configuration. I've never run the version that you are using so I can't say for sure.
The general idea is to get the NI hardware and drivers installed on the target PC, make sure that the device is named the same as it was on the development machine and then import the MAX configuration. At this point your .exe should be able to run.
