Is there any way to turn a .exe into a .vi again?

Solved!
Go to solution

I am tasked with trying to make a .exe file (published on LabVIEW) selfpopulate an Excel file with the data it gets from a test. In order to do this I would need to take a look at the block diagram to see what the heck is going on; however, it is a .exe file and we do not have the source code?

 

Is there any way of getting around this other than re-engineering the whole VI?

 

Thanks ahead.

Nope, sorry! You need the source code to be able to view/rebuild the VI.

 

(While I'm not 100% sure, you might be able to see the block diagram if debugging was enabled on the executable when it was built and then connect to it using 'Operate -> Debug Application or Shared Library...')
