[V.S]

can I download it free?

[Freelance_LV]

can you download what free? the NI Applicaiton builder comes with LabVIEW installation. If you noticed, the Resources page for Windows Application Buidler gives you LabVIEW Evaluation software to download for FREE..

if you have LabVIEW in the first case, you can build an executable for your vi, without downloading anything else.

in the link which was already given in an earlier posts, there were other related links which had help on building executables.

have you read them?

again for your reference:

btw.. which version of LabVIEW are you using?

[Dennis_Knutson]

The app builder only comes with the professional version of LabVIEW. So, if you do not have that, it is not free.

tnx for ur help.

HI, 

         General setting

While creating the project we should add additional library.

1)      LVclass: The LAB VIEW class is the control module. This module is used to manage the labVIEW classes. By declaring a VI to be a friend, the library is giving that other VI special permission. By declaring another library to be a friend, this library is giving the entire member VIs of that other library the special permission.

2)      NIReport lib: This library is to add report generation tools like excel, HTML in the project. When any VI is running at that time it may generate the report. So to create the report, append report, delete report, and close report etc this extra library should be added.

HOW TO ADD ABOVE LIBRARYS TO A PROJECT?

• Open the project window.
• Right click on the my computer.
• Add à folder (Snapshot).
• Go to C à Program files à National instruments  à labVIEW 2011 à vi.lib à Utility à open LVClass à press current folder  
• Repeat the same procedure for NIReport.lib.

exe setting

• Right click on the builds specification.
• Click on the New then Application (EXE).
• Before creating installer ensure the following that in the destination directory we need to mention two paths namely for .exe file & for support directory.
• Support directory having the path of database file.
• In all the VIs the path of database is same as installer file.
• So here both path should be same as shown below
• Enter the required input & create the .exe file.

May vary from application to application
