problem with paralllel port when using executable

[Esther van der Heide]

I searched the forum and haven't found the answer to this problem. I have made a executable for a machine where no Labview is installed (I tested it for Windows 98 as well as Windows XP). I want to use a parallel port. I use inport and outport. I developed the program in Labview 7.0 and want to sent 4 bit signals to the parallel port. It is working fine when using a computer with Labview. I hope that someone can help me with solving this problem

Hello,

This is probably because the Port I/O support is not checked. You have to build an Installer instead of just an executable. Go to the last tab (Installer Settings) in the Application Builder. Check "create installer". Now click on Advanced en check Port I/O support. The rest of the settings can be made as you did before for the executable. Now build the installer. Install this installer on the target PC en check if it works.
