Compact Stand-alone Executables

Status: New

Not sure if this has changed in the latest version of LabVIEW, but when an executable is created it is either:

1) Stand-alone and includes the run-time engine (or equivalent)

2) An executable that relies on the run-time engine also being installed.

 

In either case, the executable (+run-time engine) is very large.

 

For simple applications, would it be possible to have compact stand-alone executables that pulls in only the essential "run-time" items thereby resulting in a compact stand-alone executable.

 

Great for when you want to email someone who, doesn't have the LabVIEW run-time engine, some simple LabVIEW programme. (And even if they did have the run-time engine, it's probably not the applicable one for the LabVIEW version in question.)

It's been discussed many times. Time to fix it.
