Can I run the datasocket server without LabVIEW

[Bill Choy]

Hi all

I want to run the datasocket server on a PC without LabVIEW. Could I just install LabVIEW runtime engine and copy the whole DataSocket folder on that PC to use the server?

Best regards
Bill

You don't even need the LabVIEW runtime engine. Datasocket can be installed and run independently.

You can run the DataSocket server by itself without LabVIEW. In fact it does not require the LabVIEW runtime engine. Try simply to copy the DataSocket folder to the new machine. It may require some system run-time DLLs which you may have not installed on the additional machine. Using a tool such as DEPENDS (included in Visual Studio) you can determine any additional dependencies and copy the additional DLLs. The attached image is the list of dependencies for the DS Server. In addition the DS Server Manager requires MSVBVM60.DLL to run.
