Compile to .exe

[Kristof Poppe]

Is there a way to compile a whole library to an EXE file.
I've heard it was possible, but don't find it in the menu's.
This is the situation.

I wrote a library with a main VI in it.
This VI start automatically when double clicked on the library ICON,
and when I press the Exit but in this VI, labVIEW automatically shuts
completely down.

But when I remove labview from the PC, my library doesn't work anymore.

Every hint, tip is welcome !

Thanks !!

Kristof,

To build an EXE, you have to have Application Builder. This is part of the LV Professional Development System, or you can buy it separately.

If you don't have App Builder, you have to have the LV development system on the computer.

Hi Kristof,

for building an executable file out of you library you have to use the
application builder. After compiling you always need the LabView drivers
to run the executable. If you have deleted all LabVIEW components you
have to install the LabVIEW Runtime Engine on that PC for running your
program.

If you are using LabVIEW 6i and you application is "simple" (i.e. no DAQ,
TCP, etc), you can also use the free LabVIEW player to run it without having
LabVIEW installed.

The LabVIEW player is mainly designed to share programming ideas, not to
built industrial strength application. One advantage with the player is the
fact that you can actually look at the diagram.
