Does LabView port to PCs wo LabView installed?

[Jimsonweed]

I have a trial lab view and have used it in the past at companies where I did some development work, although it has been a long time.

My question is, if I develop an "instrument" in labview, can I run it on a PC that does not have labview installed?

If every PC has to have labview installed, it is going to drive me to a different solution just based on cost.

Thanks.

You dont need to install labview in all the PCs.You can create the exe and installer file for that.

Hello Jimsonweed,

In short- absolutely, although you'll need the LabVIEW Application Builder for the OS family you're distributing to (Windows/OSX/Linux).  This is included in LabVIEW Professional. Here are a few pointers to get you started:

LabVIEW Help: Building a Stand-Alone Application

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/building_a_stand_alone_app/ 

Building standalone executables is also covered fairly extensively in LabVIEW Core training- the online self-paced version is included in the (support you get with the) LabVIEW development license.  I believe you should also be able to use a trial version of the Application Builder with your evaluation license, but the applications built will only run for a minute or so before closing automatically.

One other thing I should clarify-

You'll still need to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine (RTE) on the computer you intend to run the standalone executable on- this can be distributed freely and you would typically include it in the installer for your executable. So, no- you don't need a LabVIEW license for each computer, but you'll need the LabVIEW RTE installed.

Also when creating installer file in the Advanced tab uncheck Require the labview XX bit system or later.

In my experience this has been off by default.

Yes it may be but if first time it is checked then second time it will be checked by default
