Does anyone know how to build an exe file of a complete dsc system ?

Creating an exe file of a VI that uses dsc components is not that difficult, although it could be easier. But, I also use vi-servers to communicate with the tagengine, and this is where I fall short. The document "viserver.pdf" located in the labview\manuals folder, describes how to create, develop and test VI-based servers using vis from the DSC Server Development
palette. But how should a vi-server be handled when used with an application that among other things uses a taglist (scf file) that requires certain vi-servers to run to update tag values etc. I have found that one option is to include the vi-servers in the "LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.0", register them there and include all vis needed f
or them to run in subfolders of the "LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.0". Servers will not load vis from the \vi.lib folder nor from \user.lib or any other \labview 7.0 folder. Can these servers instead be created as exe files, and how can this be done ?

Soren,

sorry but it's not possible to build an executable from a vi-based server. You need to distribute this type of server as an llb. Please follow this link to the NI knowledge base for more information:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/082B10137820BF5886256C250062DBB4?OpenDocument

The document is not very specific which options you should use when you save your server vis but I assume it should be "Application Distribution".

Best regards,
