Exe Load Time

[Sable]

Hi,

The LabVIEW application (.exe file) I built takes about 11-12 secs to load.

I am wondering why is this and is there any way I could speed it up?

The application uses .NET.

Hi Sable,

does it always take that time or only on first start?

The generic answer is: create some kind of SplashScreen window. Then load other lodules of your program in the background of that splashscreen to improve UX…

Every time.

SplashScreen window doesn't really help the loading time.

Hi Sable,

SplashScreen window doesn't really help the loading time.

But it creates a better UX: the user actually sees the application is working. Even more, when there is a progress bar to indicate the loading process!

Waiting for 10s is acceptable for me. Starting Word or Excel may take longer…
