How can I port VI's to C++ without having to re-write the code in C++?

We have a LabVIEW application (6.1) which we need to port to C++. Looking for a 3rd-party application which will automatically (or semi-automatically) turn the VI's into C++ code.

If you have the application builder, you can create a dll out of the VIs and access the dll in C++. You will need to distribute the LabVIEW run time engine however. I am not familiar with another way to use or convert LV code for use in C++.

Jeremy,
Thanks very much for the answer. I'll pursue the direction you suggested to see if that will work for us, but my first guess would be that we'll just use AppBuilder to create the executable version of the VI project and go from there.

Thanks again,
Hal Curling, ITT/AES
