How can I run a vi developed with 7 Express?

How can I run a vi developed with LabView 7 Express on another machine ? Do runtime versions exist ?

Apparently, you want to run it on a machine that does not have LabVIEW installed.

To make a standalone executable of your LabVIEW program, you need to have the Application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and higher, avaliable as an add-on for base and full).
To run the application, the target system need to have the LabVIEW 7.0 runtime installed (available as a free download).

There is also the LabVIEW Player. In this case you need to digitally sign your VIs and there are a few limitations. It is meant for for sharing code ideas and is not a viable substitute for the appl
ication builder.

Of course you could also get a second copy of LabVIEW.


Some other options that would work in a very narrow set of situations: Read your LabVIEW license agreement. Under certain conditions you are allowed to install a second copy of LabVIEW on your home computer. If this is for personal educational use only and you qualify, you could also buy the LabVIEW student edition.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably have to get Application Builder for the other platform.
