You can communicate with any exe using the system exec vi, assuming you know the comand line parameters, pipe the return value back to labview. you can also modify it to work like a c function (more work) and call it from a cin node. I always liked genetic algorithms, should be no controversy about them since they use darwinism through an intelligent design.

You can run most applications from a command line using the location/application.exe (where the location is where the executable is stored), all c++ applications run using: int main (int argc, char **argv); where the argc is the number of arguments and argv is essentially a string table with the parameters passed to the program (will be used as code) the output if a command line application is the std out which can be piped to file or wired out from the standard out terminal. To pass parameters from your LV code to the command line you should know the parameter list (sometimes empty).
