Unfortunately, you cannot decode an EXE to get the VI

The block diagrams in a build executable are NOT disabled. They are simply not there, nada, futschi, gone!

There is NO way to get them back, as they don't exist in the executable.

You will need to find the source code that was used to build that executable.

There may be a chance that exe was created with debugging enabled. If this is true, it may contain the diagrams You are after. Check this: https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/Debugging_Executables

While this is technically true, 99.9% of all LabVIEW executables that get distributed for real use by someone else than the programmer, are build with debugging disabled and therefore the diagrams removed. Mostly because that is the default, but also partly because many people build executables to have their diagrams not exposed (be it to protect precious IP or save themselves from embarrassment for the spaghetti diagram 😁 ).
