LV 7.1 application builder

[JE]

Is it possible to make an executable with LV 7.1 that would run by itself on any other machine? - If not, I guess I need to install run-time engine. How do I install run-time engine?

Thanks,

Jerome.

The lower-priced LabVIEW packages do not come with the ability to create standalone EXEs from LabVIEW VIs. Check under the Tools menu to see whether you have a "Build Application or Shared Library (DLL)" option. If not, you'll have to upgrade to the Professional package or purchase the Application Builder separately.

As for the run-time engine: this is freely downloadable here and will allow you to execute LabVIEW-created EXEs on any target machine, but that won't help you unless you can use the App Builder to create EXEs in the first place.

Hope that's clear,
John

You need runtime engine 100%. If you use the application builder on LV 7.1, It can include the runtime engine as part of your application Installer file.
