LabVIEW Home Bundle

[Kimlorentz]

I am using LabView Full Development system at work and was thinking about using labview at home, car and so on.

Can the LabVIEW Home Bundle create an .exe file to be able to install on any pc output LabVIEW Home Bundle installed?

I think you are asking if LabVIEW Home Edition comes with the Application Builder?

Yes it does, so you can create standalone executables with LabVIEW Home Edition. 

I have not done it yet but the front panels in LabVIEW Home Edition are watermarked, so I assume the compiled executables will also be watermarked

Yes, you do not need LabVIEW Home installed on the destination PC, just the LV 2014 Runtime. It can only be used for non-commercial purposes.

Which if it wasn't clear has no monetary cost.  You can install the runtime engine on as many computers as you want.  And using the application builder you can make installers for your program, which can optionally include the runtime engine.  It will mean the distribution of your program will be larger (since it includes the runtime engine) but will mean that (ideally) all the necessary dependencies for your program will be installed so any fresh install of Windows will run your program.

Tnx for th help.

I am going to test this out and se.

I have a loot of Projects with the use of different Devices and the LabView will make it easy to test it out before I create an end product.

It's a lot of fun for $50.  Keeps your LabVIEW skills sharp, too.  🙂

According to https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/compatibility/17/labview-and-microsoft-windows-compatibi... LV 2014 (Home) is compatible with Windows 10.

But Digilent states on https://store.digilentinc.com/labview-home-bundle/ that: NI does not officially support LabVIEW Home on Windows 10 because Windows 10 was released after LabVIEW Home. Digilent uses LabVIEW Home on Windows 10 regularly and has not found any compatibility issues.

Any insights if the 2014 RunTime works on WIN 10?

thanks in advance

I guess it's like all questions about compatibility; it probably works, but if you run into weird glitches, NI probably can't help you, and we might not be able to, either.  That being said, I've heard that NI generally tries to help with even unofficially supported combos of Windows and LV.
