LabVIEW on Raspberry Pi 3

No this won't work, you will have an x86 Linux made binary trying to be ran on an ARM processor.  It doesn't matter if the operating system is Linux, you won't be able to install it and run it.  

Thank you.

I tried LVRTE 2017 32 bit and also LV setup.exe but both of them showed the same error about msi.dll, now I'm trying to install LVRTE 2018 32 bit.

Maybe try an older RTE before trying a newer one.  There might be some dependency on something normally available in Windows that isn't in this ARM build.  Here is an EXE I made a while ago using LabVIEW 7.1.  I included all the RTE files so it should run without having to be installed.  Just extract the zip and run File Renamer.exe.  If you see anything then that is a start.  Obviously 7.1 is ancient, but it is a start.

This is great! Thank you! I tried, then it opened succesfully without error. You can see your project on my Raspberry Computer via Windows 10  

I don't know what it does, how it works and which it has functions about your main.vi but I want to try at my .vi project. How can I run like yours? (My project exe was done LV 2017 32 bit)

It will rename all files on your C:\ drive...

Sweet, I wrote that program when I was first learning LabVIEW.  It can programatically rename files or folders.  So do things like search for all files with some text and replace it with something else, or convert all file extensions, etc.

Yeah I doubt you'll be able to get your program to be written in the same way mine was.  It was written in LabVIEW 7.1 which is about 15 years old, and in software development terms it might as well be written on stone tablets.  It probably is only officially supported on Windows XP, but because it was so old it could have the RTE included, and relied on fewer modern things that might not be there in this version of Windows.  I think ultimately you'll need to try to figure out why your OS doesn't have the MSI installer components required for installing LabVIEW.  There might be other options like ThinApp or other software to make an application portable.  Really I'm just trying to come up with ways to get a LabVIEW RTE going without having to install it, unless there is a way to force it to be installed.  I really wish I had a Pi and time to play around with it myself.

I think someone pulled that off with 8.something, managing to run an application without running the installer.

Has anyone actually tried to run an installer? It might just work...

[Hooovahh]

The screenshot from earlier showed that the installer had issues.  First complaining of a Windows Installer Engine being corrupt because msi.dll wasn't registered.  I'm wondering if the MSI installer isn't included in this version of Windows for whatever reason.  Just speculating since I don't have the system.

EDIT: Here is a link that might help in getting it working.

Could you elaborate on what you did exactly?

I installed (with some effort) the Insider Windows for RPi 3B+, but I only get a shell-less windows...

When I try to run the LV7 executable, it says "not supported on this OS" .

I'm using RPi 3B. But I didn't apply different things. I only run exe file.

Yes, right. I want to implement this to my project.
