Labview 2016 EXE and Windows 10

[altenbach]

• After you install the application, is lvanlys.dll present in the "data" folder next to it?
• Is this a real windows 10 PC or some lite version, e.g. a tablet.
• Did you really include the full LabVIEW run time engine or just e.g. the "browser plugin" version?
• Have you tried installing the 2016 run time engine separately? Any errors?
• Are you running any specific security or AV software?

I had a similar problem a year ago, my application worked on 3 computers, the 4th just refused to run the application. From all i could gather they were identical. For some reason it didn't read the DLL in the subfolder, but found it if i placed it alongside the .exe, though then stuff got broken due to paths.

We ended up reinstalling the computer, then everything worked fine.

All 4 were Win7-rigs in this case.

Short answer is Yes....I've attached a pic which illustrates the build files that were created. The installer will reference the build files of the VI (in my case ETM_ADC_DAC.exe) and the lvanlys.dll is present)

• Is this a real windows 10 PC or some lite version, e.g. a tablet.

Real version, which is on my new Lenovo desktop

• Did you really include the full LabVIEW run time engine or just e.g. the "browser plugin" version?

I used the steps to create the Stand-Alone application which adds the real run time engine.

• Have you tried installing the 2016 run time engine separately? Any errors?

I have not tried this...I will install it separately and build my application again. Cross-fingers

• Are you running any specific security or AV software?

I've turned off and firewall and/or security settings I know of, because I know that could affect he install.

I dont have the option to reinstall Win10, but If I did have that option, I would install Win7 instead... Win 10 had bugs when it was initially released and it apparently still does.

All, the computer in question is a new desktop that I have in my home, its a personal computer that I want as a test bench for my pcb designs. BUT, my company is also converting to Win10 and today was my first day hearing about many software applications that we use are not working with this OS. IF you are converting your work environment to Win10, please take caution.

If you search your computer for lvanlys.dll, are there other versions? Could it be that a completely unrelated dll with the same name is already in memory?

If you right-click the application and select "run as administrator", do you still get the same error?
