Hi,
I have an desktop application and the following are the functionalities of the same.
1. User inputs the data file with path (log file) to parse the required data.
2. Once the user enters the path and starts the tool with start button, the tool parse the required data in terms of records and gives the records (creates output file containing all the useful records).
3. Have popup window to display a group of data.
4. Have popup to Plot graph. When a button is pressed in main GUI, the popup is opened giving scroll bar menus to choose the data for the graph. User after selecting the data (multiple Y axis) press another button to plot the graph. The input to this popup is the output file generated by this tool.
5. The main GUI has buttons (play, step forward, step backward, reverse play, pause, stop, 1st record, last record - like tape recorder buttons) to play the records one by one.
This application is used by many people and since its a desktop application (created in labview 2009), the user every time has to manually install the newer version.
"So it is required to make the application into web based so that, the user can individually access the tool at the same time (different instances same as desktop app) and run their own data files from their system. The output files to be stored in the respective user's system."
Can this be done using Web Publishing or Web Services present in LabView?
I tried using Web Publishing but it gives control to only one user at a time and loading the files from the client path to run the tool is not possible.

Simple.
If all you are worried about are updates, just put the EXE on a shared network drive and have your users launch it from there.
