Newbie question

[chrni47]

In general, I would like to create an executable only version of my VI, so I can run this VI without having the developmental version of LabVIEW installed on the PC?

[santo_13]

Yes, possible, though LabVIEW development environment is not required on the PC it is run on, LabVIEW runtime engine is required.

You need the application builder to create standalone applications. (included in some versions. What do you have?)

[PalanivelThiruvenkadam]

You have to understand lot more on the LabVIEW Environment.

1. You should have a properly structured Project Files mapped with your Developed Code Module, which will look something like below

2.You need to Create Application (EXE)

3.If you want to install in a PC where no LabVIEW Platform (NI Runtime Engine) you should create Installer.

Note: Input to your Installer will be your application.

Check Below image for better understanding.

Note: You should have application builder license to carry out above process.

I have two different LabVIEW developmental installations to work with:

And

LabVIEW base development system, version 21.0.1f2(64-bit)

To use the application builder, you need LabVIEW professional or add the application builder to what you have

You can compare versions, especially the "code deployment and distribution" section here.

The easiest and surest way to find out if you have the Application Builder, is to open the NI Licence Manager and see...

okay thank you very much,

yours was the best help of all

I have LabVIEW 2020,I have a green dot for application builder.

I have a single VI (.vi), I want to convert that to a run time version?

Can I do it?
