Ordinal 2011 error going from dev. to .exe

[mojorisin]

Going from development system to .exe system I get an "Ordinal 2011 could not be found in nidaq32.dll" error. Is this related to the use of NI-VISA configure serial port? Can I use VISA in an executable?

You definitely can use VISA in an executable, however you need NI-VISA on your target machine in order to run the program successfully. Have you made sure that NI-VISA is installed on your target? If it already is, we'll troubleshoot the problem further.

LoganS Thanks for the info. I haven't have a chance to get back to look at the .exe, but I think I had the NI-VISA on the target machine. Let me ask you this, can that(NI-VISA)be part of the installer that you create at the time you create the .exe.

[LoganS]

Yes and no. Currently, you can't just select an option in the Application Builder to install NI-VISA as part of an application installation. However, you can include a the NI-VISA Run Time Engine (RTE) setup and other necessary files in your build, and call a batch file afterwards which runs the installation. The following KB for more information about this (it references LabVIEW 6.1, but it should still work for later versions).
