REMOVE ALL OR disable internet connection for the build

[richjoh]

I building an application that uses absolutly no internet or network connectivity, is there way to remove all unused functionality the goes out probes the firewall of my pc...

its annoying to me I don't have a 1 click to remove my app from accessing past the firewall. My app has no use for web access.

Hi richjoh,

There isn't an option within LabVIEW to disable network communication.  The best option is to set exceptions for your firewall and make sure the necessary ports are open.

what if I remove apps like system32\lads.exe etc etc that trigger my Macafee firewall. There must be a way, I'm not using networking, SV or anything requiring network connection for this particular app. When I install apps, not need internet access, I don't like to see it trigger my firewall

I'm fairly sure you can disable the behaviour of LabVIEW applications trying to bind to a socket for their built in VI server or web service. Other than that I'm not aware that a LabVIEW application would attempt to do anything with the socket library unless you explicitedly use TCP/IP or UDP Vis.

Make sure you have

server.tcp.enabled=False
WebServer.Enabled=False

in your built applications INI file. This is the default so leaving out these lines should have the same effect. But since LabVIEW 8.x tends to copy certain settings from your LabVIEW ini into the ini file for built applications if you do not provide your own ini file, settings to enable those services could make it into your built application INI file.
