Run-Time Engine Installation ?

[jpday]

I currently have LabVIEW Developer Suite 6.0 for both PC (Windows NT/2000) and the Mac OS . We are developping a number of executables that will be run on Windows NT 4.0 hosts . I have a few questions.
1.) Is there an installer for the run-time engine that I can use to place the run-time engie on the image of the target machines. I have stumbled on the back-door method of including the run-time installation in the installer for an application. but I would prefer to install the run-time engine once on all of the target machines (there are about 60 of them).
2.) Are executables cross-platform ? Will an executable that is built on a PC/MAC run on a MAC/PC ?
3.) Does anything change when we get LabVIEW 6.1 ?

The installer for the LabVIEW run-time engine can be found at \..\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\AppLibs\installs. You will need separate run-time engines for the PC and Mac as executables are not cross-platform. To run an executable on a PC, you will need to use the PC version of the application builder and to run an executable on a Mac, you will need the Mac application builder. When you get 6.1, if you build an application with it, you will need to install a 6.1 run-time engine.
