Using source distribution on computer with no Labview

[abdel2]

I am trying to make my application moduler. I have created an executable for the main application which will run on a computer with no Labview development software on it. In that application, can I run vis that are just located on the hard drive in separate folder (distributed source), or do I have to build an executable for each module?

How are you calling the other VIs? If these VIs are already called in the application itself, then they would be included automatically in the executable when you are building them.

If these are VIs that are based on the machine where you are running the executable, then you could run the VIs by using VI Server calls in the executable.

I didn't think Vi server would be able to reference a vi that has no application associated with it. I just tried it and it worked.

I guess local applications lets you open any vi that is present on the local computer even if it isn't statically linked to the application.

Thanks!
