What version of Labview was used to build my .exe?

[s]

Is there a way to tell what runtime engine I need for a particular .exe
built by application builder?

Thanks,

On newer versions, You can just try to run it and it will tell what's missing. (On very old LabVIEW versions, (e.g. 4.1) you don't need a runtime, everything is contained in the executable.)

If it is already running on a machine and you want to know the version it is using, do "help..about" (unless the menu is hidden or highly customized).

Don't forget to also install NiDAQ, etc. on the target system as needed.

You can always install multiple runtime versions concurrently. They coexist peacefully and LabVIEW will pick the right one for each application.

I know....old thread, but you can open the .exe in notepad and search for "Run-time". Then you can see something like this:

Run-Time c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time %ProgramFiles%\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW Run-Time LVRT 15.0
