Hi
This is not very difficult ,all you need is an application builder.
If you don't have one you can get it from NI.
Good luck,

Hi

You should have an application builder, which comes along with LabVIEW Proffesional Development System and if you are having that

1.open a new vi, go to Tools, click "Build Application and Shared Library"
2.Enter the details of the target file name.exe, and its location
3.In the "Source files" option enter the top level vi
4.Create an icon for your aplcation.
5.if you want the installer of the software for installing the runtime engine and software in another machine

Hope this info is sufficient for you

When y create my MainVi.EXE and run it; there's an error message telling that files paths are untraceable (not found)How can y create the executable whose integrate the files called by the "labview_Dll_function_call"
Thank you for your help

Hello Novice programeur,

To create a LV executable whose integrate some files you should add these files in :

Dynamic VI - If you are loading VIs dynamically (e.g., using the VI Server), then you must add them to your application by using this option. The dynamically loaded VIs will be incorporated as part of the executable file (.exe), but only if you add them here.

Support File - This is for any extra files that you want to either ship with your application (such as a PDF file), or for files that your application might need, such as an .ini file, or a data file. This is the place to add the "altered" LabVIEW.ini file for your application; i.e., change the first line in the LabVIEW.ini file from [ LabVIEW ] to [ MyApplication ], and save this file with the name MyApplication.ini (instead of LabVIEW.ini).

Note: You can set destination properties and update options by using the Custom Destinations button.

I hope this help.
Let me know if you have further questions.

PS : If you have more question, can you explain more what your program do?
