First, you need to own the Application Builder. Does LabVIEW let you Build EXE?

Hey Bebeto,

 

First you will have to build a project to contain the VI.  Once the VI is located in a project, you can then simply right click on Build Specifications in the project explorer and select new Application (.exe).  You can find more details on this in the Software Engineering with Labview tutorial.  To run this on a computer without Labview, the computer will have to have the Labview runtime engine (which I believe is free).  Cheers, Matt

The LabVIEW application builder is only included in LabVIEW professional or higher. If you only have LabVIEW base or full, you need purchase it.

 

What LabVIEW version do you have? What level?

Hello All,

 

I have the LabVIEW 8.6.1 Professional Development System

 

I could not find the option on the Project Explorer to make it EXE as mentioned before.

One can also try to read the manual.

And for step-by-step instructions, open Help and go to 'stand-alone applications'. You'll see an example and how-to listed.
