is it possible to create a vi-file in an .exe file with labview 6.1i? and how to create it?

[Gnurt]

Hello,

I want to create a vi-file into an exe-file but don't know how to do it with labview 6.1i.

Maybe somebody here can give me hints to do it!



thank you very much!

Rename the .exe to .llb, and get all VIs out, combine with the new VI, create a new exe.

hello Mr Zhou,

I don't really know if you have understood my question or I on't understand youranswer:-)

So want to reapeat my problem again,

i have an vi-file and want this file converted in an .exe file. what are the steps to do that!

I'm just a labview beginner.

To build EXEs you need the application builder. To see if you have it, open the tools menu. If you have an option named "Build application or shared library", you're OK. Just open it and you can set up your app there. To run this application, a computer would have to have the LV run-time engine, which can be downloaded from the NI site. For the first time you deploy the app, you should use the app builder to create an installer, which will install the run-time engine as well as your app.
If you don't have it you can purchase it seperately from NI.

You want to compilate your application, isn't it ?

In the menu "Tools" and "Build an application or a DLL..." (only if you bought a LabVIEW version with the builder) :

- Close all the VI of your program
- Open a new VI (blank VI)
- "Tools"
- "Build an application or a DLL..."
- Choose the main VI of your program.
- Select the different options...
- Build your EXE file.

Then, you can run it in an other computer where you want but you have to install first LabVIEW on this computer or only the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine (free EXE on the CDRom with the builder or perhaps on NI web site).
Perhaps you can add the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine directly in your EXE file when you build it to obtain a real standalone application.

thanks very much for your fast answers.

I think that my labviewversion does not have the tool you meant, but I'm not sure because i have a german version ,maybe you could have a look to my tools.

No, you don't have it. If you had, it would have been near VI-Bibliothek bearbeiten.
Contact your local NI office or search this site for the application builder.

Halo !

Sorry, the option is before "VI Bibliotheken..." so you don't have it.
Gutes Glück because this option is as exepensive as LabVIEW alone !!!

hello,

i see the problem, so i have to try asking my highschool to convert my Vi-file in .exe-file. I'm sure they have the application tool you meant! Impotant for me is the way to solve the problem, so I'm very thankful to you.

this forum is the best!
