Bo,

there is also something called vi player thats available for free, you can
download it from ni.com. I haven't used it, but I believe it allows people
without labview to run vi's if they download the player. if you want a exe
file though, you do need application builder.

LabVIEW Player has some limitations that must be known if you plan to use
it. Here is a notice I received from NI about LV Player. You can look at the
following page for more information about it:

http://www.ni.com/labview/lv_player2.htm

Hope that helps.

Hi Bo,

What you want to do is exactly possible by Application builder,
able to be loaded by project(main menu)>>create application.
If you cannot see "create application" on the menu, you need to
install Application builder for your purpose. Hope to help.

Thanks,
Tom

As best as I can remember, LabVIEW support for Windows 3.x was dropped when
version 5 came out. Even when it was supported, I think you had to have a
separate app builder.

Bo,

I have not experienced in Win3.1 or 3.11 yet, but they
are involved in capable operating systems as description
in "os.dat" file, at APPLIB\installs\RunTime. You need
not worry about avalilability I think.

Thanks,
Tom

Depends on your version of LabVIEW. Versions 2.1 through to 4 came in
flavours to run under Win3.x. Unfortunately versions 5 or greater do not
support EXE's that will work under earlier versions of windows (such as
3.x).
