Software to be installed to run LabWindows redistributable on Window XP ?

[Kanu]

Hi All,

I have wrote a Hello World kind of GUI in LabWindows. I require to run its reditributable on Windows XP OS which doesn't have any LabWindows software installed on it. I tried running its redistributable on on Windows XP; However, I got some errors. How should I proceed ? Are the libraries files required to be installed ?

Thanks,

Kanu

Hi Kanu, you cannot simply copy a CVI executable on a new machine to have it run: the minimum requirement is to install the CVI runtime Engine on the target system; after thet, your software may require some additional component or driver to succesfully run.

This knowledgebase article discusses this subject in detail and explains how to create a distribution kit that installs all necessary software on the target machine. See also the additional links on that page and the online help sections referred to by the article.

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for your se far. I am able to generate redistributable successfully and run it on different computers. I have a question though. I was wondering if different versions of same distributable could be run one machine side by side ? or installing a different version overwrites the previos one ?

Thanks,

Kanu

Hi Kanu,

I've attached a tutorial page that will give you more information on CVI distribution. Please read the General Settings section regarding distribution versions.
