Application builder and Vision Vi:s

[thomas-j]

Hi! I have used the application builder (LV6.1) but when I run the .exe file on the other computer it wants me to find the NIVisSvc.dll and NIVision.dll? The manual says that the application builder includes all the vi:s used!? How to solv this? Must I include some files because I am using some vision vi:s when I build the .exe file?

Thomas. To distribute executables that contain Vision VIs, you need to have the IMAQ Vision Deployment Engine (which comes with one license.) For each additional computer you install the .exe file, you need an additional IMAQ Vision Deployment License.

You can purchase the engine and the licenses here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&cid=2881

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much! I solved the problem temporarily by making installation files instead and adding the missing files. But when I run the program on the other computer a message appeared that said something like "only for demonstration purposes". So I have to by the license!

Thaiski,

First each computer that you want to deploy your application must have an active licence for the IMAQ Vision Deployment Engine. If it has a licence you may need to verify that the licence is active. If it does not have the IMAQ Vision Deployment Engine you will need to purchase it for each computer on which you deploy the application before it will work. To do this follow the link provided by the previous post by Kyle V.

Here are two excellent KnowledgeBase Articles which may also help with additional knowledge on this topic:

I got an email from our local seller. He said we need NI Vision Run - Time for another computer. Is the NI Vision Run Time  a IMAQ Vision Deployment Engine ????
Sorry but I have two different informations and I need to know.

Thank you for help

Hi thaiski,

The Vision Run Time Engine is what is required to run .exe files that were created in Labview using vision functions.  Without it you will not be able to run the .exe file.  Hope that helps.
