Runtime 8.5

[Veeru]

Hi

I have created a program and build an exe of that, now i like to open this program in a computer where there is no LabVIEW runtime installed, the idea is to open the exe file so that it installs the runtime and then opens the program,is that possible to do ?

Thanks

No.

Think about it. You need the runtime engine installed for the exe to run. How can the exe start and install the runtime if the runtime is not installed in the first place? You are placing the cart before the horse.

p.s. Try to use a subject that comes a littel closer to describing the problem.

Hi Veeru,

You can create an installer which will install both LabVIEW runtime engine and exe in the other computer.

Thanks,

Thanks Dennis

Yes i do accept that but my boss said that, "for sure" we can do that, so i thought there could be a possibility. Now i am sure that we can't do that

Thanks

Your boss could learn a little about (actually a lot) of LabVIEW before any promises are made. If the boss does not learn LabVIEW, if he's smart, he will ask the experts first.

Thanks

Sanad, could you pls explain in detail

Creating an installer is described in pretty good detail in the LabVIEW help. It's an option in the project, just like creating an exe or dll. Right click on Build Specifications. You must have seen the installer option when you created your exe.
