Application builder

[sushmith_ks]

Hello,

          I was using LabView 2011 Full Development System. I recently bought Application builder with LabView 2012 update. Everything is installed now and up to date. What is the procedure to create an exe file? I have done it using tools>>build application. I copied the exe created and tried to use in other computer, but unfortunately its not working. Its giving me error saying "Run Time Engine not found". 

         was my procedure wrong? Is there any method to create distribution kit? like in CVI?

You need to include run time engine when you create setup file. Install the setup file first time which will install the run time engine also(But you need to include it manually when building setup file). Next time you can run your exe file(No need to install the setup file again).

Hello,

First build exe and then go for creating Installer for EXE you built.

Go to LabVIEW help and search for "building a standalone application"

In LV help search for "building an installer"

Go through the LV help and follow the steps.

When you are creating the setup file that time you need to include this. Later install the setup file in other computer. Next time you can run your exe file directly

When you create setup file i.e. installer file. Then you need to include the run time engine there not in exe file.

first create the exe file later create the installer file which will include the exe file. When you install the installer in other PC then exe file will be automatically copied.

Next time when you want to run the other exe file created in labview then you just need to copy the exe file becasue run time engine is already there.

Let me know if you need any other help

1. .exe file: This file is used to run the PC UI file, when the setup file is already installed.

 To create these files follow the instruction shown below.

• Right click on the builds specification.
• Click on the New then Application (EXE).

2. Installer file: This file is setup file which can be installed on other PC to run the PC UI setup file.
