How to build and executable which will include Advantech DAQ vi's. Have Advantech USB 4750

[QLab]

I'm using Advantech USB 4750 hardware and Advantech DAQ VIs. It is working perfectly on the developing machine. Now i'm trying to create an executable. cant get the executable to talk to the DAQ. I already installed the USB 4750 driver and runtime engine in the machine I will be running my executable. How do I incorporate the Advantech DAQ VIs to my executable. They are showing as dependancies on the Project exlporer. Need some help on this.

Can you post the project so I can take a look at the build specifications. Thanks

Hi, No i havent solved the problem yet. I'm just running it from the development machine. If i findout i will let you know.

Perhaps these vis hook into a dll that isn't being packaged?

Thank you.

Please let me know If you find a solution.

I will also install the dev environment, for now.

You can try including the DLLs from the driver in the Data folder that is created when you make the executable. Alternatively you can create an installer and specify the location of the driver you would like to use in the source code area. That way when the driver is called it will have a known path. Here is a document that may help in building an installer with other installers: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/add_installers_to_build/

I'm having the same issues. The strange thing is, the executable will not work on the development computer either. The VI will run fine. But if I start the executable, then start the VI, the VI shows an error but the executable runs. I really need this executable to be able to be run from a computer without LabView. Any suggestions? Tried to include the project below.

Thanks

I have the same problem. When I install DAQnavi it installs DAQnavi Runtime which I think is the problem! 

Then it works
