How to genrate EXE file

[SEMAK]

Hi to all
is it possible .....
I am working on a project ,and i have made its GUI in Lab-view 8.5
i don't want to install Lab-view on the system where the project about to install
mean there is no need to install the complete lab-view software ..
is it possible to generate the such type of "exe" file that can be run with out lab-view on that
system ?? like Turbo C Exe file,, OR which part of lab-view i will have to install on the system
by which i can run the application properly.

i had generated exe file of that project
from application builder (project explorer--> build specification)
but it can not be run without software
can anybody tell me how i can do this ??

waiting for yours replies

Two possibilities: 

• Build an installer of your application and include the LabVIEW runtime engine, then install that.
• Download and install the free LabVIEW runtime engine on the target computer. Now the program will run.

The direct answer is no - you need a Run Time Engine, and altenbach indicated what you can do. It's actually a slight misconception that if you build an executable from C then you don't need anything on the target computer. In reality you do - it's just that the OS already has the necessary runtime stuff already installed - for the most part. The need for runtime support is no different than building an executable in any other programming language like Java, Matlab, or .NET.

A step by step guide, how to build an .exe

You also need the Professional Version of LabVIEW to build exe's. (if memory serves)

Yes, LabVIEW professional or the application builder add-on.

Since he said that he built an exe already, we can assume that the OP has the application builder. 😉
