I just installed visa-rte on my XP PC.  There is only a documentation link when I try to run the program (start, all programs, national instuments, visa).  I was expecting a .exe.  Is this normal or was there an install problem.  Do I need Labview to get anything out of visa-rte?  I am try to establish communication between a PC and several DC rectifiers.  The rectifier manufacturer pushes VISA-rte and "Power Ten GUI".  The "power ten gui"  displays some canned screens but I dont see how the VISa-rte enters into it.  Please help.

A runtime engine isn't always an executable. Sometimes it's just libraries. Did you also install Measurement and Automation Explorer when installing VISA? That should have created a blue icon on your desktop. 

What is "Power Ten GUI"? Is it a LabVIEW app? If so, it's probably using VISA, which is why it requires the VISA runtime.
