Is it possible to run a Labview executable on a Windows 8 Phone?

If I create an executable from Labview,will it be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?

No.

No, as Mike already said.

The reason being that a LabVIEW executable contains binary code that is compiled for the x86 CPU architecture and accesses the Win32 API. Windows Phone typically runs on ARM or RISC CPUs and did only provide a very limited Win32 subset in the past. With the new Windows RT technology it actually moved even further away from Win32 compatibility as it's entire architecture is based on the .Net technology.

So even if you happen to get an Intel Atom based Windows Phone device which would be x86 compatible it couldn't work, since a LabVIEW executable is a Win32 portable executable format not a .Net bytecode image.

I like this post, very succinct.
