Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable

[bmann2000]

I have successfully used the Shared Variable to share a boolean value between two .exe LabVIEW 2018 applications.

I then deployed the two executables to several target PCs, the first few worked okay, but on one of the PCs, the variable is not shared.

On the problem PC, I opened the Project from source and got warnings that DAQmx VIs were missing.  I then used Package Manger to install the required components, as per this solution https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000001DbLBSA0&l=en-GB

I appreciate that the components of the development system are independent of the run-time engine, but I though this is maybe a clue.

The shared variable is still not working.

What run-time component is missing, that is required to make the shared variable work?

It could be a firewall issue...

I'd heavily recommend building an installer for the exe's. It'll automagically include all needed runtime components (if you check the box to do so).
