Hi Shrek,

I have attached Project file for simple communication between two EXE using shared Variable. Check exe build procedure for you reference. While making exe you have to include shared variable library to deploy.

Check and let me know

This is in Labview version 2010

hi

i have attested a VI with this in which you can share variables. jus create a spreadsheet file and give that path in the front panel. Do revert for clarifications.

You have two major use cases for doing this.

1. The executables are running in the same process on the same run-time engine.  You can do this by launching them correctly.  See this post for details.  The advantage of this is that it allows any of the normal interprocess communication methods to work (e.g. queues, notifiers, functional globals, etc.).  I would recommend this.
2. The executables are running in separate processes on different run-time engines.  Communication will involve some sort of network protocol.  This could be networked shared variables, TCP, UDP, network streams, or, for old-timers, datasockets.  You will need a valid network stack for any of these to work right (initialized by default on modern operating systems).
