.exe file does not work on another computer

[Thanya]

Hi all,

Recently i have ceated LabVIEW application from .vi to .exe file.

I tried to open this application on my computer with LabVIEW installed, it's working perfectly fine, but when i copied this file to another computer, which does not have LabVIEW installed, it didn't work properly.

By work properly, i mean the application can be opened but the data monitoring part is always showing zero, which is not true, seems like this application does not connect to the sensors at all. 

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Thanya

Hello,

first :

you can't just copy the .exe file on another computer if labview isn't installed, you must use an installer that include your .exe

 Moreover :

Do you have some drivers that are not installed on the other computer ? 

your sensors have the same COMPORTS as your computer ? 

If you launch a VI with property nodes, you should include them in dependancies : beware of the loading path in the code, it changes when you use an .exe

Did you install the necessary drivers on the other computer?  What are you monitoring?

[Thanya]

I'm not quite sure which are neccesary drivers but i have already installed LabVIEW run time 2012

but still face the same problem

I am monitoring data from NI OPC server.

hi Tanya, Any specific error you getting ?

[Thanya]

there is no error, I can open the application normally but the problem is it not connect to my sensors from the platform

[Ranjeet_Singh]

Add image little bit bigger so that we dont have to use microscop 

then this might be issue of any driver

[Thanya]

hope microscope isn't neccessary now

there are some ways to debug, add error indicators to your HMI, values/boolean indicators in some place of your code to see where it pass and where it doesn't.

Moreover the runtime labview may not be enough if you are using visa etc ... the best is to create an installer from your project with your exe (in labview 2013 it adds automatically the needed installer such as visa etc ...)

are you using comports etc ?

If you wrote the software, you should know exactly what drivers you are using - DAQmx, NI-VISA, etc.
