.exe to vi

I'm running Labview 8.6.  Our electronics tech recently left, he created several .exe stand-alone programs to run on different platforms.  I need to go see the back panel and understand how it works as well as be able to edit it.  I realize the .exe file can't do that, how do I track down the VI that the .exe was originally created in so I can see the structure and edit as necessary?  Or can I open the .exe file in application builder and manipulate it.  I have searched labview and the forums and haven't been able to find an answer related to this yet.  Thanks.

It's not permitted for security reasons.

You should try to find the source vi's or re-implement the functionality.

Perhaps this would be helpful.

Place the .llb in the same folder as the .exe.

Open the .llb and run App_Probe.vi

You can see the names of the source .VI and .Ctl files, and access their properties.

Basically you need to find the source code and open up the project file, there are the definitions or what VI's were used the how it's compiled.

A .exe always removes the block diagram so you cant check the back panel even if you could access vi's inside an .exe.
