Yes...too many to list. I still wonder how the registry plays into this. From the LV built exe point of view, if all the files are in the correct place it should matter. Unless the RTE invokes certain queries for path entries withing the registry. If that is the case, there is probably no easy way around this problem and things have definetely changed over previous versions. Dan

I just did the following: Installed the RTE Verified that the test exe worked. Copied the entire C:\Program Files\National Instruments Folder to the desktop Uninstalled the RTE Deleted the entire C:\Program Files\National Instruments Folder Restart Cut & pasted National Instruments Folder from the desktop to C:\Program Files\National Instruments Ran exe Received the same errors Copied missing NIINI32.dll on dev. machine and pasted into corresponding RTE path Ran exe and application loaded Selected a FP control and received the following error: THe instruction at "0x303ea3bf referenced memory at 0x00000000". The memory could not be "read" Something isn't making sense and it looks to be with something other than lvrt.dll Dan

Chris, I have actually tried this approach...I duplidcated the entire C:\National Instruments\Shared over to a 2nd PC with no NI software installed and ran a simple LV built exe(While Loop with a Stop Button) and recieved the same error. I have also copied the lvrt.dll and lvanalys.dll into the same directory as simple exe with the same results. It just can't seem to find the Runtime Engine. It is almost as if the only path that it searched for the Runtime is what is registered(ie by running the Runtime Installer)??? This seems to have changed since Jack's document and from what I remember. If anyone has a bare PC with no Runtime Engine and could verify my results it might convince me that I'm not doing soemthing wrong. I have done exactly what Jack described in the past so I am really stumped by this and totally frustrated!!! Dan

All, Does this still work in LV 8.20??? I am trying to deploy an executable to other users(PC's) within my company without needing admin rights. I tried placing both lvanlys.dll and the lvrt.dll in the same directory as the exe as well as using the key DLLPath in the exe's ini, but received the following errors: 1. The dynamic link library NINI32.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\Documents and Settings\dmiller\Desktop\... 2. Unable to locate the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Has this ability changed in the last couple of release??? I contacted NI, but was told they will only support the scenarios where their Application Builder is used to execute the Runtime installer. Any help will be really appreciated since all other options I am looking at require writing much more code. I am somewhat stumped at what to do next. And yes I realize this Runtime issue only happens the first time, but sometimes we can wait more than a week for IT to respond. Kind of makes my code worthless when some has to wait a week to us it.
