Aristos Queue 609 Report post Posted June 23 Honestly, I have no idea if that’s something that is even logically possible. Computing data flow from procedural instructions is one of the holy grails of compiler optimization. Sure, there’s short segments that are easy to translate back, but a general app? Maybe, but I have 19 years of LabVIEW R&D experience with the compiler, and I’d be hard pressed to do it by hand, much less derive a general algorithm for automatic decompilation.

hooovahh 675 Report post Posted June 25 Pulling the VIs out of an EXE isn't the hard part. In relatively recent versions of LabVIEW you can pull out VIs from an EXE. I think the last version I did this on was 2015. But the VIs are a binary blob with no block diagram, generally no front panel, but can be called as a subVI in the IDE. And with the forward compatible run-time engine that means any LabVIEW 2017 EXE can have its VIs pulled out and ran in 2017 or newer. I haven't tested this but I think it should work. But as others have said, getting the source code out of an EXE is considered impossible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
