Installation of LabVIEW 8.2 run time engine requires admin rights

[Pjotr]

After a smooth migration from LabVIEW 7.0 to 8.2 I found out that 8.2's run time engine needs (local) admin rights to install, in contrast with 7.0rte.

In my company, with 100+ users of ready-built LV applications this means a huge overhead to deploy. I was forced to return and stick to LV 7.0 until this problem is solved by NI or otherwise.

Please advice.

Hi Pjotr,

we had the same problem. For LV 8.0 we COPY the whole Run time directory to the local hard disk and also copy the LV exe files in the same directory.

For our applications this works. I hope for you too.

Good luck

Thanks Ulrich,

Interesting approach, but I think that NI really needs to solve this proper. LabVIEW has always been associated with fast coding of complex tasks in short iterations. An end-user distribution of stand alone applications is one of the primary requirements for this.
