Hi,

I assume - from seeing your profile settings - that you have LabVIEW 8.6.

First, to be able to build exe you need to have the FDS (Full Development System) or PDS (Professional Development System) version of LabVIEW, the base LabVIEW can't build exes.

Then if you have FDS or PDS, you must create a LabVIEW project and put your VIs in it to be able to build an exe (that was one of the big changes from LabVIEW 7 to LabVIEW 8).

In the project windows, right clic on "Build Specifications" and select "New.. > Application (EXE)"

Hope this helps

To clarify, in order to build applications (i.e. EXEs), you need the LabVIEW Professional Development System or LabVEW Base/Full with Application Builder. For LabVIEW Base/Full, Application Builder is an additional component that is purchased separately - http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/10731
