Aristos Queue Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes, but you have to have the Professional Edition of LabVIEW. If you have it, look in the online help for Application Builder. Quote Link to comment
jdunham Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 You need the Application Builder, which costs about $1000 extra or the "Professional Development" version which has the App Builder bundled in. If you search on "labview application build" in the manual, you should find instructions how to do the actual build. Quote Link to comment

Out of curiosity, did you try to search LabVIEW's menus or help and could not find your answer or are you asking before having done this? Quote Link to comment

335x Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 ok... i've just get LAbVIEW 8.2 complete version.... [ Hago la aclaración, no es muy original que digamos... es mas, es 100% pirata, pero lo hice con finalidad de poder convertir el .vi en .exe] ... but still...i have troubles building a .exe i guess my real question is... can i make an .exe that allows me run the file with out the need of having LabView? i run the .exe in another computer and shows an error because there's no LabVIEW in that PC. Anyway, if you know another way of doing this here's the .Vi file... [ojo.. esta en epañol..] it's made with the LV 8.2b23 Evaluation Mode.. Quote Link to comment

jdunham Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 If you made an EXE, it needs the LabVIEW run-time engine to run on another computer. You can bundle it with the installer during the build process, or else leave it out and download it from the NI website when you run each installation. Even microsoft languages need a run-time, but they are usually bundled into Windows itself. Quote Link to comment
335x Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 i know i might be a pain in the... well you know... anyway, i was wondering, if i can reinitialize all the input Values in my .Vi using property nodes.... because that way would be easier than just close the .Exe an execute it again... anyway, the question might be which proprety do i have to use? is there any manual ?? by the way.. a .exe = (a dot exe) right?... i actually don't speak in english... anyway... thanks for your patience Quote Link to comment

And yes, a .exe = (a dot exe) a.k.a. a Win32 binary executable. Quote Link to comment

This is why the producer/consumer design pattern along with a queued state machine in the consumer is recommended for the control of your user interface. You can explicitly allow the user to reinitialize things to a default or desired configuration. You usually don't need to provide this type of functionality for low level subVIs. However it is definitely a good thing to provide at the higher levels of the application such as the user interface. Quote Link to comment
lightworker Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Create a labview project and put your main VI and sub VIs into this. There is an option to build a .exe from within the project environment. It's pretty straightforward this way.
