Making exe without installer

I bought Application Builder and have LabView 8 Full Development System and am trying to make EXE's from my VI's. My question is can I make an .exe that runs without Labview on a machine and without installing it into the registry? Where I work I don't have Admin rights on the computers and want to build .exe's to run standalone. I know that you can make .exe's that run with LabView on the machine and you can make an "installer," but that changes the registry and installs it into the Progam Files folder. I just want a standalone .exe, is it possible with Labview 8?

With any .exe you build with the Application Builder you need the run-time engine on the target machine, regardless of LabVIEW version.
In addition, you need the right version of the runtime engine. (You can install as many versions of the runtime engine as you need)
Actually, there were some workarounds in the past that allowed running a LabVIEW executable without installing the runtime engine. I am not sure if these things still work. See for example the following old post: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=55834#M55834

Thank you
Brick and mortar stores will not carry the disc, you can get it online on Apple's online store. If you are in the USA the link is:

How to rebuild OS, without installation disk(s)?

I recently purchased a Mac Pro. It did not come with a restore installation disk. If I needed to rebuild my OS, how do I do it without installation disks?

Restart with the Option key held down and use the preloaded recovery partition. If that becomes unavailable, the computer will download a new one from Apple's servers.

I like it ! NI is the best, if you don´t want to work with it.
Das ist nicht gerade eine qualifizierte Aussage.
Dennoch könnten Sie die Advanced File I/O Funktionen nutzen um sich schnell ein VI zusammenzubauen welches genau diesen Ordner innerhalb eines Stammverzeichnisses , so wie Sie es ja anscheinend angelegt haben, in den gewünschten Namen ändert.

i hv bought d Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac. how to intall it without installation CD? jus hv activation key...

From what you say, you have probably opened Parallels Desktop. If you were not asked for your activation key, you will find a button called "Parallels Desktop" at the top left part of the screen, so press it, and you will find an option named "Activate" or something similar. Select it, and if Parallels Desktop is not activated, type the activation key. That's all.
Respecting to the window you are seeing now, you have to choose one option to create a virtual machine. For example, if you have got the operating system you want to install in a DVD (for example, Windows), choose DVD. If you have got the operating system installer in an ISO file, choose Image File. You can find more help in the Parallels website.

How to restart igswd.exe without restarting Centeral instance ??

Hi experts,
I setup MSCS configration based on NW04s ABAP.
I've found igswd.exe is SPOF, once it's down, it seems impossible to restart without restarting CI.
If anybody knows how to restart igswd.exe without restarting CI, Please instruct me.
I tried command as follow, but it seems to get freeze...
K:\usr\sap\BIC\DVEBMGS00\exe\igswd.EXE -m
ode=profile pf=
clstsap\sapmnt\BIC\SYS\profile\BIC_DVEBMGS00_txcls1
I am afraid I am not an expertise regarding IGS. Are there any solution to avoid unavailable of IGS using normal two node MSCS ??
Regards
MASAKI

I solved this problem.
the solution is just execute command

Pre Build EXE and Installer Set Version

So this topic comes up relatively often so I thought I'd make a new thread showing an example of how to make it work. The problem is developers want a way to set the version of builds programmatically. Luckily NI added some VIs for doing this. Too bad you can't invoke them from the Pre-Build action of a build, because that information is read before the pre-build. Here is an idea exchange discussing it.
But I figured I could come with some kind of work around and I have two, and neither is perfect. Attached is a simple project. It contains a VI that runs reading the EXE version that it is running from once it is in an EXE. The project has three build specifications, an EXE, and two installers. The developer can set the Major, Minor, and Fix of the EXE, but the build version is set programmatically in the Pre-Build action. The version of the installers will also be set to the version of the EXE.
Attempt to build the EXE and a dialog will appear asking to enter the build version that should be used. This could be determined some other way but this was the easiest for the demo. If the EXE, and the Installers are already the correct version, where the build is the same as the one specified, and the installers are the same version as the EXE, then the build goes on like normal. But if the build you enter is not the same as the current, it will abort the current build, change the versions, and then tell the operator to attempt to build again. This time no prompt is seen and the build will work like normal with the version you set earlier.
The downside to this method is you have to tell the developer to build again, I figured I could do that programmatically so I tried. There is a constant on the BD of Prebuild Action VI.vi, and if it is set to True it will try to invoke a new build on its own. The problem with this method is the build the user invoked is aborted and the user sees the error. But the second build might have worked fine, but there isn't any feedback.
In any case this is a sorta working way of setting EXE and Installer build versions from a pre-build VI.

I took your idea and "simplified" it a little
Some may want the simplified version I understand. But for me I wanted a more robust VI, one that would work if a project had multiple build specifications of applications, or multiple installers. Some developers may have two applications one that is normal, and another with debugging turned on and I wanted the versioning to work consistently there by grabbing the newest version and using it. And in all my cases, if there is an installer it should be the same version as the EXE.
As for the getting around the error I think if I had enought time I could dig into the NI VIs to get rid of the error and show the progress of the new build. The whole build process is a bunch of VIs, that augment the right click menus in the project so the source is there it is just taking time to understand it.

Changing or getting administrator password without installer CD

Hello,
I just dowload Os X Maverick to my macbook pro. But for installation it is asking administrator password that I never had or know. I checked the support link, and check my computer case, but there were no CD. I asked to retail seller to dowload the computer and probably they never give me back.
Does anyone know how can I change it without the CD.
Thanks,

Can you build a new version of an exe without having to rebuild its installer afterwards?

I'm currently testing a LabVIEW-built exe on a PC without LabVIEW installed. Each time I go back to the development PC to fix a bug / change something, and then rebuild the executable, it seems I also have to rebuild its installer which takes a significant amount of time.
Is there a way to rebuild an executable without having to rebuild its installer? Or a way to tell the installer it doesn't need to be completely rebuilt, but rather just needs to look at the new executable?
After writing this out, I've realised there probably isn't a way to do it, but it's worth a shot.
Christian.

I understand what Taki is saying, but I don't see the need to "update" the installer after making changes to an .exe; especially if it's going to a PC that already has the RTE installed. Later, if I have to do a build, it will incorporate the current changes to the .exe.
In my opinion, it's just easier to create installers.
Yes, in your circumstance it would be. For me, I only have to worry about internal customers, so I am the only one that does the install; therefore, I don't have to worry so much about the details of the installation.

Using ODBC without running odbc_install.exe (no installation)

Hi,
Is it possible to have a VB.NET aplication using Oracle ODBC driver without running/installing odbc_install.exe?
I want to deploy my application without having to run anything on the client so I guessed that instant client would help but I can't make it work.
Thanks in advance.

In order to use the Oracle ODBC driver or the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, the Oracle client needs to be installed. You can invoke the Oracle Universal Installer from InstallShield (optionally with a response file), but I'm not aware of a more 'integrated' solution.
If the Oracle client is too large a fottprint, there are third parties (i.e. DataDirect) that would be more than happy to sell you a wire-protocol ODBC driver that can run without the Oracle client.

EXEs without silent installation switches.

Hi,
In Config Manager 2012 R2, is there a way to install EXEs silently on workstations when the EXE itself dose not have a silent installation switch such as /silent or /q apart form converting it to MSI,??

My first step in this process is to install the application sliently via command line. If this does not work you will not successfully deploy the app with ConfigMgr. ConfigMgr is just the delivery mechanism.

New 7.6 iTunes64Setup.exe "The installer encountered errors before iTunes..

I am using Vista 64 bit. Used 64 bit IE to download the proper file
iTunes64Setup.exe
from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
But I get this error when I try to install:
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
I tried installing when logged in as an administrator, and again as a a user, again same results. I tried uninstalling 32 bit iTunes 7.5 and rebooting, but the issue still remains. I manually wiped away the
c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory (had only one file in there after uninstall), same problem.
FYI, this is just my secondary machine, so I'm not worried about loosing anything. So registry cleaning likely. But first, I'll try installing on a pristine 64 bit Vista virtual machine, just to see if the installer binary itself runs correctly on a machine without a history of iTunes 32 bit.
Is this a known issue with 7.6 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
There are many search hits for similar errors under 7.5 32 bit, but I seem to be alone with this error with 64 bit installer, for now...

FYI, I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe again (not from cache), despite same exact filesize on my hard drive, this time, no install error, problem solved. So perhaps Apple uses no built-in CRC error detection, but at least it works now. I'm so glad 64 bit Vista is finally properly supported without errors about CD burning when you start it (I never bothered with the gear drivers workaround).
I did notice it still installs in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory despite being a 64 bit app, not sure if that matters, and not sure if it's a side effect of having 32 bit version in that directory previously.
