Run compiled application (LV 8.6) without run-time engine

Hi,
I just recently wrote a small 200KB program that performs simple calculations that I'd like to use on several different computers. The application works perfectly, but the problem is that I really don't want to go through the download/install/reboot process of installing the LabVIEW Run-time 8.6 software on every single computer (especially since downloading a 100MB file to run a 200KB program seems counter-intuitive). Is there a way to get the application to run without the engine? Previous searches resulted in old posts of people simply copying the engine files from the shared folder into the application directory, but that did not work when I tried it. Is this no longer possible on LV 8.6? I'll have no choice but to rewrite the application in a different programming language if LabVIEW isn't capable of running standalone compiled applications.
Thanks,
Anthony

I made the test with LV 8.6 on Windows.
I used a VI which does not need any drivers neither serial nor any other hardware execpt the graphics card.
I made an application from this VI on my normal development machine and checked that it will start and work as expected.
I setup a NI free partition with Win XP Prof. SP2. I have some non NI programs installed like a virus scanner, defragmentation tool, Adobe Reader, a drive imageing tool and WLAN drivers. The .NET Framework 2.0 is installed.
I copied the application and all files under National Instruments\shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\8.6 to the machine in a temporary folder.
I booted the machine into this partition. The application will start and work as expected. You do not need to make a complete runtime installation until you do not need any drivers.
The above mentioned folder has a size of about 64 MByte. Dependent on the application and desired languages you can remove parts of it.
Dennis,
during the various LV 8.x versions it was possible to do it as described above exepct one version, 8.2 I think, which needed an ini-File in the Windows folder.

How can I run a application on a machine without JDK installed?

Hi all,
I'm new to java,I want to know if there's a way to run a application on a machine without JDK installed, I noticed that some server application such as Domino have CORBA applications running in background,how can I set up such environment without JDK installed?
Thanks.

I believe there are two basic ways you could go about this.
1) Install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on the machine in question.
2) Use JSP to make a server side app that interacts via browser on the local machine.

Simple way for run an application on a pc without OS (window,linux,...)?

i need a simple pdf for a way for run an application on a pc without OS (window,linux,...).

Take a look here, and also note the related links i the bottom http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2733
Then you are using Labview RT on a PC, a real time OS will be installed in the process. The OS is the PharLap, Real-Time OS . So you will indeed be using a OS
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Trying to run the SOA/BPM managed server withOUT running the Admin server

(This is for demo/development purposes... Using 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 with 4gb)
Because of memory constrains I am trying to run the BPM/workspaces application without needing the Admin to be running.
When they both run, I can use the credentials I create with the Admin server but the response time is prohibitive and all my memory is used...
It seems to run much faster when only the bpm managed server is running but then I cannot login ...
So my question is simply: Whats the easiest way to set it up so I can use credentials elsewhere without requiring the admin server to be running?
( I could connect to an OID instance I have outside this server or the seeded demo they refer to in other posts ... but do these also require the admin server to be running???)

I don't know if what you want is possible. Only did a suggestion that works fine for me. I'm running SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11.1.1.5 on WLS 10.3.5
Configure a new WLS domain and see if the BPM Dev template is available in your version.
I've tuned my startup script (setSOADomainEnv.cmd) as follows:
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS%
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m
if "%JAVA_VENDOR%" == "Oracle" goto OracleJVM
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=%DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=%PORT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Use visualvm that's available from your jdk/bin directory to monitor your jvm and optimize it accordingly

I have programmed a visual basic application using activex controls. WHen I run this application through internet, it appears a message box indicating that the measurement studio is a demo, but I have the correct license. What can I do?

I run the application in a computer without measurement studio because my application is stored in a web server and I access to the application downloading it from a web page of that server.

Have you included the lpk file with your control? I've attached the tool you'll need and here is a nice link that goes thru it step by step.
Hope this helps

How can we launch the labview screen beyond other screens while running two applications on a same time

Hi all,
I need to run two applications in my system at same time. one of the application is labview. it is running in backside. the dialog boxes which i created in labveiew need to display in fron of all applications.... what should i do to do that.....any suggestions...
thanks in advance
Regards,
Ragu

The easiest thing to do (but can be bad) is to make the LabVIEW window modal. This will make it the front most window at all times, until the program stops executing. As you can imagine if you don't have a way to close the window then you will be forced to kill LabVIEW through the taskmanager.
To make window modal go to VI Properties (by right clicking the VI's icon) go to Window Appearance, click Customize, then under Window Behavior select Modal.
The other more complicated solution is to use Dll calls to bring the window to the front.

Unable to locate labview run time engine (lab view 8.5)

Hello I have a problem whit the labview 8.5 installer. I have created I project with included a .vi file (a simple panel wich control a serial port, with parameters (baud rate, stop bits, ...)), then I have created an application for this file (.exe) and then the installer (I have included the labview run time engine 8.5). When I run the setup.exe I have the following error message:
Unable to locate labview run time engine, the application require a labview run time engine 8.5 or compatible...
What I'm missing??
Thanks
Maurizio

are there one other reasons why it would not work. I have asimilar problem.
I intsalled version 8 of run time engine and acrtivated software. Now I am trying to run compiled application provided to me by third party.
When I click on application it says
Unable to locate LV run time engine
Test server requires a version 6.0 or compatible LV engine.
How do I know if the engine I installed and activated is running and is it supposed to be able to execute a program which is expectin rev 6 of the rund engine?

Does Vision Development Module obviate the need for the Vision Run Time Engine?

I have several computers with the full version of Labview (8.0.1 and\or 8.2) as well as the most recent version of the Vision Development Module (VDM 8.2.1), all fully registered and activated. In addition, I have one computer we have designated the "build" computer which has the professional version of LV 8.2 as well as LV 8.0.1 Full version w/ Application Builder (we have delayed migrating certain applications to 8.2 for various reasons). Instead of distributing applications as source distributions to these computers (uncompiled VIs), we would like to use our build computer to compile applications that make use of the Vision image processing VIs. I know that all of these computers have the appropriate LV run time engines installed, but I was wondering if I need to install (and thus purchase) the Vision Run Time Engine for each of these computers. I know that when you install VDM, you also get a copy of the vision RTE (in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision\Run-Time Engine). Does this mean the engine is already installed and ready to run compiled applications? Or do we need to pay for the engine on each computer?

The Development module includes the RTE for that machine.
For the other machines, you will need to purchase the Vision RTE and install and activate for each machine. See the KB article below for more details.

Help! Run AIR Applications without Adobe AIR.

Hello, I wanted to ask that is there any way to run AIR applications without having Adobe AIR in the computer. It's really annoying when you have to give someone your application to use and then the person needs Adobe AIR to run it. Any suggestions?

Where to start...
AIR is a lot like Java in the sense that it requires a run-time engine to be installed. This engine has all "things" required to for the application to run. In a similar way, applications such as 3DMax or Word require that the operating system be present for them to run. Those programs are written using API calls that are present within the target operating system. Likewise, AIR and Java apps are written using API calls that are present within their run-time. To bring it full circle, AIR is an application written in C, that uses APIs for the target operating system. So, when you perform certain functions within AIR, it then knows how to execute needed operating system functions (as needed). AIR also provides a lot of higher level functionality and management that make your life as a programmer a lot simpler.
Looking at iOS or Android, we have the same thing happening. Some developers are writing apps using Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) that are using APIs specific to those operating systems. This is the same as writing your app in C like 3DMax.

How to run java application without having java environment in a machine

can i run java application without having java environment(JVM) in a machine.I mean i dont have installed j2se or jdk in my machine.And i have an j2ee application running on another host which is built in swings.I want to access that application in my machine
can any one help regarding my problem

If you only need to access the program from one machine and you are running a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux, Solaris), you can use the remote display capabilities of X11. In this case you have to choose the host where the app will be displayed when you start it:
$ DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
$ java ...
If you want to be able to display it on both machines at the same time, or if you are using windows, then try something like VNC (http;//www.realvnc.com). Or if you are running windows and your version supports it, you can use windows remote desktop.

Run External application without Exiting main application

Hi,
I am trying to implement a function that executes the external program from within my java application. I am using windows xp. I had googled for this and found some code but so far I am able to run the application in a condition if my main application exits. Instead I want to run the application without exiting my main application. How can I do that:
Code I am using is:
========================
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("external program");
System.exit(0);
catch (Exception err){
err.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
=========================
my problem is I cannot run the external program without the line "System.exit(0)". If I remove that line, the external program only starts after I exit my main java application. Is there a way to run the external application without leaving the main application?
By the way I am using the latest version of JDK 6 update 2 and Netbeans 5.5.1
Thanks

I tried and I tried and I couldn't make the same problem occur unless I specfically had a long task execute BEFORE calling the runtime command. See the code below:
I tried a bunch of things, including having a GUI run before the Runtime call, after the runtime call. Neither affected the movie from being played.
I tried with different versions of the runtime command, none of it made a problem.
I tried running the application with a long task that would keep the main thread busy for a while AFTER I launched mplayer - no problem.
The only thing that made the app work the way you describe was when I built the long task that keeps the main thread active for a while BEFORE I launched mplayer (which is the state of the code as I pasted it below).
So my guess is that you have a single threaded application and you add the call to mplayer at the very end of your program's execution - thus it doesn't get called until the last thing. My suggestions:
1) Move the call to the Start of your code, not the end
2) Move your other work to a new thread so that it can be kicked off without holding the main thread in check.

}I will restate myself:
"I was not able to repeat the problem, except as described, as long as I took the hints mentioned in the article I posted into account and actually put them into action."
Of course, as soon as I ignored those hints, I was able to reproduce the error described above quite easily in all the different tests I made... But I guess the OP implemented those fixes, right? He did say he read the article...

Compiling java code from a running java application

Running java application without installing JRE

We try to run Java application without installing JRE, by copying java.exe (and other JRE files) together with our jar file. This does not work.
Can it be solved?

Can you elaborate on the steps to create a java
application without installing JRE.
Regards,
padmaPadma,
The solution is to deploy my JAR together with JRE files, without running standard JRE installation. This makes possible to simply ensure that my JAR will run with THIS SPECIFIC JRE. This is important from QA point of view. Also, installation of my application does not change configuration of JVMs on the computer.
The solved problem:
Standard JRE installation may change the default JRE for many Java applets and application on computer. Changing version JRE may lead to some programs misbehaviour (JRE backward compatibility does not always work and different Java versions not always live together well). Thus, some IT departments are very nervous about JRE version change.
Hope, this explains my problem and the solution.
