Run labview executable without installing

Hi
We need t run a LabVIEW executable without the need to install the runtime engine first.
In fact we use a LabVIEW program to distribute LabVIEW within our company.
We add our own library and a special license request form and make it possible to install a LabVIEW development environment
with only the push of one button.
In LV8.2 however this no longer works. First the runtime environment has to be installed before we can run our LabVIEW application.
Previous LabVIEW versions worked OK.
Are we missing an option in the installer somewhere or can somebody show the way to make this work again otherwise we have to keep 8.01 until infinity....
greetings from the Netherlands

Hi Albert,
Long time no see... Perhaps at the user group meting okt. 5?
We (Andre) did some experiments with this just last week. He copied everything from the normal installation directory (program files) runtime directory to a new directory on a clean PC. In the same directory he put an executable, and it did run properly (although I think he also copied the models directory to get proper control images).
Only thing is that at the startup of the exe, we get a dialog "Installing...". Still working on that. This might even work from a CD...
He made a big effort to remove all previous LabVIEW stuff, but to be honest, we didn't try it on a completelly "clean" system.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Run a LabView 2012 executable without installing RTE.

I have a thumbdrive with a LabView executable that is ready to run. I want to be able to run this executable on different PC's without having to install the Run Time Engine on each machine. What dll do I need to have in the same directories as the executable so I can run the executable without actually installing the Run Time Engine. Thanks in advance.
Sebastian

Like the others said, there's no official way of doing this.
That said, the answer to your actual question is "lvrt.dll" and some of the others in the same folder (I don't remember offhand which folder it was. Look for it yourself). Note that there are some caveats:
The last time I did something like this was around LV 7.0. I didn't check in later versions, but I seem to recall someone who usually knows what he's talking about saying that it doesn't work at some point after 8.0.
Even if it does still work, this will only support things which are in those DLLs and don't have any other dependencies. That means things like VISA, DAQmx, other drivers and possibly even some of the display elements which are based on MESA for rendering or on other external resources.
It obviously won't be supported in any way.

Run swing applet without installed plug-in

Is any possible way to run swing applet without installed java plug-in? Does exist way how to load swing classes from server?

Is any possible way to run swing applet without
installed java plug-in? Does exist way how to load
swing classes from server?It is impossible to run a swing applet without the plug-in.
There may be a solution : include the swing library in your applet,
so you don't need the plugin anymore (personnaly i prefer having
the plugin downloaded once and the use it as needed).
For the load from a server you will need to be more specific, but
don't forget : the applet don't run on the server, so it won't request
Swing classes from the server.

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.

Running application(.jar) without installing sdk

I have developed a javafx desktop application for my college students and gave them the application packaged into a jar file....Now the problem is that they want to run the application without installing the entire sdk.....Is there any way to run it without installing the entire sdk.....
Hope Philho gives a useful answer as he does to all my other questions......

Alas, I don't have all the answers... And I must leave some work to do to other people! ;-)
AFAIK, there are only two solutions: install the SDK (not a big problem, is it?), or the official way: use a JNLP file that will run the application while automatically downloading the runtime.

Running a labview installer without installing drivers

Ouch. I have to install multiple LabView programs onto the same machine and they were all compiled with different versions. I don't have the luxury of rebuilding them. When I try installing some of them, the program won't let me install because newer drivers are already installed on the machine. Is there a way of running an installer to install the program without installing the drivers?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The folder where the installer was placed into should have a bunch of folder in the "bin" folder all starting with "p". These contain the various installers that are run. The actual installer for your executable should be in there somewhere, so you could try running it directly.

Run exe file without installing labview

i created my labview into exe file. I need to run this exe file on another computer which have no labview application. There's anerror when i try to run it.What do i have to do without installing labview application into another computer?
Solved!

As Freelance_LV already asks, there are possibly additional components you require for your EXE to run.
The easiest thing to point out is required hardware devices and their drivers. If that is available (or not used), the EXE should run with the correct LV RTE (runtime engine). You can think of the LV RTE as of the .NET framework.
Please note that most drivers and runtime engines from National Instruments are free of charge for deployment. But there are some runtime engines which are liable to costs.

Running Labview-teststeps without having Labview installed

Hello,
is it possible to create a Teststand-testplan with Labview-teststeps and to run it _without_ having Labview installed?
Do i always need a Developer-Labview or is a Labview-Runutime enough to run the Tesplan?
Thx

Hi,
If you are using TestStand 3.x, then you can setup the LabVIEW adapter to use the LabVIEW RTE or a LabVIEW ActiveX Runtime Server. If you are using TestStand 2.0.x then you can only use the Runtime Server.
The User Manual, will help you to setup the LabVIEW adapter.
Off course you will still need the correct LabVIEW RTE version installed on your Target machine to match the version of your VI's..

Run LabVIEW executable when user logs off

I have a customer request to do this.
My customer has a computer in their plant that I wrote a LabVIEW applicaiton to monitor part of their process. This computer performs other functions in addition to my program. Their IT department has changed their policy that mandates that anybody using this computer has to log in under their own user name and password. Prevoulsy it was just a group user name and password. What this means for me is everytime a new user needs to use the PC they have to log off and log back on. This stops my program.
Is there a way to have a LabVIEW executable keep running when different users log off and log on?
Thanks
Dan

Sounds like you need a service. It may be a complete architecture change, but you could have an executable running as a service and a user interface executable connecting to it (e.g. via TCP/IP). The service itself can't have a UI.
Without using a service there's no way an application can continue running when a user logs off (afaik).
A service is started even if no user logs on.
There's tools like srvany or similar that allow to run an executable as a service.

Can I run a soft without install sql server?

I just wrote a winform C# program and use SQL server 2012 for data.
Can I run this program on other machine without install sql server ?
If I can't. Are there other program simpler than sql server help me run it ?
THANK ALL !

Agree with Nicolas. You need to modify connection string to point to proper server name. This might help in getting proper name of instance.

Can I call .m files from a LabVIEW executable without the full development version of matlab installed?

I have an executable that I am trying to build (and distribute). Right now, it has Matlab script nodes that call some matlab .m scripts that someone else wrote. The target PC will not have the full development version of Matlab installed. Would that work? I have tried to compile the .m scripts into a DLL, but I can't import that to LabVIEW because of the special Matlab types (*mxArrays). I have also tried to write a wrapper around that DLL, but with no success. So now I'm wondering if I can either call the Matlab .m scripts directly from a Matlab Script node OR if I can call my Matlab DLL from within a script node. OR any other idea someone might have...
Thanks a lot!
-Matt Bradley
************ kudos always appreciated, but only when deserved **************************

Simon,
I looked at MathScript and am considering using it, but one thing that is not clear to me is if I will be able to use my .m files like I can with Matlab. I call the same Matlab script repeatedly and it keeps track of some information in global variables (for example, the number of consecutive detections). Can I do that entirely within mathscript or would I have to reload all of the info each time -- if I had to do that, it would mean substantial changes to the .m files ... and that's not an option.

Deploy simple Labview applications without installing the Labview runtime?

[Labview 8.21 - Windows XP]
Hello and a happy new year to all !
I have coded very simple Labview applications that basically read text files (exported from Ms Excel), make some string operations, array sorting and at the end write another text file that is then imported in Ms Access. Now I would like other people from the School parents association to use this application on their own PC but ideally without having to install the Labview run-time; for various reasons one of them being that they are not administrator of their PC, another reason being that I feel bad to ask them to install 100Mb of programs on their PC to execute my <1Mb applications. All that I can assume is that they have Excel and Access installed on their PC.
I have read some postings on the Forum and in the Knowledge base from which I understand that the only way to use my application without the Labview runtime is to build a shared library that maybe I could then link via a VBA code from inside Excel or Access. But I cannot find any usable example on how to do that practically. And maybe it is not possible.
What is the easiest way to run such very simple Labview compiled applications on a PC that does not have Labview installed? Is Labview not at all built for such use?
Thanks a lot for your help and ideas.
Christophe

You will need to have the runtime installed. There is a lot of other languages that also have the need for there own runtime, but they are commonly installed with the OS, so you don't realize it. Just building a dll won't solve this.
There might be a hack possible, though. People have managed to strip down the required installation and been able to deploy the required parts of the runtime only. If you want to go this way, search on LAVA. But I'm not sure if it works with LV 8.20, and you will need to invest some time to figure out the minimum requirements. But be aware that it is a hack, so it's on your own risk.

Run labview program without necessity of labview license . is it possible?

Hi
I wonder is it possible to have a labview program that can be run without of necessity for labview license?
now we can produce executable labview programs but they need labview licences.
Best regards
s Farashi
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That does not make any sense. You have a license for the development system. You can create an exe and distribute as many copies as you want without further licenses. The only thing you have to distribute with the exe is the runtime engine. Where did you get the idea you needed a license for each exe?

Run MSOnline Module without installing Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant

Hi guys,
I would to check if it is possible to run Azure Active Directory Powershell (MSOnline) without installation of
Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant
Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version)
I'm coming from the point of application deployment where the objective is to reduce additional installation to the server and to package the DLL, PSD1 (if required) of the Azure AD Module and run it like a portable app.
Did anyone manage to do that?
i found the modules installed in one of my testing machine C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\MSOnline and i tried to run the module in a new server without any installation of those mentioned above, it gives Type Initialization error. I
believe it is caused by lacking of Microsoft Online Service Sign-In Assistant.
Where are the dlls stored for MS Online Sign-In Assistant so that i can try to copy to the new server and test?
Thanks in advance!
Cheng

Hello,
Thank you for your post. We are checking on the query and would get back to you soon on the same.
I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your time and patience in this matter.
