The VDM Run-Time versions 2019 SP1 and later are for download from
NI's website or through NI Package Manager. There is not a standalone installer available for 2019. Newer versions of the Vision Development Module (VDM) Run-Time are backwards compatible with application built using VDM 2019.
Install the VDM Run-Time 2019 SP1 or later instead.
If you specifically need the 2019 version, you can install it to your computer through one of the following methods:
- Using NI Package Manager:
- Open NI Package Manager from the Start menu and search for Vision Development Module in the search bar.
- Once you select Vision Development Module, you will see the following window. Make sure the 2019 version is selected and click Install.
- Deselect all the boxes in the next screen by selecting the Deselect All field at the bottom of the page. Then select Next.
- Follow the following installation steps to complete the installation. Completing the install by following steps above installs VDM 2019 Run-Time.
- Use LabVIEW Application Builder to create your own installer.
On a development computer with LabVIEW, the Application Builder, and Vision Development Module installed, you can
create a custom installer that includes the VDM Run-Time as an additional installer as shown below. Running this custom installer on a target computer will install VDM Run-Time.
- Through the NI Package Builder
NI Package Builder allows you to build custom packages that will install software through NI Package Manager. You can add the VDM Run-Time installer to your custom package and then distribute that package to target computers.
Additional Information
While these instructions will install the Vision Development Module Run-Time on a target computer, you must still activate the Run-Time license after installation. A valid VDM Run-Time license must be purchased for every target computer running code developed with the Vision Development Module. Once a license for the VDM Run-Time is purchased, upgrades to newer versions of the Run-Time are free.
