Can I Use LabVIEW Application Builder Functions in an Executable?

Issue Details

I receive a runtime error indicating that my executable fails whenever it attempts to invoke functions from the LabVIEW Application Builder palette. This issue consistently occurs each time these functions are called within the built application.

Solution

It is not possible to use functions from the LabVIEW Application Builder palette within a built executable, as executables run using the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, which does not include development features.

Application Builder functionality, such as creating installers or .NET Interop assemblies, depends on components that are only available in the LabVIEW Development System. These components are not deployed with a compiled application, so any calls to these functions will result in errors at runtime.

Additional Information

Built applications are intended to run with only the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, which is freely distributable. Because the LabVIEW Application Builder is a separately licensed add-on, it is functionality is not available in deployed executables, ensuring compliance with LabVIEW licensing.
