Requirements for Computer Running an EXE Using NI-IMAQ for USB Functions

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have a working VI that uses NI-IMAQ For USB functions, and I have built it into an executable file (EXE). What do I need on the computer that will be running this EXE?

Solution:
To run an EXE containing NI-IMAQ For USB functions, complete the following steps on the computer running the EXE:

  1. Install the following run-time engines:
    • LabVIEW Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
    • Vision Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
      • A single-seat Vision Deployment License is required for each target machine on which you install the Vision Run-time Engine. See Related Links for more details.

  2. Copy the following DLLs from your development machine's System Directory, typically C:\Windows\system32, to your target machine's System Directory.
    • ImaqDirectShowDll.dll
    • ImaqDirectShowExport.dll

  3. Register the ImaqDirectShowExport DLL by clicking on the Windows Start Menu and selecting Run. Type in regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ImaqDirectShowExport.dll and click OK to register the DLL. You can drag the file to the command line in the Run prompt to get the full path if you are on a different OS or if the system directory is different. The ImaqDirectShowDll does not have to be registered.
Once these steps are completed and the DLL is registered successfully, your EXE will work.
