Problem: How do I build Test Executive 5.1 for LabVIEW 5.0x into a stand-alone executable?

Solution:
  1. Insert the top level Test Executive.vi from the operator.llb onto the diagram of a new VI that will serve as a temporary place holding VI; save this VI as TETemp.vi.
  2. Next, insert the Open/Create/Replace File.vi from <LabVIEW>\vi.lib\Utility\File.llb and Open Panel.vi from <LabVIEW>\vi.lib\Utility\victl.llb onto the same diagram.
  3. Select File»Save with Options.
  4. Check the Application Distribution box, Click Save, and choose a New VI library.
  5. Select File»Edit VI Library and select the library you created in step 4.
  6. Delete the TETemp.vi that you created in step 1 from the library and select Test Executive.vi as a top level VI.
  7. Now you will build the application. Select Tools»Build Application.
  8. Choose the above library as an embedded library, and give the application a name.
  9. After building the application, add daqdrv and serpdrv to the directory where the EXE resides.
  10. Also copy the operator.llb, callback.llb, and engine.llb to the directory where the EXE resides.
  11. You may get a few prompts asking you to find a VI, but once you point it to the right location in one of the libraries you included in steps 1-9, it should work fine.
