Confirming the Presence of the Application Builder

The Application Builder is part of the LabVIEW Professional Development System, but it is also available as an add-on for the LabVIEW Full Development System and the LabVIEW Base Package. See the National Instruments Online Store for more information.

If you have the Application Builder and it is properly installed, then you should see it in one of the LabVIEW menus, as illustrated in the pictures below.

If you have LabVIEW 5.0.x, then the Application Builder can be found under the Project menu:

For LabVIEW 5.1, the Project menu is slightly different:

FFor LabVIEW 6.x and 7.x, the Application Builder is found under the Tools menu:

If you do not see the Application Builder in one of your LabVIEW menus, then you may not have the Application Builder, or the Application Builder may not be installed correctly.

Note: You will not be able to create a stand-alone executable from you LabVIEW VIs without the Application Builder.

The Application Builder resides in an applibs folder, which should be in your LabVIEW directory. If you do not see this folder in your LabVIEW directory, then search your hard drive for the applibs folder (Start » Find » Files or Folders). If you find this folder in a different location, then you will need to uninstall and then reinstall the Application Builder. You will need to provide the installer with the correct path to the LabVIEW directory when prompted.

Note: Your Application Builder version and your LabVIEW version must be the same, in order for LabVIEW and the Application Builder to work together correctly. If you purchased the Application Builder for an older version of LabVIEW, then you may request an upgrade to the newer version.
