After you develop a VI on the host computer, you can build the VI into an executable application. You also can build an installer that includes the executable application or other files and deploy or run the installer on a Windows Embedded Standard target. If you build an installer, include any components users need to run your application.

Note��To build a stand-alone application or installer, you must have the Application Builder installed. The LabVIEW Professional Development System includes the Application Builder. If you use another LabVIEW development system, you can purchase the Application Builder separately by visiting the National Instruments website. |
To build an application or installer, you first must create a build specification. A build specification contains all the settings for the build, such as files to include, directories to create, and settings for VIs. You can create a build specification at any time by right-clicking Build Specifications under the Windows Embedded Standard target in the Project Explorer window and selecting New�Application (EXE) or New�Installer from the shortcut menu.
After creating the build specification, right-click the build specification in the Project Explorer window and select one of the following options from the shortcut menu:
