Project deployment and distribution

This section will guide you how to use AIVT-OV Toolkit developed LabVIEW The project is packaged as an executable file (EXE) and activated and deployed on the target computer to achieve real application delivery and offline operation.

Deployment Goals

Will LabVIEW Project compiles EXE File
Run on target device EXE Realize tasks such as model inference and image acquisition
No need to install LabVIEW Development environment with only runtime components and licenses installed

Packing EXE Procedure

1. the main application to generate an EXE

Create or open a project

Open the LabVIEW project and make sure that the VIs in it are running correctly. Note that code that involves file paths may cause errors due to path problems after being compiled to EXE. For such errors, you can refer to KB:5SD4CE7K,3HKEK93U, 2T6GI6BH, 18RDJ60O
Add VI

In the main program, that is, the vi that uses the functions under the opencv_yiku module, add set_cvdll_path.vi, and connect the error cluster of set_cvdll_path.vi to the functions vi under all opencv_yiku modules. This step is very important, as shown in the following figure:
Add DLL Folder

Create a virtual folder in your projectdlland add all dLL files in the following path to the folder:
- \vi.lib\VIRobotics\opencv_yiku
Add Active VI

will be activated with vi:Open License Manager.vi to add to the project. The vi can be found in the example finder: Help>>Find Examples>>Directory Structure>>VIRobotics>>AI Vision>>License Management
Create an application (EXE)

InBuild SpecificationsRight-click to selectNew >> Application（EXE）.
Set target file name and directory

Avoid using Chinese characters or spaces in case the generated file does not work properly.
Select Source File

Add a top-level VIStartup VIs, other sub-VI anddllAdd foldersAlways Included.
Preview and Generate

SelectPreview >> Generate PreviewConfirm the generated content, and then click "Generate" to complete the EXE creation.
Test EXE

Run the generated EXE file on the development side to ensure that it can run normally. If there is a problem, check whether the above DLL file is completely loaded.

2. Activate Tools to Generate EXE

⚠Note that the activation tool can be activated once at the deployment end.

If you need to package the project as exe and deploy it to other terminal devices, then you need to ensure that you have packaged the activation function, please refer to example vi:Open. License Manager.vi, which can be found in the example finder: Help>>Find Examples>>Directory Structure>>VIRobotics>>AI Vision>>License Management
package the activation vi together with the project to generate an exe, or package the activation vi separately as an exe

Deployment steps

1. deployment environment requirements

Project	Requirements
Operating System	Windows 10/11 x64
Runrtime support	LabVIEW 64-bit Runtime (consistent with project version)
CPU	intel 6-14 generation cpu
Graphics support	Intel iGPU / A770 / Solo (support OpenVINO)

2. driver preparation (one of the following methods can be selected)

Method 1: Automatic installation of the program 1. Download the automatic configuration driver, Download link: https://bj11112.apps.aliyunfile.com/disk/s/KsNmFu4wWhL 2. Decompress the entire compression package of "OpenVINO Driver Installation x.x.zip". If the development version is 2.0.0.1-2.0.0.8, install-2025-0.bat , if version 2.0.0.9 and above, install-2025-2.bat

Method two: manual installation

Path on computer will be developedC:\ProgramData\VIRobotics\driverunderOpenVINOfolder to the non-Chinese path of the deployment computer, suchC:\ProgramData\VIRobotics\driver.

Add the following path to the system environment variable:

C:\ProgramData\VIRobotics\driver\OpenVINO\bin\intel64\Release

C:\ProgramData\VIRobotics\driver\OpenVINO\3rdparty\tbb\bin

3. Deployment Side license Activation

Offline Activation Process

Open the activation tool, click Offline Version
Provide Computer ID Give technical support
Get .lic File
Select corresponding Product Name, loading .lic, click Activate

Run the main application

Run the generated AI application to ensure proper functionality.

Deployment optimization recommendations

Optimization Item	Recommendations
Model Path	Use controls to configure model paths to avoid hard coding
Output Settings	It is recommended to add image saving function for result verification
Logging	Log file output can be added to record running status and errors
Interface optimization	Use controls to hide, run progress bars, beautify windows and other ways to improve delivery quality

Common Problems and Troubleshooting

1. LabVIEW:Resource not found. libcvdll.dll not_found.libcvdll

Solution: CheckEXEfolder'sdataDoes the directory containlibcvdll.dllIf not, it means that you did not load the dll during packaging and need to repackage it.

2. LabVIEW:Resource not found. lvopenvino.dll

Solution: Check whetheropenvinoThe driver folder is copied to the deployment computer and the system environment variables have been successfully set.

3. The development side is normal but the deployment side reports an error.:

Solution: - Verify that all DLL files are loaded correctly. However, the running program still reports a dll error related to the toolkit, so please download and install the vc_runtime on the deployment computer. - When installing the VC runtime on the deployment computer:Click to download.

4. EXE Run-time prompt "Unauthorized":

Solution: Check whether the deployment side license is activated and whether the path is correct.

5. Image acquisition failed:

Solution: Check whether there is a camera and whether the driver is installed correctly

6. EXE starts flash back

Solution: missing dependency library or path error, Installer packaging method is recommended
