I want to run saved VI's from one computer with LabVIEW 8.5 Professional Development (8.5) on another computer using the Run-Time Software.
 
After installing LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.5 (<a href="http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/labview/labview_runtime/8.5/windows/LabVIEW85RuntimeEngineFull.exe" target="_blank">LabVIEW85RuntimeEngineFull.exe</a>&nbsp;from <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/861/lang/en" target="_blank">http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/861/lang/en</a>), do I need to do anything else before running a saved VI created in LabVIEW 8.5 from another computer? I install the program, but the only options under programs-national instruments are:
-data socket
-License Manager
&nbsp;
When I installed LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.1 on the same computer there was an shortcut under&nbsp;"programs-national instruments-" to LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.1, which is what I need but for the Run-Time Engine 8.5 instead.

I believe you can not do this. The runtime I believe requires the executable version of the VI.
You will need to build an application from your saved VI. In the application builder, you can include the run-time libraries and progras. This will help ease the installation process. Once you have completed this operation, you can just run the executable with your VI.
