= Introduction =

The application builder (AB) is a part of the LabVIEW Project environment, it has the possibilities to distribute your code in various ways: 

*Executables 
*DLLs 
*Source distributions 
*Web services 
*Installers 

Depending on the LabVIEW version you have one or more of the above options might be missing.

= Advanced =

The application builder has several interesting advanced uses 

== Automatic building ==

You can use a VI inside vi.lib that can build without user interaction. The VI is located in <''vi.lib>\AppBuilder\BuildTargetBuildSpecification.vi''. This VI takes a project path and optionally a build and target name as parameters. 

== Symbolic paths ==

Inside the application builder LabVIEW uses several symbolic paths to have envorinment dependent variables. 

{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" style="width: 708px; height: 104px;"
|-
! scope="col" | Symbolic path 
! scope="col" | Contents 
! scope="col" | Usage 
|-
| NI_AB_PROJECTNAME 
| Name of the project 
| Automatically place the build in a folder that is named after the project 
|-
| NI_AB_TARGETNAME 
| Name of the (Real-Time) target 
| 
|}
