I'm trying to run a labview stand-alone application which includes a web service VI using labview 2013 on a windows 7 64bit system.
According to the instructions I read, the web services included in a stand-alone app should be accessible through a web server unique to the application I built only while the app is running. However, when I run the application and try to access the web service with a web browser through the port I specified in the build specifications settings, I get the response "the connection to localhost:8002 could not be established". What am I missing?
These are the build settings I set up:
properties -> web services -> checked the web service I want to inlcude in the application & enabled HTTP port 8002.
properties -> source files -> added the web service VI to "always included" just in case.
Here is the niembeddedws.conf file I got:
# Web server configuration file.

and here is the application.ini file I got:
[Application]
server.app.propertiesEnabled=True
server.tcp.paranoid=True
server.tcp.serviceName="My Computer/VI Server"
server.vi.callsEnabled=True
server.vi.propertiesEnabled=True
WebServer.TcpAccess="c+*"

DebugServerWaitOnLaunch=False
RTTarget.ApplicationPath=\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents\LabVIEW Data\Remote Development\startup.rtexe
RTTarget.VIPath=\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents\LabVIEW Data\Remote Development
Of course, I also got the application.exe, application.aliases and webservice.lvws files too.
When I run the application and check the active ports with netstat -aon | more I don't see port 8002 listening either.
By the way, I tried first to access the web service as a stand-alone web service by deploying it directly from labview and it works fine. I'm testing everything in the same computer where I have the labview 2013 installed.
Any ideas?
