The Conditional Disable Structure...

Unfortunately I do not think the conditional disable structure will work the way that you want without some extra effort.

The only time RUN_TIME_ENGINE is FALSE will be if you are running the code on your host machine. This works if you are using the simulator vs the actual robot, but once you run it on the robot as you describe it will be TRUE. Target_Type and OS will give you the same issue.

You can create a conditional that is project wide, and manually change it when you build, but that is tedious and more importantly is error prone.

You may be able to play around with the build specification, maybe with the pre/post build actions combined with the project wide build specification, but this is not something I have never tried.

You may be better of with the suggestion from Ari423 unless you have a good reason to prevent the code block from compiling in the first place.
