To distribute a LabVIEW application that uses the FieldPoint VI's (FP Advise, FP Read, FP Write, etc...), you will need to install FieldPoint Explorer on the target machine. By copying the FieldPoint Explorer installer onto you distribution disks, it will be possible to have your installer call the FieldPoint Explorer installer. Unfortunately, at the current time FieldPoint Explorer does not support silent installs so the user will have to choose all of the FieldPoint Explorer installation options themselves. Additionally, in Application Builder, you should include as a support file, the file named FPLVMGR.DLL which is in the labview\vi.lib\fieldpoint\subvis folder. If you do not include this file with your installer, you executable will not work on the target
machine. You do not need to include any serial drivers in this case. You will also need to include the IAK file that contains the configuration information. If the FP Open.vi in your probam does not have the IAK file name and path wired into it, then you will need to launch FieldPoint Explorer and open the IAK file and then close FieldPoint Explorer prior to the first use of the program.
On the other hand, if you are using the FieldPoint Optomux VI's, then you do not need FieldPoint Explorer or the FPLVMGR.DLL but you will need the SERPDRV serial driver.
Additional files that you will need inclded the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and NI-DAQ.
