Advenced Signal Processing 7.5 Run Time Engine in LVIEW 8.2 Installer

[RVR]

Hello,

I am trying ot create an installer using LVIEW 8.2 and I need to include the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit run-time engine but this is not listed in the 'Additional installers'.

I have run and installed the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit (7.5) and the run time engine on my machine.

How can I include this run time engine in my installer?

You can run the ASPT Run-time Engine 7.5 installer in the machine to run your installer. 

If you want to include ASPT Run-time Engine 7.5 in your installer, you can add the DLLs of the ASPT into your project and let your installer install the DLLs to the System32 folder.  The ASPT Run-time Engine 7.5 actually install the following DLLs to the System32 folder:

LVTFA.dll

LVTSA.dll

LVWA.dll

TFACore.dll

TFARef.dll

TSACore.dll

WACore.dll

WARef.dll

However, by doing so, you might have troubles in some cases.  Those DLLs might be shared by othe NI toolkits.  Running the ASPT Run-time Engine 7.5 installer is preferred because it can handle the sharing and version issues.

thanks for the hints.

i am wondering whether adding the ASPT run time engine in the installer so that it also installs is a possibility...and if so how can i do this manually?....i.e. I cannot select it from the list as it does not appear there, but can i add it manually?.

The Application Builder of LabVIEW cannot let you select the Advanced Signal Processing Runtime Engine like you select the LabVIEW runtime engine and other driver engines.   You have to do it by yourself.

What the Advanced Signal Processing Runtime Engine installer does is to install the DLLs to the system32 folder.  So what you need to do is to add the DLLs to your project and configure your installer to install the DLLs to the system32 folder.
