Application Builder Installer get very large.

[Anthony_de_Vries]

I have a relatively small program, and are making a stand-alone version for it.  

Also want an installer, with everything that's needed.    So I included the LV runtime, MAX, DAQmx and VISA runtime and config.

The build takes very long, and I end up with a 730MB source.   Installation also takes a really long time.    (Almost as long as Labview itself... )  

When installed, the program itself is only 2.7 MB...    But it gets another 700MB in the National Instruments directory.     Is that normal?

I know that if you have DAQmx 8.3 or newer, one way to reduce size of installer is to include runtime version of DAQmx instead of full copy.  See this link for more info.

That's perfect.  Exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks!
