Application builder

Hello All,

I have a labview application and I have installed it in C:program files:XYZ

Why cannot i install the same application in C:xyz ? Can I install it in some other drive after installing in "C:program files:XYZ "(I haven't tested as the systems all here have a single C drive)

Question 2

Once I install the program I need to copy some specific files for specific hardware. But when I uninstall the my application, the files that are copied later will still remain in that location, is there any method to delete those files when the application is being un-installed?

Not sure I understand your question but I never let that stop me...

You installed a Labview compiled app to C:/bla/bla/bla/progam.exe and you now want to install a new version to the same directory but the installer will not let you?

I have not ran into this exact situation because I find that once you make an "installer" new versions can be just compiled and copied right over the old ones. 

When you "build" an application three files are created program.exe, program.ini, and program.ailases.

Just copy the new files right over the old ones (or make a backup first)

As for #2 if you manually copied the files then you will have to manually remove them.

Thanks for the reply,

I meant I have same application called A.exe which was never installed earlier in PC.

Now I need to install this application in C:pgm files:A:A.exe AND C:junk:A.exe, i tried to install this but somehow it didnt give an option while running the installer for second time.

Installer gave message "No software will be installed" I am using labview 8.2

You cannot install the same application on a PC twice in different locations. The OS knows where to find the application (using a unique installation key) and if you try to install it a second time, it will find the key which already links to a certain location.

Had expected this,  I am working at client place, and they created a installer using installshield application, and that application is giving access to install in 2 different locations on the same drive.

Here I do not have two drives on any PC to check whether it gets installed in C drive as well as in D Drive.
