Change Installer defaults

Is there a way to setup the default installer settings. Can i have it always create a desktop and a program files shortcut? can i have a variable setting for the program files location, i.e. setpath\<program name> so that it creates a sub folder under program files. Trying to keep all apps in one location.

 

Side note about installer and ZIP. Would be nice if it could wrap it into a single install file and not a bounch of files. Or have ZIP make a executable ZIP that runs setup exe once extracted?

All of those options are selectable/configurable from the LabVIEW 2010 installer dialog.  I believe they were all in 2009 and I think 8.5 as well.

 

What version of LabVIEW are you using?

I have all versions from 8.0 to now. and an old 5.0 version floating around somewhere.

 

I meant I want to have default settings set. So when I start a new installer for a project it will automatically put things where I want and how I want.

 

I know i can set things up as i start new projects. The default for a new installer is to put an item in program files under the project name. i want my folder name then project name and also dekstop with no sub folder name.

 

 

Worse case i create a template project and build all projects based off that one. with exe and installers already setup and a main.vi being built. that actually might be a better idea then default settings.....?
