Edit LabVIEW palette sets automatically

[eamo2020]

I have a device driver I am installing to the user.lib folder, there are various .mnu files included in the driver. After I install my driver I need to go to

Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Sets...

And create a new sub palette from the mnu file.

Is it possible to automate this? I would rather the user could simply install the driver and their palettes would already be taken care of.

I would very highly recommend VI Package Manager.  You should be able to do what you want with the free (community) version.

You can do that with a normal installer. Just create an installer which creates a folder in the user.lib directory. If that folder contains a .mnu file the palette should show up correctly.

Of course you can also use subfolders, each of them must also contain a .mnu file.

To create the .mnu file(s) that are part of the installer you have to use "Edit Palette Sets..." of course.
