Having major problem with deployed installer needing DLLs that I don't seem to use in the application

[jonathanupr]

I'm a bit confounded on the library situations...I'm not using an RT target...

though when running the deployed executable/installer.... upon start it asks for these 2 dlls:  lvuste.dll & lvalarms.dll. which seem to be related to RT  ????  how do I get around this?  How would I include these dlls within an executable or installer?

I'm using 8.5.

Are you using shared variables?  Anything that would be considered part of the DSC module?

I'm hoping someone will have an answer to this question, as I was just going to post it myself.  I haven't looked into how much I'm using these particular DLLs (the same exact ones as jonathanupr), but I'd really like to somehow bundle them into my application so it is self-sufficient, rather than requiring a data folder with these DLLs in it in the same folder as the executable.  Any ideas?  I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1.

P.S.  As far as usage, I don't do anything with real-time per say, but I do use timed while loops, which if I recall correctly might be the culprit.  If that is true, I might be able to replace them with regular while loops and wait VIs to fix this issue.  I do not use shared variables.

It looks like this was a problem with the way Timed loops link directly to those 2 DLLs.  Does the error ask for those DLLs in a specific folder?  If so you can copy them from their current location (which I believe should be <labview>\resource folder) to the folder that it wants them to be in.  Alternately you can simply remove the timed loops, since timed loops on a Windows PC doesn't really have much benefit over a while loop with a timer.

Hope this helps...

Thanks, David!  Hearing that timed loops probably are the cause, and re-confirming that they do not add value compared to a regular while loop with a timer, is exactly what I needed.  I'll try to remove them in the next update of my application and hopefully that will remove the dependancy.

Great, glad to help.  Let us know if that doesn't solve it.
