How do I create installer that checks the available Run Time Engine on the target system

Hi,

 

I am looking for a soultion on custom Installer where this Installer once done with the Installation should be capable of checking the presence of Runtime Engine on the target system. I amaware of including/checking the LV RTE checkbox for such options and we are working on some other concept. The thing is we would like to give the user a pop-up or any message that shows the presence of Runtime engine on the target system after finishing the installation. In case the runtime engine is not already installed on the target system, this time the message will be for the link to get the .exe and close the installation. 

 

Overall we would like to minimize the size of our Installer that in case will get increased if we include Run Time Engine along with the Installer. 

 

I am also assuming that such checking can be done through Advanced Tab in the Installer properties by including any such .exe for performing those things but looking for more options if possible to get it done. 

 

Please do let me know if someone has any idea about it. 

 

Thnaks in Advance,

Vivek

Hi teststand,

you can start another program which checks if the rte is available. It should also be possible with only a batch file.

Testand,

 

The best way would be to contact NI when u are talking about customized installer.
