How do I insure that the VISA driver is installed when I insatll my application using the application builder?

One some PC's , when I sniatll my applciation build with teh applicaio buider, it apperas that the VISA drivers  are missing. In other cases it install them fine.

With the last few versions of LV building an installer allows you to include installers for all the drivers you are using (DAQ, VISA, FP, etc). Check out the section in the installer specification called "Additional Installers" and scroll down to the bottom of the list.

There are a few ways you could check this.  First you can go into control panel>Add/Remove Programs.  Select Change for National Instruments Software and you can see if VISA Runtime is in the list.  Also, If you include Measurement and Automation Explorer in your install, you can expand the sofware tab to see what software is installed.

Thanks for the info. When I open the Additional Installers page I do not see the VISA run time in the list.  Do I need to install the VsIA run time on my computer fro it to appear in the list?

Hi Juand,

I have included some screenshots of where you would be able to see the VISA runtime in both MAX and in the installer page if you have it installed. 

If you do not have it installed, it can be downloaded at www.ni.com/downloads.  Although the runtime should have been installed with the full version of the driver.

Your question has nothing to do with the thread you posted in.  You should start a new thread.

There is no way I know of to do what you want with the application builder.  This type of question has come up a few times before with some ideas on how to work around it.  I would suggest some more searching of the forums.
