How to include the visa run-time into the installer?

[hugoliang]

Dear All,

          I made an USB device whose driver is developed by "NI visa driver development wizard".

          In my program, the COM is also be used. When it is builded and creats the installer, I have checked the Serial Port Suport in Advanced settings in Installer which I thought the visa run-time engine is concluded. In fact, when it is installed, the COM can work correctly, but the USB device's driver can't be installed. To fix it, the visa run-time engine must be setupped again.

          I see that I can add it to "run executable after installation" but during the installaion of run-time engine, some pages will be displayed which need user to choose some option.

         Would you please give some suggestion that the process of installation is automatic. Certainly the part of visa run-time engine which the USB driver is needed can be integrated to the installer of vi(like COM) is best.

          Thank you!

Hugo

PS: I am using LabVIEW 7.1

First, you can install a VISA Runtime Engine in the target PC, to verify it is VISA Run Time Engine issue. If so, you can add a VISA Run Time Engine in LabVIEW when creating an Installer. It is much easy in LabVIEW 8 and still possible in LabVIEW 7.1. Follow the link. http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E09BA0E2F31D304F86256A640070058E?OpenDocument
