I cannot build an installer for my program

Do you get the same error if you do not include any additional installers?

Thanks,

Do you see where it says Installer Source Location? One or more of those paths will be empty or the installer will not be there.

That was it. That worked like a charm.

Thank you

Well, you might be able to create the installer by excluding everything but your exe will need them to ruin.

According to the images showing Additional installers, the only installer included was LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. LV RTE is required to be on the machine, for proper operation of the application. But if LabVIEW, or LV RTE is already installed on the PC, the application will function without any issues.

Then the op is incorrect in saying he uses GPIB and VISA?

I do use GPIB and VISA. That is how I communicate with my instruments.

[Dennis_Knutson]

Then you must include those in your installer or install the drivers separately.

[User321]

I think it worked because LabVIEW was already including those installers, so it didn't need to be an "additional" installer. Since I didn't use any additional drivers or components, I didn't need any additional installers.

Just a guess.

Have you actually tried to run your program on a pc where nothing has been previously installed? That's the true test of whether the build works.
