Installer build: When run, error: Windows can't open this file xyz.vi

Hello all, I've taken my vi. I"ve created it as an executable. I've taken that...and made an Installer project... This is with LV 2011, and installing to Win7. The installer seems to work fine...but when I try to run the application from the start menu, I get a windows error, saying it doesn't know what to do with my file xyz.vi...that it needs to know what application to open it with....? Any ideas what to do here? The installer seems to install the NI runtime engine just fine...? Would this be due to, on the Installer builder...setting the vi to be read-only and hidden? When I'd done this a previous time, I believe it all worked then... Suggestions? Thank you, cayenne

Please disregard...I found the problem after going through the older working one....

 

Late nights and working two jobs...you start to overlook things.

 

FOr the dependency, I'd put the vi instead of the exe of the vi.....that did the trick.

 

Thanks all,
