LV 7 Application w/o Installer?

[DEM@ORNL]

We have an application recently updated from LV 5.1 that we are trying to
install on a computer with Embedded NT. For the 5.1 version we could simply
copy the exe from Application Builder along with lvrt.dll to the target
system and run. Such simplicity is not the case for the application built
with 7.0, and the installer does not work with Embedded NT (so I'm told). If
the 7.0 exe and lvrt.dll for 7.0 are used, when the application is started
there is an error dialog to the effect that resources cannot be found. Is
there a way to get a list of files necessary to support an application built
with the LV 7.0 application builder? Are registry entries/changes required?

As a alternate, has anyone tried to install LabVIEW 5.1 on a computer
where
only 6.1 and 7.0 are installed? I could always go back to 5.1 but I'm
concerned the "out of order" installation may trash 6.1 and/or 7.0

The short answer is; include the files from the National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\ directory together with the application. lvrt.dll and lvapp.rsc are the most important ones...

Perhaps your application is using additional resources for IO e.g. though...? The old serial VIs have been replaced with VISA which requires VISA to be installed. We've so far replaced the new visa VIs with the old serpdrv driven ones and they work fine if you just include serpdrv as before...
