Setup files for runtimes for more recent Labview versions

[MattLawson]

Hello,

We have application software that is distributed to many users. 

It requires LV runtimes (of course), XNET, ECU Calibration , & NI VISA ,DAQ Mx.

I include these runtimes in the setup file (works great) - developed in LV2018. 

However, for our new Win11 computer, IT policy makes it that these additional libraries in the main setup file will not install. 

As I workaround, I provided  separate installation/setup files for the LV, XNET, ECU Calibration, and NI VISA, DAQ Mx runtimes (V18.5) that I got from the NI website. 

However, for the most recent release of the application software, I've upgraded this to LV2020  (moving to this verson for my sBRIO development).

Unfortunately, the separate runtime only setup files are no longer available on the website past LV2018 versions. 

Will I have to have the users install Package Manager and install the full versions of required runtimes?

Or is there another way to install runtimes only for later LabVIEW versions?

Thanks again for the help.

I recommend to Build a Custom Installer for Multiple Products Using the NI Package Builder

Thanks for the suggestion of NI Package builder. 

But this product only supports up to V2018 of Labview.

I was looking for something V2020 or newer.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Matt
