Trying to create installer to distribute lvlib or xcontrol

I'm trying to create an installer to distribute an XControl.  I try to configure the Installer Buildspec to send the whole XControl to user.lib on the Destination and I get an error message: "The LabVIEW Project Library does not share a common path to disk with the files the project library owns".  This is not true since the XControl and the files it owns are all in the same directory.

 

Apparently this is a known error and the solution is to pick the XControl NOT from under "My Computer" in the Project View BUT from under the EXE Buildspec under Build Specifications.  The problem is I have no need to create an executable: all I want is an installer that will place the XControl on the Destination's user.lib.

 

I even tried to create a dummy EXE, but then the problem is I have to send the whole EXE Buildspec to user.lib, which I don't want to do.  Any ideas?

You should create a source distribution for your library. Then create an installer for this source distribution.
