If I understand you correctly, you have build an executable. Do you remember if you checked the "serial port support" box in the Advanced Installer settings ?

Thanks, CC

           Ya that was the case why i was unable to do what i required, and i ve tried that way and it was working, but can you tell me that, without building installer, it isn't possible? bcoz building an installer is time taking also for the small application.

Thanks,

Nishant

Hi Nishant

If You are planning o run the application on the same PC on which you have tested the Source Code then You dont Need to create installer (Provided you are not going to uninstall the LabVIEW and other toolkits installed for development)

but if you are planning to deploy your application to other users then you must create an installer.

Installer ensures that all the compnents required by your application are present on the system where you are deploying your application.

I have two (or more) build scripts for my bigger applications.

One to create an installer version

One to just create the exe

If the runtime(s) and the drivers are installed once on a system, all that needs to be replaced are the changed files. In my case the exe.  (Objects thats needs to be registered to the system (DLL...) need more work )
