application builder subvi

I'm just learning to use the application builder, my interest is in creating a stand alone application & installer. 
  Is it possible to generate a single executable file which contains the top level VI as well as all of its sub-Vis ??  If the answer is NO, then where (and as what) should all of the subvis be saved so as to maintain maximum simplicity and portability? 
 
I haven't yet found a gold mine of resources/tutorials on using the Application builder, are they hidding from me?
 
Thanks,  Kevin

If you aren't using dynamic VIs (as opened by 'Open VI Ref') you will automatically include all subVIs into the executable.

That's about all their is to be said.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  It looks like you are on the right track, but it might be worthwhile to take a quick look at this Developers Zone Article.  This document is very useful because it has screenshots depicting each step of the process.

I hope this helps!  Let me know if there is anything else I can help with or clarify.  Have a great day!
