building installer requires CD named by project

Hi,


I'm trying to build an installer which contains some additional packages, like DAQmx, NI-CAN. It runs on my mashine but as I moved the project to another PC and tried to build it, it keeps asking me a disk which is in the name of the Installer.

I have all the "developer suite" disks but don't (and won't) have this disk.

How can I ignore this dialog and use the "developer suite" disk instead?

The Developer's Suite would have those applications.

You probably did not install them on your other PC.

You can put the developer suit DVD with those missing tools inside drive, and then can also give path to DVD drive to bundle them in installer.

Hi, 

 

thanks for your reply! I paste 2 pictures here to show how terrible is the error:

Error 1: As you see, the buld rejected my CD. All the CDs I've tried returns the same error.

Error 2: Then I used my Installer which is built on my laptop as reference. It turns out to be another error saids the version is not the right one.

 

I will also provide you some infomation why I have make it so complicated:


I've installed the LV2010 on my mashine and took the source code from 8.6 for updating. Naturally the code was converted to  2010 (sp1) format. I made an exe on my laptop and runs without problems on the mashines with developer suite. But on a PC with LV-Runtime and all the "plug-ins" (NI-CAN, DAQmx) windows always shows an error at start-up and promt to close the program. However, the program runs successfully on the mashine, if I ignore the close program dialog.

 

I suspect that, the SP1 makes the error without the run-time. So I tried to make an EXE on the desktop. 

On the desktop has the LV2010 (without sp1) developer suite. It builds the exe, which works perfectly on every PC (on which the run-time, NICAN and DAQmx are installed). But when I tried to build an installer, it fails and shows the error you've seen above...

 

It is posible to install the SP1 on the desktop but I don't want to take the risk right now!
