can visa runtime engine be included in application build?

[asimpleman]

I just installed my program on a new machine and it wouldn't work. Turned
out I needed to also install the visa runtime engine. Is there any way to
automatically include that in the application build?

Hi,

With the Application builder running, Select the Installer Settings tab. Check the checkbox Create installer control. This will enable all the controls on that Tab.
Press the Advanced button and on the Advanced Installer Settings window should be some more check boxes.
Under the text message 'Include the following in the installer' is the checkbox LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. make show this is check. (by default this control is checked.)

hope this helps

Hi,

Sorry I've missed read your query.

With the Advance Installer Settings displayed, Check the Run Executable after installation control. This is allow you to enter the path to the visaRT engine installer and any cmd line arguments.

Hope this helps

I've seen that you can tick of under the "additional installers" that Visa runtime is included, however, this will look for the installer files on the CD's. Is there a way to update this ? (I have 4.0 on the disc, and would like to included 4.2 in my build for installation/deployment.

The file I download from NI is a .exe, but the linking to the build configurator is some strange windows code (see attached screenshot)
