hi there

1. see http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/70E9EC9C17D0561A86256FCD0073D9BB. be sure to add DataSocket support to your installer.

2. call ..\National Instruments\LabVIEW X.Y\vi.lib\platform\dataskt.llb\DataSocket Server Control.vi to start the server

hi there

the DataSocket Server Control.vi is part of the Old-School llb for datasocket handling. since LV 6.1 or something datasocket handling is performed by the DataSocket Open/Read/Write/Close functions in the datasocket palette. they just forgot to put the vi inside this palette too (at least they put the DataSocket Select URL.vi to the palette..)

i think the datasocket configuration is saved in cwdssini.dss in the datasocket directory (just see the date and time of the file when you save a configuration). add a copy of this file to the additional files list of your installer (see attachment).
