installer include vi.lib

[richjoh]

Can someone explain how to make the installer copy vi.lib dependency files. I thought this was automatic through the installer.

my project includes vi.lib as a dependency but whenever I build then run installer, vi.lib is not copied on the target PC. I'm sure vi.lib dependency is from reusing a VI driver files from the driver library. To only use files I'm going to use, I linked the driver files to vi.lib in the Labview2010...vi.lib programs folder.

They're not supposed to be copied. The necessary files should be part of the LabVIEW Run-Time, or part of whatever Run-Time version of the toolkit that you are using. What are you trying to copy, and why?

yes that what I thought and now that you cofirmed, something is awry on the installation of the target PC. after installing the runtime LV2010 no Labview 2010 folders are created in the program directory. I'll go back and try another install... Thx.
