Solved!

Hi,

 

I am looking for a mechanism to create an Installer where several another installer can be placed inside and let the parent Installer offers me to choose them. I hope such mechanisms are possible in LabVIEW. Please do help if anyone has knowldege of it.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Vivek

Vivek,

 

you have two possibilities:

Either you create your own installer by merging the installers' merge modules. You can find help on this here.

The other way is to write a batch-file (*.bat) which calls every subinstaller in a silent routine.

 

hope this helps,

Norbert

Thanks Norbert for quick response. I appreciate that.

It means that we can't perform such operation in labview and need some external agency to get it done?? Why I am asking because we are on some project that have got such requirement and looking around to get it done through LabVIEW.

 

Looking Forward.

Vivek,

 

if the additional installers are solely from NI (e.g. LV Runtime Engine, device driver like DAQmx), you can include them simply by selecting them in the build settings. This will work only for NI components.

If you are using 3rd party driver, please refer to my previous post. If you want to create a single installer, you'd propably better contact someone else in order to do this. If the package might consist of different installers which are called by a batch file, you can go for the batch file. In my experience, this is most often a rather simple solution, but it depends on the installers involved....

 

hope this helps,

Norbert
