runtime and executable

[begovatp]

I am trying to create a Runtime together with a executable but would like to keep the size small.  Therefore I have created a small and uncomplicated VI that does not use any drivers, however the Runtime is still very big.  Is there any way I can slim down the Runtime and choose which drivers or parts of the Runtime I need instead of using having to include the whole program, or do you just have to live with the size of the file?

This question has been raised many times. In fact, just in the past few weeks I think I've seen it twice. Did you try a search? The short answer is: the Run-Time Installer is big. The long answer: There's a minimum RTE, but that's designed for use with the browser plug-in for viewing remote panels. It is not guaranteed to work with "regular" executables since many of the libraries are simply not there.
