No, any DLL developed in CVI will depend on the one of CVI's runtimes, just as all Visual C++ DLLs would depend on the VC++ runtime. We do give you two options:
1) The full CVI RTE (supporting all CVI functions and libraries)
2) Instrument Driver Only support (supports a small subset of CVI functions and libraries, this mode is designed for instrument driver developers that want to distribute a very small runtime).
Consult the help under the DLL Target Settings for more information.
