Building smaller CVI distribution kits

[Scott Youngren]

Hi

My latest build exceeds a CD size by about 50mb, requiring a 2nd CD. Noticing all of the foreign language support being included in the build, is there any way to limit language support, since the release is not going outside the company walls?

Hi Scott,

A better option to limit your overall build size would be to eliminate the unnecesary portions of the CVI Run-Time engine, most likely the .NET support if you are not using .NET controls, because that will give you 70MB back.  Another possible thing to eliminate is the unnecessary portions of the DAQmx driver which I assume you are using if the build is that large.  If so the absolutely necessary portion is the Core Run-Time engine.

Also in the help section Edit Installer Dialog Box - Advanced Tab it describes how to set the distribution media size so that it automatically can put the distribution onto two disks for you.

Thanks Ryan

I'll look into those ideas. I'm out until next monday!
