CVI Distribution Problem

[bluemoose]

Hi,

I made a small CVI program to read data from a DAQ device, using the example code at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/583.
I mostly just added another plot and an option to save the data.  Somehow, when I go to make a distribution, it's telling me that I need to include LabVIEW and a bunch of other stuff that I don't have installed with the distribution.  This doesn't happen when I try to distribute the example code, it only seems to need the basics.  I'm not sure what I've done that has convinced CVI that it needs to include LabVIEW, among other things.  It won't let me unselect the boxes to include LabVIEW in the distribution, but I can't complete building a distribution because I don't seem to have what it wants on this machine.  Help?

The DAQmx driver has dependencies that include versions of the LabVIEW run-time engine. If you want to package DAQ into your distribution, you will have to include its dependencies as well. During the distribution build process you should be prompted for the necessary source media (original NI distributions). Any installer your are prompted for will be something that has been installed on the system at some point prior.

If this is a problem for you, you can deselect the DAQmx component from the list. In that case you must install the DAQ driver to your target systems separately (from an NI Driver CD, for example).

Thanks, I managed to get a distribution to build 🙂  Hopefully with the DAQ driver installed on the target system it all works.
