I am currently updating a CVI6.0 IVI class driver (DCPSU) in CVI8.5. The original version used the installer created in the DLL project to distribute this driver and then a WISE installer to configure LabVIEW to make it available to the user without the need to import it via the fp file.
I now have access to Create IVI Installer and have created a installer. The following questions have arisen though?
- An MSI file is produced, is it acceptable to distribute just this or should I be distributing the DLL installer and spawning this MSI package from it (it seems suspiciously small at only 1MB for an NI produced installer 🙂 )?
- Once installed will MAX (or any other product) reflect this?
- How would the LabVIEW programmer interact with the driver in terms of selecting it from a pallet?
- Is there some way I can add a Soft Panel that can be accessed in MAX?
If anyone knows of an article that summaries any/all of the above I would appreciate it if they could post a link.
Thanks in advance.
