Distribution Kit questions

[Industrial System]

Got a couple of questions with regards to creating distribution kits (via CVI platform 6.0)

1. How do I configure the distribution platform so that after Installer Window uninstalls the software, it will auto install the intended software? At present, user need to double click on 'setup.exe' again, after the uninstall process, inorder to install the software.

2. How do I assign a unique serial number for the distribution of the software?

Hello

For such advanced functionality, you might consider checking out some third party software installation creation packages. The CVI distribution kit is meant to provide some basic functionality for packaging your application, so it does not provide you with complete control over creating the installer package.
Once you start needing more advanced functionamlity, there is always the option of editing the msi files, since CVI uses Microsoft Installer Technology and this is fully documented on the their website.

Hope National Instrument can consider using Install Shield in the future.
