How to install CVIRTE 7.0 ?

[josswern]

I wonder how to install just the RTE onto a target machine. this is what I found out so far:
execution of CVIRTE.msi from the install cd seems to work, but if I try to run a program compiled with CVI 7.0 afterwards, it complains about missing dll's.
only if I install the program using a distribution kit
built with cvi, it will work.
however, this is not my preferred way to install target machines - I usually install once the RTE and then just copy cvi-executables afterwards.
is this no more possible ?

The CVIRTE.msi should install the CVI Run-time engine properly. I suspect that the DLLs your application is looking for is not part of the CVI RTE. What DLLs is the program complaining about?

The CVIRTE.msi is an internal installation part for National Instruments. It does not actually install anything unless you pass to it some special properties to tell it that it has a dependency.

You can get to our external installer part by going to the FTP site:

Thanks, Jeff,
I think this is the way to go - unfortunately the link above seems to be broken (I get HTTP error 500) -
can you please check if the URL ist ok ?

hmm,
I can't exactly remember - but I'm pretty sure my program doesn't use any other dll's that CVI's.
since I installed my program via distrubution kit, I
cannot reproduce the mentioned problem on this target machine - I will recheck on another one and post the
results here.
thanks for your time.

I am sorry you must remove the space from the last part of the link:
