What files to include when using a third-party dist kit maker?

[DanP]

For reasons that are too long to type out here, I'd like to use a third-party distribution kit maker such as InstallShield or Wise to package my CVI application. Which general files from CVI (DLL's, etc.) do I need to include to make my app work? I can figure out which files I need specific to my app, but I need to know which DLL's and other files I should include that CVI needs to run any app.

Thanks.
Dan

You are opening a can of worms that is hard to pull off. NI stuff currently does not play that nice with other installers but you can make it work with a little effort. Here are some links to pages that you should read that will cover most of what you will need to know..

from there you may still have problems, I definatly recommend downlading the Windows Installer SDK and installing Orca you will probably need it.
