Best way to bundle NI dlls in my application setup

[chitragar_v@yahoo.com]

My application is using NI-CAN s/w [dlls]. Iam using InstallShield V10.1 Profession edition to create the setup.
what/how are the components[dlls] to be included under the setup so that i dont have to install NI-CAN s/w on the target PC so as to run my application there?

Thanks in advance ...

Hi,

Are you asking which files you need to include in order for your application to run on another machine?

If not, I assume InstallShield offers some method of including dlls and header files. It may also provide a method of installing the dll and header files into the Windows system directory. I have never used InstallShield, however. I would start with the InstallShield support page -> http://support.installshield.com/. Has anyone else used InstallShield to distribute dlls?

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for responding to my message.

Your first assumption is valid. Iam pretty comfortable will InstallShield ...

The problem iam facing is; Even if supply all the dll's required by my application [under the setup], it fails to run. It pops up the error message[attached].

Aim is that; My NI-CAN application should run on the target computer[on which no NI-CAN h/w or s/w is installed] as long as it is not firing/calling[runtime] any of the NI api's.

So in order to achieve this what are dll's, registry keys, etc., need to be supplied/created?
If Iam provide dll's which of them needs to be registered?

Kind regards
Vinayak
