VISA runtime with installshield

[Cherry68]

How can I include VISA runtime install with my Visual c++ (Install Shield) installer?

Instead of asking user to execute VISA RT installer seperately.

Appl: Win32 platform
Tools: Component Works++ w/VISA for RS-232 Serial Comm.

This is not supported at this time. The only way to install the NI-VISA run-time is through the separate, standalone installer. National Instruments is aware that this is not the best way to redistribute driver software in all circumstances. National Instruments researching ways to allow customers to incorporate drivers more seamlessly into their installers.

Note that NI-VISA is not freely redistributable. You must ensure that each machine on which you install NI-VISA has a valid license for NI-VISA.

And the VISA runtime installer would be downloaded from??? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the NI site.

Thank you.

Is the licence required for each RUNTIME version of NI-VISA?

Has this changed since this question was posed?
