How do I transfer NI-MAX config file during application installation?

[nader1234]

I am installing my application on a PC that has no NI software.  The installation installs LV Run-Time, NI-DAQmx, and NI-MAX but the MAX configuration is the default.  I am using a USB DAQ card.  I know that I can export the correct MAX configuration file but I don't know where to put it on the PC so that MAX sees it.

Thanks.

If you choose to include the harware config when you create the installer, then you don't have to worry about where it is placed and during the install process, MAX on the new pc will attempt to import it

If you want to manually copy the config file to the new pc, put it anywhere you want. You have to use the File>Import function in MAX in order to use the new config.

Perfect ... I missed that option in the installer builder.

Thanks, Dennis.
