distributing NIDaq software

[nirvtek]

Hi

I have a NIDAqmx based application which can function without NI hardware present.

Is there a software redistributable which can be supplied with the app so that errors relating to missing DLLs don't occur?

Thanks

You can install either the full DAQmx or the core runtime of DAQmx. Either one is a couple of clicks away by selecting 'Support' at the top of the page and then searching for the version you want.

Thanks, that answers my question.

Nm. Please ignore this

My C NIdaq-mx based app doesn't run with the core runtime. It complains about DLLs such as nicaiu.dll.

Nirvtek,

Based on the information in this forum post:

I think you will need to install DAQmx on the deployment machines. You can't distribute the DLL by itself with your application.

Thanks for that. The Daqmx installer  is over a gig in size. Is it legal to distribute the daqmx installer with my app?

Sure! It's freely available on ni.com, so I don't see why it would be a problem.
