Creating MSI Installer

I need to create an MSI installer rather than the setup.exe that LabVIEW creates.  Is this possible please?

 

This suggests it is:

And this suggests it isn't:

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

 

From looking into this so far, it doesn't appear like creating an MSI installer is possible? I'm investigating the suggestion provided by that KB, but can't seem to find the Installer Settings tab it mentions...

 

As far as I'm aware, the setup.exe is a bootlegger which calls the relevant installation msi's required once after checking if the system is compatible. A one-click installation msi appears to be a current suggestion in the Idea Exchange for the next iteration of LabVIEW, so hopefully it might get picked up as a suggestion for the upcoming release?

 

As far as I have been able to see so far, setup.exe seems to be the only option, but hopefully someone else might be able to point us in the right direction. I'll have another dig around and see what I can dig up
