How to build installer

[sng99]

Hi,

I have LabView 2014 and trying to build and installer from an existing vi.

I encountered the attached error1. If I click OK or Build, it asks for media path (error2).

I don't know what these mean and how to proceed.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Hi sng,

these are the DVDs (aka "media") you used to install LabVIEW.

Provide them when the AppBuilder asks for them and your installer creation will be fine…

To expand on GerdW's suggestion, when you install the various toolkits/components with your LabVIEW installation, it doesn't include the 'redistributable' part which is what gets bundled into the installer.

The first time you create an installer that uses a component (e.g. DAQmx), it will prompt you for the location of your NI Installation Media (e.g. DVDs, network drive) so that it can copy the redistributable parts into your installer.

I believe there is an option which will 'save in local cache' so that you only have to do this the first time you include each component.

Thank you very much.

The problem is solved
