Labview Installer add .Net .dll files

[pana]

I build a LabView 7.1 installer for an application named "35pcscope". I add a few .Net .dll files in this installer. All those .dll files are installed in

"Install Directory". After run this installer to install this application at "C:\Program Files\35pcscope" folder.  I run this "35pcscope" program

by click on Start Menu\Program\35pcscope\35pcscope.exe,  an error message pop up " some dll files could not find".

But if I click on C:\Program Files\35pcscope\35pcscope.exe, the program runs fine with any error message. I try Both Window 2000/sp3

and Window Xp/sp2, and they have same result.

How could I solve this problem.

Thank you for your help.

Sounds like your working directory is not set correctly. Look at your shortcut in the start menu and see if the "Start In" value is set to C:\Program Files\35pcscope.

Hi, Brian

Thank you very much for your reply.

You are right that  "Start In" value  of  is not set to C:\Program Files\35pcscope, but empty string.

When I manually changed its value to "C:\Program Files\35pcscope", the shortcut will work fine.

But I need to know how to set the shortcut "Start In" value  correctly in the Labview Installer, since

I need to distribute it to customers, and it is not acceptable to ask customer to change the shortcut

"Start In" value manually.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

One way i can think of fixing this parameter of shortcut is writing a VBScript and batch file. The batch file will be scheduled to run after the installation (through "Run Executable after installation") launching the VBScript to fix the shortcut's WorkingDirectory parameter.

Hi, Abdullah,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you have an example code to set shortcut's WorkingDirectory parameter in a VBScript or batch file?

Thanks,
