Re: Third party dirver in distribution application

There are different ways, one that I use successfully in the past is to include the third party driver in the project, include it in your installer and use the "run after install" (I can't remember the exact name of this feature and being at home on my mac I can't check because LabVIEW mac can't build installers) option to launch the installer.

 

Other ways would require more work I think, have look here.

 

I've look a bit but I couldn't find a good (and recent) white paper about this on NI Knowledge base... can someone find a good white paper?

 

Hope this helps

Re: Third party dirver in distribution application

If you have more than one third-party driver installation, you can also write a batch file to call them, include the batch file in your project, then use "Run executable after installation" (see image below) to launch the batch file, which in turn will launch the installers for your third party applications.  You can also use the batch file to install any support files, .ini files, etc. that your application might need.
