cross platform builds?

[mzimmers]

I'm running on Windows 7, but need to build a version of the app for XP. Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks.

If both applications are 32 bit there should be no difference, otherwise you would need to compile and build one 32 and one 64 bit release.

OK, well for whatever reason, I'm getting a message that says:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005)"

If it's not a build issue, what might it be?

I guess you will need to provide some additional information... Are you using the CVI distribution kit? What happens if you run the program in debug mode?

[mzimmers]

Last night, I tried using the distribution manager within CVI, and got a message saying that because I'm an evaluation customer, it wasn't available.

I re-installed CVI 2012 (for a different reason), and now it seems to work. So I created a distribution, but it's just a directory with a lot of files. Is there a way to bundle these into a single, self-extracting file?

EDIT: I found a .msi file in a subdirectory. It appears to depend upon a large Distfile.cab. So...how should I plan on distributing this? In other words, how much of the folder cvidistkit.app_name should I be zipping up and sending to people?

everything...

OK, will do. Makes for a distressingly large package, though. About 30 MB unzipped.

Thanks for the answer.
