cvi runtime detection

Hi.

 

I´m currently developping an installshield 2012 setup program of an application which has been developped with National Instruments cvi 8.5. In order to improve customers experience while installing this application, I´d like to be able to detect first of all if the required cvi runtime 2012 already exists on the target system (if so, this installation step should be avoided, otherwise the installation setup should conduct users to install cvi runtime as appropiate), which exactly windows registry key or something else should be checked to do this. According to this, I´d like to know what exactly merge modules must be included into the installshield setup package, regarding of cvi runtime 2012 version.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi JoseManuelNieves,

 

To address the first part of the message, CVI Run-Time Engine is located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > National Instruments > CVI Run-Time Engine.

 

Hope that helps!

Exactly, I can see an string entry named "VersionYear" with the value 2012, it could be used as a reference for my purpose.

 

Thank you very much for your help.
