Hi John,
Unfortunately the deployment utility doesn't currently allow for any
customization as to where the support VIs are located in the image.
When the deployment utility creates the image, it moves all of the
files associated with your workspace to one centralized location,
relinking all of the VIs to this spot in the process. That way you can
just grab the image and move it from development to test machine
without needing to worry about the file paths being present on your
test machine.
One thing to note - if you modify a VI on your development machine and
want to put it out on the test machine, you should create a new
deployment to do this. Since the original VIs have been relinked
internally, copying the original files directly to the test machine
could result in broken test sequences.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Let us know if you have any more questions.
