It would be great to have a save for previous option in the source distribution build spec.
I have an API distribution that is written in 2011 and I have customers as far back as 8.5 which I would assume is a common occurrence (not everyone has SSP). The main reason I would like it in the build spec is that then I could include the output in an install that includes more then just the API distribution (I have an ActiveX EXE that is called by the Thin API distribution). Since the API and EXE must match up by version it is nice to distribute them together. It is also nice to have them all in the same version of LabVIEW during development as some of the type defs must be the same.
Currently I use a post build callback workaround involving building a temporary project and using keyboard emulation to save that project for previous version...nasty! You could try to save everything using a post callback and VI server, but the complexity of making sure everything is linked wouldn’t be fun…That’s what the build spec is for!
