Any way to NOT install all those services that come with LV RTE?

[josborne]

OK, here comes another question (aka complaint) about the bloated LV RTE:

I have a relatively simple LV2020 application which I have built into an EXE and packaged into an installer using the Application Builder.  It works great!  I have tried to minimize the size of the installer by including only what is absolutely needed.  After installing on a fresh Windows machine, I notice these 8 services that get installed by the RTE:

Based on the service descriptions, I suspect I don't need at least 5 of these. Though I wouldn't be surprises if there are some hidden dependcies somewhere.  Anyway, my big question is:  Is there any way to NOT install these services?

Eight NI Services is (in my experience) a small number (granted, I'm thinking about the 20+ services on my Development PC).  Before you worry about getting rid of one or more of them, you can go to the PC where you installed them and try turning one of the Services off and see if your Executable still works properly.  Be sure you test any DAQ and/or File I/O and/or Networking that your Executable needs.
