DSC Runtime Installation with "Run executable at end of installation"

Hi.

 

I'm trying to automate the installation of the LabVIEW DSC runtime system (unfortunately I'm working in LV 8.2.1 for this app).  Installation via the "Additional Installers" feature does not seem to be available for the DSC RTS.  I've included the DSC runtime CD contents with the installer and I've configured it to install silently using the "Run executable at end of installation" feature.  When this runs, I get an error with title "NI LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module - RTS" as follows:

 

Error: Another installer or uninstaller is running.

Finish that installer or uninstaller and try again.

 

I take this to mean that the DSC runtime engine cannot be installed in this way because the LabVIEW application installer is still running at the time.

 

Is this assessment accurate?

 

If I can't install the DSC RTS automatically via "Run executable at end of installation", can anyone suggest a solid method for installing this automatically?  My customer wants to avoid a 2-step installation procedure if they can.

 

Thanks in advance.

Strange, DSC should be there. Anyway, the problem seems to be caused by calling NI installer from another NI installer. First suggestion - use third party installer such as Inno Setup for doing installation (theoretically you can pack both installers into single container, then call both from Inno Setup). Or just create cmd file.

Good suggestion Andrey. I just created a batch file to handle all of the installations.
