Include LLB in installer

[Kezar]

Hello

I have an application that dynamicall calls other sub-VIs.  To deploy my application, I have the Top-level application built into a EXE, and have the sub-VIs built into source distribution saved as an LLB.

Is there a way to include this LLB in the installer, or create an installer for this this LLB?

Thank you

In LabVIEW 8.5 you can do this...I just did this last night.  You can select the llb just like any other file. 

Note: you can use shift and ctrl to pick multiple *.vi's to add to your project.  SS

If I add the LLB to the project, I get a conflict with the sub VIs that are already in the project.

I ran into the same issue last night.  Check out this link which talks about cross linking and how to avoid and resolve: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6200.  SS

I'm sorry, but that link did not help me.

I believe the plugin VIs need to be in a separate project, and the built LLB to be in the main project.  However, is this the proper way to accomplish this?

I've attached a sample project to illustrate my point.

Thanks

Hi Kazer,

In the "Source Files" category of the build specification for your executable, add the plugin/subVI folder into the "Always Included" list box to build the sub-VI's into the executable. I've modified your nested project to illustrate my point.
