Install USB Driver on startup

[Sman29]

Hello,

I am using LabVIEW 2013 to control a RMS R356 Controller (Lin Engineering). I am communicating via USB and VISA Serial protocol. However, this device requires a Serial to USB485 driver to be installed manually on any new PC before being able to use it. I was wondering, is there a way to somehow link this driver setup into my LV code and have it install automatically whenever the program is first started up on a new computer? Attached is my code.

Thanks for any help!

If you have a project setup for this application (as you should), you'll have the ability to create an installer.  This will allow you to specify additional installers for drivers.

Project setup meaning running this in a Project? I do have that. Where would I go to create an installer?

Thanks,

Right click Build Specifications -> New -> Installer.

Edit: I believe this is only available in Professional edition (not Student or Home).

Ok yeah, I must not have the Professional Edition, because when I click Build Specs-->New the only thing that pops up is "Source Distribution"... Is there any other options or am I just out of luck?

Thanks for the help,
