Installer from exes built in multiple versions?

[ToeCutter]

I have an application which includes several executables from which an installer is built in LabVIEW. The executables have all been built in the same version of LabVIEW, but now I need (for reasons I won't go into) to build an installer from exes built in different versions of LabVIEW. Anyone tried this? I presume I can just compile in the respective versions, paste the exes into the expected locations and run the installer build spec?

You can include any files you want in an installer (so you can include the output of another build from another project), but remember you'll also need to make sure the correct version of the LabVIEW Run-time is installed for each one. If you're not including the runtime in your installer then this isn't a problem but something to bear in mind.

You can also include other installers in your installer I believe as well - you could have an installer for each LV version that includes those applications and the appropriate LVRT and then another installer which includes those.

It can get complicated but you should be able to get it working.

Many thanks, Sam. That's everything I need to know.
