Is there a way to combine NI-VISA 2.5 in executables?

[Gary :)]

My program will build and compile correctly, but when I install my program it is mandatory that VISA 2.5 is installed to allow serial communication.

Gary,

I would suggest one of two options: Either include the VISA installation with your distribution, or don't use VISA. You can automate the VISA installation, but I suspect this may not work for you.

I would suggest then that you return to the old serial port methods. They are fairly easy to use. They are a bit hard to find though. Dig around, you should be able to find them (National Instruments/LabVIEW 6/vi.lib/utility/sersup.llb ?)

Good luck

Gary,

If you are using VISA just for serial communication, you could always
re-write your VIs to use straight serial communication calls and eliminate
VISA VIs (and thus eliminate the need for the installation of VISA 2.5).
