Labview 8.0 and lvanlys.dll

[murali_vml]

I had an application developed on Labview 8.0 and has the main file of it as llb and included it as project as well.

I have 2 questions

1.How to create an installer using Labview 8.0 project window.?(i was able to creat exe,but when i create installer and install it in another pc which doesn't have any NI software,i'm not able to get the exe of the software.i'm not sure what im doing wrong?,Its able to show runtime engine 8.0.1 i guess)

2.My second is,My application requires lvanlys.dll.I had put the exe of the software in new pc and copied the lvanlys.dll file manually to that PC and when i try to run the executable,it shows "Generic Error:lvanlys.dll is not a valid labview file".Is this file dependant on labview version also?because i found in that PC,i have runtime engine of 7.1.1.But i had copied this dll (from resource folder)from a pc which has Labview 8.0 installed.

Is this a mismatch?

Kindly provide help on the above 2 queries.

Thanks

1) To create installer in LabVIEW You have to right click Build Specification Select New and then Installer. A new window pops up ,select the way you you want installer to be made .Include the main VI in Source Files and in Additional Installers select LabVIEW RunTime Engine 8.0 (or the same LabVIEW Version in which you are creating the installer). After this click on Build and the installer will be made.

2) Better provide lvanlys.dll of the same version. Or insatall DAQ drivers(or device drivers) corresponding to  the LabVIEW in which the installer was made.  For 8.0 you can install any drivers after NI DAQ 8.0 on the system you are running the exe.Or youcan include NI DAQ in Additional Installers whilecreating the installer.
