Labview runtime libraries (Labview 6.1)

I would like to install a labview program with another installer program, instead of using the Application Builder. I need to know what are the runtime files and registry settings that I have to distribute with my application.

I've always just copied the contents of the Program Files\National
Instruments\shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\6.0 directory... i.e. \models, \script,
the 4 dll's and the serpdrv... into the directory with my application.

However, recently I found that I also needed the 2 dll's at the Program
Files\National Instruments\shared directory... i.e. nicont.dll &
nicontdt.dll... in order to use an Active X container w/ Web Browser
component within my application.

I have never created any registry settings! IMHO...If used properly, the
Microsoft registry is only supposed to contain product registration and
location information, so that the un-install programs or update programs
know where to find things. Configuration information should also be stored
in an application spec
ific ini file, right?

Bill

p.s. I've never been able to find documentation supporting my technique...
but, it works!

If you have an exe, all you need do is install the LabVIEW run time engine. You can download an installer for it from the web. You might also be interested in the following link that discusses additional files needed with certain VIs.
