Labview runtime libraries

[Zaven]

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.

For Labview 5.1.1 you only need the lvrte.dll in the directory of your
application or in the system directory, i.e. c:\windows\system\

Thanks for the answer. But we are using Labview 6.1,on win2000 OS and the Application builder installs a whole group of files in the c:\program files\National Instrument directory, with Shared and Datasocket subdirectories where you can find the lvrt.dll in c:\program files\National Instrument\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\6.0 directory. Also, The application builder doesn't seem to be installing any lvrte.dll file.

(NOTE: I'm using the installation of the labview runtime with the application builder in order to see what are the files and registries that are modified/added and then try to replicate that without the application builder, but it seems a bit complicated, there's a whole hierarchy of files installed and many registries modified/added)

Sorry, I also ment the lvrt.dll. But doesn't your application work only with
the lvrt.dll in the application or system directory (and the data socket
files, if your application needs datasocket)?

I found the webpage that supports Niko's knowlegable answer. I attached it below if anyone is interested.

Is that really true for LabVIEW 6 ? ... That's when the models & script
subdirectories appeared... and you definitely need the other dll's and the
serpdrv, too... and recently I found that you need the nicont dll's if you
want to use Active X containers...
