Monitor Files installed in system by installer

[FraggerFox]

Hi all,

I  have one installer of my application built through LabVIEW. I need to monitor the files like *.dll and other files which are installed on the system.

Can we get a list of files installed by the installer on the system for monitoring purposes?

Thanks.

Could anyone please let me know if this is possible in LabVIEW built Installer?

Thanks

Hey Parag,

I'm not sure if this is exaclty what you are looking for, but you could try Process Monitor. Its a utility by Microsoft which provides a lot of info about the programs running on

your PC. Maybe you will be able to get the details from there.

WellWell, Its like I need to see exactly which files are going where during installation. This feature is available in many installers showing path of files being installed (for eg. Winamp setup).

Is there any other option available except process monitor? Process Monitor would just show the presently running background processes.

I think I understood your query correctly.

It is not possible with the labVIEw installer. You need to write it of your own using Install Shield package or something like that...

Hi Partha,

Can you please explain how to create a InstallShield package for LabVIEW Applications?

Hi Parag,

Well, I believe that LabVIEW Application Installer cannot be created through Installshield. Pls correct me if I am wrong

I am quite sure that Labview installer is based on Microsoft Installer (MSI)
