Problems building a stand alone application with LV 8.6.1.

I'm having problems building  a stand alone application with LV8.6.1. I'm using a USB- 6008 DAQ and USB-6501 Digital device in the application. I already have an simple executable on the machine so the Run time Engine is already installed.  For the USB DAQ device, I assume I need to include the DAQmx8.8 as one of the installers. When I attempt to build the application, I'm prompted for several disk, one being a distribuition disk 1. I have the installation disk for the developer package. I did not  see a distribuiton disk as one of the installation disks. When I insert disk 1 I get an error that another application is trying to run. Could someone tell me which installers I need to include and where do I find the "distributor" disk.

 

Thank you,

are you building installer for the first time on this PC?...It usually asks for the drivers CDs and some toolkits if required.

 

you just need to use drivers CDs (comes with LabVIEW) from which you installed on this PC. If you have ever upgraded drivers, then you have to use the latest CDs only.......

 

another issue may be ...when u insert the driver disk, it has autorun, it will launch drivers installation wizard....close that and then try to build distribution.........

Anil,

 

I installed the drivers from the Developer Suite on the PC before I shipped it. The machine is able to run  2 smaller executables successfully but neither one of these require the USB Devices. Those executables are just using serial ports to control a couple of power supplies while communicating with the UUT.
