Trying to build an installer, without success

[labnoob]

 Hi all,

Im trying to build an installer of my LabVIEW app.

in my project view, i righ clicked on build specifications, and chose new installer. I then filled in the properties form for creating an installer.

I then asked it to build. Off it went creating the bin, license support files, nidist.id, setup.exe, and setup.ini

However, when i attempt to install it on a test PC without LabVIEW installed, It i get the following message:

“you must install labview 2010 32-bit or later on the system before you can run this setup”

I had ticked the box in the build properties for it to include the runtime, and had assumed this meant that the host PC would not need to have LabVIEW installed. Was i wrong with this assumption?

Hopping someone can assist.

Many thanks

You need to create an executable before building the installer.

Create a build specification for an application (exe) first to create an executable, then use this in the installer.

Without the exe you're creating an installer for the VIs, to run these you will need LabVIEW.
