Sam, thanks for the help. I am still getting some "Find the VI named xyz" dialog prompts. I presume because there are VIs (AI I/O) that I need that were not included in the build. Please advise, thanks.
In the dialog to setup the source distribution, there are a couple check boxes to include or exclude some of the standard LabVIEW VIs.
In the Distribution Settings section, you'll see three check boxes named "Exclude vi.lib", "Exclude user.lib" and "Exclude instr.lib". Having the "vi.lib" box checked will will exclude all the VIs that ship with LabVIEW or get installed with a driver package or add on module. This includes the DAQ VIs which sounds like what you are missing.
However, just unchecking this box probably will not make the application run. The actual DAQ driver needs to be installed on the other machine. Once you get all the correct drivers installed, you should not need to include the "vi.lib" VIs. This is the normal way to distribute code.
The "user.lib" is the directory under LabVIEW where you normally keep all your re-usable VIs. This you'd probably want to include in the distribution unless you have all the same user.lib files on both machines. "instr.lib" is where LabVIEW keeps the instrument drivers you download.
So in short, make sure you have all the same drivers installed on both machines and download any instrument drivers you're using. Then just leave the "Exclude user.lib" box unchecked.
