how to reduce size of installer for ver 2009

I'm using LabVIEW 2009 and created an installer. The build\installer\volume\bin folder is very large, almost 1GB, and contains the folder "dp" along with "p0" through "p95". I eliminated the "p0" through "p95", so all I have in the bin folder is the "dp" folder, and it reduced the size of the bin folder to less than 2MB. I ran the installer on a PC that does not have LabVIEW and the program still works. So, what are the "p0" through "p95" for?

You should use the options on the installer and unselect the additional installers that you do not need. You actually do not need to include the runtime installer if the target machine already has that. Same thing for visa and other drivers. I typically create two versions of the installer. One for a complete install on a new machine and one that only has the application.

 

[Edit: As for the directories you are asking about, I wouldn't directly mess with them. The p probably stands for "part" but I am just guessing]
