Don't want to distribute runtime engine or distribution kit

Generally I don't create distribution kit but I just email .exe, .uir and .dll(my project spesific dlls) files to my customer. CVI runtime engine size is so big that I don't want to include runtime engine files and their PCs are not on internet so they can not download runtime engine.
I am looking for a list of all CVI dll files (Like cvirte.dll) which I can just copy to my project dir and then send that whole dir and all they need to do is click on exe file without worrying about installing runtime engine..
 
other words, what do I need to do so that my customer can run my cvi program without installing any runtime or distribution kit?
Can it be done?

Hi Sheetal,

You will need the CVI Run-time Engine installed.

I too am in this predicament.  I don't want to force my customer to re-download the entire 195MB (!) dist kit package just for a few minor changes to my EXE.

 

Is there a way to create a CVI runtime distribution alone? Then I could send them my EXE separately.

You don't need to include the RTE in your distribution, just uncheck it from the drivers and components tab:

Make sure your application is built to target the shared RTE, and it should work with any later version downloaded from our website. LabWindows™/CVI™ 2017 Runtime

Also if you need to distribute only updated files and drivers you can create a patch distribution
