Unable to Locate the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine When Deploying an Application with DSC

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>DSC Module
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Full Development System

Problem:
I created an installer for an application that uses a subset of the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) module functionality.  When I install and run this application on a computer that does not have LabVIEW installed I get an error saying Unable to Locate the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.  I have included the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in my additional installers.  Why is this happening?

      

Solution:
This error is most likely caused because the Enhanced DSC Deployment Support is not included in your installer.  Even though you have included the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, you have not included DSC support which is why the application will not run.  To add DSC support for your application, open up the properties of your installer and make sure that the NI Enhanced DSC Deployment Support box is checked in the Additional Installers.

Note: Including this support does not include the DSC Run-Time Engine.  The DSC Run-Time Engine is required if the application uses data logging, alarming, security, etc. and must be installed separately.  For more information about whether or not your application also requires the DSC Run-Time Engine refer to the related links.
