Problem: I am building a distribution kit in LabWindows/CVI for a program that uses the SQL toolkit. When I install my program on the target machine, everything but the SQL functions work fine. What do I need to do to include the SQL toolkit in my distribution kit?
Solution:
- Open the CVI workspace for your project
- Click on Build » Distributions » Edit <Name of Distribution>
- Click on the Files tab
- In the Local Files & Directories box, browse to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI85\sql20\distsupp
- Click on the Add Contents button. This will create a folder named distsupp in the Installation Files & Directories box below with all of the contents of the distsupp folder included
- Select the newly created distsupp folder
- Right click on Distsupp.exe and select DistSupp.exe Options...
- Click the checkbox next to Lauch After Installation and type install in the Cmd Line Args box. Select Launch and wait for completion as the Launch style
- Right click in the empty area in the Installation Files & Directories box and select All Installation Locations » [System]. The [System] folder will now appear
- In the Local Files & Directories box at the top of the window, browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
- Select the file named cvidb32.dll in the box at the top right and click Add File. This should put the cvidb32.dll file in the [System] folder
- Build the distribution. When you install the distribution on the target machine, it will install all of the needed SQL toolkit files at the end of the installation process
