I spent some time the other day troubleshooting a problem and couldn't for the life of me figure out why my program wasn't working. By chance, the guy who'd installed the runtime engine on the computer I was installing to had left the executable on the desktop. He had used the minimum install that's normally for remote front panels. It would be great if there was a warning when you tried to run a program that needs the full run-time install but only the minimum was installed. Most of the program worked (a suprising amount actually), but it was only certain features that didn't. The features that didn't work (like TDMS logging) wouldn't throw an error either, even with debugging enabled. If there had been a pop-up warning that the program wouldn't work completely with the current run-time engine, I would have saved a couple of hours of combined time between me and the other engineers trying to run a test.
