After Build Application, how to remove the NI directory Part?

[No_RegreTs]

Hello,

I want to remove the NI directory part of my setup application. Do you know how to do it?

This part appears when to install the application to the computer.

I don't understand. That directory is not for your application, but for any NI software that you need to install in order to run your application. Like the RunTime engine, or NI-VISA, or NI-488.2, etc. Why do you need to change this? The value that's provided is a default. As far as I know there's no option to change the default. You can simply click the Browse button to select another directory, but I don't know why you'd need to do that.

If I remove NI sotware will it be gone? I tried it didnt.

As it has been said before the directory is required for installing other NI software needed for your application.

That being said if you don't want the user to know about this you can try to just install the application silently.  This would use all the default settings for the installer, as if you just kept pressing next.  The easiest way to do this is with a batch file that just runs the installer silently, but you can also get creative and create an installer that installs your installer (a little complicated sure), but the result is a single EXE you run that installs all the software silently.  In the past I've used Inno Setup paired with ISTool.

As for the batch file method I'm not certain but I believe the command would be something like this

.\setup.exe /qb /AcceptLicenses yes /r /disableNotificationCheck /confirmCriticalWarnings

You cannot run your application without the NI software that the installer adds.  A build LabVIEW EXE needs the runtime engine to run.  This runtime engine is one of the pieces of software that gets installed.

So is this an issue because you have no additional NI software as part of your installer, and you still see it? That should not happen. Are you absolutely sure that your installer does not have any additional NI software?

Yes it has but I was just wondered if I won't use. Thank you very much I'll try batch file and the other installers you suggested.
