Labview Application Builder Error with DAQ

[LarkinM]

Hello, I have made a labview program that reads analog voltages from a DAQ and then displays them onto a graph while writing them to an excel file. 

When I use the application builder to make the program it works on my computer. 

When I use the application builder along with the installer it does not read the daq. 

Windows sees the daq and the program runs without any errors. 

Is there a problem with the installer or is with how I made the exe? 

I've tried making different installers as well as different exes but have had the same issue.

Well, did you include all the required drivers in the installer?

What is "a DAQ"? Is this a NI product or some third party device? Can you be more specific?

How does windows "see" it? Some tool shipping with the DAQ? Using the webcam?

What kind of differences did you try?

[LarkinM]

I am using the NI USB-6218 daq. 

When I said windows "sees" it. I'm referring to device manager sees it as the daq. 

The differences I tried are enabling debugging, trying to install different daq runtimes. A few more things that I can't remember right now also.

I also have this information when trying to run it on another machine.

Did you include the hardware configuration? (see also)

[LarkinM]

Yes , I have included the hard ware configuration but it has the same problem.

I put a trial of labview on the second machine and it seems to not be saving my custom scale. 

I'll rewrite my code to not need it and hopefully that will fix it.
