Must NI-DAQmx Configuration Support be included in Application Installer?

[prenaut41]

Hello.

I am using LabVIEW 2012 sp1 with Application Builder and am building an application installer.  I have included the LabVIEW run time engine, DAQmx run time engine, and device driver for the USB-6009 that I am using.  If I'm including the device driver and am only using this one device (i.e., not changing devices programatically), do I still need to include NI-DAQmx Configuration Support under the "Additional Installers" page of the Installer Properties Dialog Box?  The description says that this "Contains NI-DAQmx drivers and support for configuring NI hardware via the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)", so I'm thinking I don't need it on the target machines on which my application will be installed if I alread have the hardware identified and driver installed.  

I'm trying to scale back the file size of the resulting application installer. 

Thanks,

Paul

As long as your device will be the default device name (Dev1) in every instance the software will use, you should be fine.  If you use a specific configuration other than the default that you set up in MAX, you will want to add MAX to the installer as well as the MAX configuration for that device.
