building distribution question in cvi 8.0

[ElbaTech]

Hello,
I am experiencing a problem when trying to build a distribution kit under LabWindows CVI 8.0. My goal is to get the lower possible dimension of that kit.
I have read the help topic at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5C44A7F7B2A67703862570F800107B99 which states: ..."if you only want to distribute the standard CVI runtime engine including the Analysis Library, you can deselect all but the Standard Run-Time item under LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine on the Drivers & Components tab of the Distribution Kit dialog....".
I am trying this option with an "Hello World"-like program and the problem is the following:
1) if I deselect all but Standard Run-Time item, the istallation of the program is successfull but trying to run the application causes the error "unable to locate the entry point of cvirte.dll" (or something like that, I am translating from my italian version)
2) if I leave selected all items then everything works fine and the program runs correctly but I did not solve the issue of getting a lower dimension distribution kit.

Please notice that "checking the dependencies" in case 2 on the Drivers & Components tab of the Distribution Kit dialog returns no errors, while doing the same in case 1 highlights that module cvirte.msm is missed.

What am I missing ?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hello Marco,

This is a bug that exists on some non-English operating systems.  We will be providing a proper fix for this bug in the near future, but for now, there is a temporary workaround.  In effect, you must un-localize your "Common Files\Merge Modules" directory.  First create the path "Common Files\Merge Modules" under your Program Files ("Lime Di Programma"?) directory.  Then copy all the files from the localized version of this directory to the English one you just created.  Now when you build your distribution, it should be able to find the merge modules without a problem.  Sorry again for the inconvenience.

I hope this is clear.
