Hello all.
I need to deploy an application that uses an USB DAQ device.
The customers are not NI/LabView savvy, so NIDAQmx installation must be pre-defined and "silent", i.e., requiring no user interaction at all (I have already created a specfile for that).
Now the questions:
1)when creating the application installer in the project, how do I specify to install NIDAQmx with a specfile and other options?
2)can NIDAQmx be installed by a computer user without admin previleges(I am deploying version 8.9.5) ?
Thanks.

I have no idea what you're talking about... so:

No, because DAQmx includes device drivers, you must have administrator privileges to install it. Little bit of a hassle sometimes, but it makes perfect sense.2)can NIDAQmx be installed by a computer user without admin previleges(I am deploying version 8.9.5) ?
Have you read this article about automating installations?

I don't believe that's possible with the install build specification. You may need a third party installer to do this.1)when creating the application installer in the project, how do I specify to install NIDAQmx with a specfile and other options?
abso beat me to it... drivers require additional privileges.2)can NIDAQmx be installed by a computer user without admin previleges(I am deploying version 8.9.5) ?
