pilou Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 For legacy reasons all our software has to be installed in the main root drive under a new folder. It is easy to set this folder for the build executable but not for the NI Additional Installers (i.e. NI LabVIEW Runtime Engine). Is there a way to configure the default path for those extra installers from the Application Builder itself or from any LabVIEW configuration ? Quote
LogMAN Posted September 1, 2020 Report Posted September 1, 2020 Welcome to LAVA! You can customize the installer with a spec file. If I remember correctly that also allows you to specify the installation directory. Here is a KB article for how to create the spec file (scroll down to "customizing installation"): https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019Ld6SAE&l=en-US 1 Quote
pilou Posted September 2, 2020 Author Report Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks for the reply LogMAN ! I go through the KB but I don't want to silent the installation. I need to set the default National Instruments product proposed as additional installers in Application Builder to a custom path as it is shown in red on the attached picture (i.e. C:/<custom Folder> vs C:/Program Files/National Instruments). Any help appreciated. Quote
LogMAN Posted September 4, 2020 Report Posted September 4, 2020 You don't have to do a silent installation. If you follow the instructions, it will create a .spec file that you can customize (it's just a text file), so that it behaves like the standard installer but with different default values. It will only do a silent installation when you use the "/q" option. Omit that flag to do a regular installation. Quote
