Chapter 7 Creating and Distributing Standalone Executables and DLLs

LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine under Windows 95/NT
Table 7-1 shows the files that comprise the LabWindows/CVI Run-time Engine for
Windows 95/NT.
These files come on a separate diskette, or in a separate directory in the CD-ROM. The
LabWindows/CVI installation program installs the files along with the development
environment. The Create Distribution Kit command in the Build menu of the Project
window can bundle the Run-time Engine DLLs and drivers into your distribution kit. Also,
you can make copies of this diskette, or the CD-ROM directory, for separate distribution.
Run-Time Library DLLs
The installation program always places the Run-time Engine DLLs in the Windows system
directory under Windows 95 and the Windows
system32 directory under Windows NT.
Low-Level Support Driver
The Run-time Engine loads the low-level support driver if it is present when you start your
standalone executable. Several functions in the Utility Library require the low-level
support driver. Refer to the function reference for
CVILowLevelSupportDriverLoaded in
Chapter 8, Utility Library, of the LabWindows/CVI Standard Libraries Reference Manual for
more information on these functions.
The installation program installs the low-level support driver in the Windows
system
directory under Windows 95 and the Windows
system32\drivers directory under
Table 7-1.
