- Developing and Distributing LabVIEW Build Outputs
You can create a build output from a LabVIEW project so other users can put your code to use on other computers and from other programming languages.

- Additional NI Installers for Installer Builds
By default, LabVIEW automatically adds installers for the NI products that you installed on the computer you are using. You can instead manually define the other installers to include with an installer build specification.
- Installing LabVIEW-Built Installers Silently
You can use the command line window to install LabVIEW-built installers silently—without user interaction or displaying progress.
- Uninstalling LabVIEW-Built Installers
You can uninstall LabVIEW-built installers from a computer either with the command line window or the Programs applet in the Control Panel. These approaches differ in what they uninstall.
- Using the LabVIEW Runtime when Distributing Build Outputs
You must install the LabVIEW Runtime on any computer on which you want to run any type of LabVIEW build output. Design VIs for build outputs with behaviors of the LabVIEW Runtime in mind, and understand how to deploy the LabVIEW Runtime to support your build outputs on end user systems.
