Installing a Package

Complete the following steps to install a package you created in LabWindows/CVI:

1. By default, LabWindows/CVI creates the installation files in a cvidistkit.ProjectName folder, which is in the same folder as the workspace file. What files get created depends on the output type of the package distribution.
2. If the output type is a Single Package, the output will be a single file representing the package. NI Package Manager must be present on the computer on which you want to install this package.
3. If the output type is a Repository, the output will consist of your package, all dependencies, all license agreements and the feed metadata file that you can import in NI Package Manager.
4. If the output type is a Package Installer, the output will be a self-contained installer consisting of your package, all dependencies, all license agreements and an NI Package Manager installer. You can execute Install.exe in order to start the installation process. This will install NI Package Manager if not already present on the computer on which you want to install your package and will then proceed to installing your package.
