Click the Options button in the Output VIs to Packed Project Library section of the LabVIEW VI Options dialog box to launch the Packed Project Library Options dialog box, in which you can configure options for how the TestStand Deployment Utility builds LabVIEW packed project libraries.

The Packed Project Library Options dialog box contains the following options:

• Base Library Name —The base name the deployment utility uses for packed project library files. LabVIEW cannot load two packed project libraries with the same name at the same time. The deployment utility modifies the base library name to ensure that each packed project library file has a unique filename. If the deployment utility builds packed project libraries to multiple installation destinations , the deployment utility appends a unique number to each filename after building the first file. If you build a packed project library for VIs called in the context of a LabVIEW project, the deployment utility adds the project name to the base library name.
• Version from Installer —When you enable this option, the deployment utility uses the version of the installer you specify in the Advanced Installer Options dialog box to specify the version of the packed project libraries. If you do not enable this option, you must manually specify the version number of the packed project libraries.
• Version Number —Manually specify a version number of the packed project libraries. The version number contains the following components:
  • Major —The major revision number.
  • Minor —The minor revision number.
  • Fix —A revision number to correct existing issues.
  • Build —The specific build number.
    • Auto Increment —Enable this option to specify that the deployment utility automatically increments the build number each time you build.
• Properties —Packed project libraries contain the following internal properties you can view by right-clicking a packed project library file in Microsoft Windows Explorer and selecting Properties from the context menu:
  • Product Name —The name you want to display to users.
  • Legal Copyright —The copyright statement you want to display to users.
  • Company Name —The company name you want to display to users.
  • Internal Name —A name intended for only internal use.
  • Description —Information you want to provide to users about the packed project library file.
• Packed Library Source Options —Contains the following options:
  • Include Source for Rebuilding Packed Project Libraries —When you enable this option, the deployment utility includes a copy of the source files and LabVIEW project files required to rebuild the packed project libraries the deployment utility creates during the build.
    • Source Destination —The base directory in which the deployment utility places packed project library source files. The list of source destinations is the same as the list of installation destinations in the Installation Destination ring control on the Distributed Files tab.
      Note When you select TestStand Directory, the installer installs files into the directory for the version of TestStand that created the installer.
    • Source Destination Subdirectory —A subdirectory, under the default installation base directory, in which the deployment utility places packed project library source files.
