After the installation of my executable it doesn't appear in Windows All Programs list. I built a lot of executable and installers before but it is the first time I see this. The folder is created in the Program Files (x86) directory and the program run well when I double-click on the .exe.
This sw was initially developped with LV10 with WinXP then moved to LV2012 with Win7 64-bit and then to LV2013 and it uses a plugin architecture (I'm still not very familiar with this).
I also have these following questions:
1- I don't remember seeing so many folder created after building an exe (see attached picture "filelist.png") before moving this application to LV2013, why are all these dataX folders created? (related to the plugins?). Except for the data folder that contain my ini and xml configuration files these folders all contain a single mnu file.
2-Why are there some instrument driver folders included in the build? (Agilent, Keithley and Tek) I'm also using other equipments and they don't show up in the build. These caused issues with the build because of their VI tree VIs. I either had to check enable debugging or use the diagram disable structure on these VIs block diagram which is surely not the proper way to do this.
3- Probably the most important, what would be a good reference document on how to build an executable and an installer for a plugin architecture application.
Thanks
