If you build a stand-alone application or a shared library with Windows, consider building an installer when distributing your builds. If you build an installer, you can include any components users will need to run your application. For example, include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine if you will be running your application on a computer that does not have the LabVIEW Development System installed.
