Deploying the Visual Basic application on client machine

[PS2008]

I have developed my application in Visual Basic 6.0 and reading data from the NI USB 6501 device. I have installed the NI-DAQmx full software on my development system. Now I want to deploy this application on another machine that does not have Visual Studio and does not have NI-DAQmx software installed on it. I do not want to install the complete NI-DAQmx software on the deployment machine. What is the minimum installation requirement on the deployment machine.
 
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
 
To deploy your application on another machine you need to create a ".exe" file for the application in VB and install the DAQmx driver. Since you are asking for the minimum installation, you don't have to download the full version of DAQmx, the NI-DAQmx Base version should work on your case.
You can download the DAQmx base at the following link : <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/971/lang/en" target="_blank">http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/971/lang/en</a>

DAQmx Base is not at all the same thing as a minimum installation of DAQmx.
At teh bottom of the <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/965/lang/en" target="_blank">latest</a> version, is links to different run-times. Run-time 5 is the smallest.
