LabWindows/CVI Programmer Reference Manual

National Instruments recommends that your installation program modify

cvi.ini

.cvi.ini

, or the Registry, automatically. Under Windows 3.1, the

modini

program is in the

LabWindows/CVI

bin

subdirectory for this purpose. A documentation file called

modini.doc

and the source code are in the same directory.

Under Windows 95/NT, the

modreg

program is in the LabWindows/CVI

bin

subdirectory

for this purpose. A documentation file called

modreg.doc

and the source code are in the

same directory.

Assume that you install two

.fp

files in the following locations:

c:\newlib\liba.fp

c:\genlib\libb.fp

liba

depends on

libb

, you must add the following path to the user’s Instrument

Directories list:

c:\genlib

For LabWindows/CVI to be able to find the dependent file under Windows 3.1 and UNIX,
your

modini

command file must be,

add InstrumentDirectories InstrDir "c:\genlib"

After the user installs the library files, the

modini

program must be run on the user’s disk

using

cvi.ini

and the command file.

For LabWindows/CVI to be able to find the dependent file under Windows 95/NT, your

modreg

command file must be,

setkey [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments]

appendkey CVI\@latestVersion

add InstrumentDirectories InstrDir "c:\gewlib"

After the user installs the library files, the

modreg

program must be run on the user’s disk

using the command file.

Caution

LabWindows/CVI must not be running when you use the

modini

modreg

program to modify

cvi.ini

or the Registry. If LabWindows/CVI is running while

you use these programs, you will lose your changes.
