how can I avoid the inclusion of the kernel32.dll in the installer?

[M_Kunze]

Dear Members

Does anyone know how to prevent the inclusion of the Kernel32.dll in the Installer?

The problem is that I am using WINAPI calls. Doning so forces the installer to include

this DLL into the project. This file will copied into the installer package and reside

inside of the program folder after installation.

I have programed the project with LV 8.5 Windows XP and compiled it for 2000 or later.

The same happens if I do so for XP or later.

Is there a way to avoid this binding?

Kind regards

Just for historical purposes, there are two very good workaround:

Enter only the library name if the library is in the search path of the system.  See the Call Library Function Dialog Box Help.

Use Specify path on diagram for the Call Library Function Node, and enter the system dll's path in a constant.
