This functionality is not natively built into LabVIEW so to achieve this you must create a "dummy" configuration file, then replace it with the desired configuration file and build the installer. To do so:
- Right-click on your LabVIEW Installer in the Build Specifications and select Properties
- Select the Hardware Configuration category
- Check the Include hardware configuration from MAX checkbox
- Click the Configure... button to launch the Configuration Export Wizard
- Pres the ... button next to the Export to file field to give the file a unique name and location
- Once you have selected the file name, click Next >
- Select any device to export
- It does not matter what is selected, because we are just creating a dummy file at this point
- Click Export >
- Click Finish
- Open the folder where your configuration file was created. Make a note of the file name and delete the file.
- Move the desired configuration file to this folder and rename it to match the name of the dummy configuration file
- Build your installer, and the pre-existing configuration file will now be added to the installer
