Wow guys, thanks for two blatent insults. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all.
A little further explaination:
Supporting and maintaining Windows 2000 in 2014, I agree, is cumbersome. However, you have to realize these oscilloscopes that run Windows 2000 in 2014 still cost upwards of $8,000 to replace and the operating system cannot be upgraded. Why do they still cost so much? Because they are very useful tools. And new ones cost $20,000 to $30,000. I don't think that this effort is "los[ing] [the company's] ability to make a profit".
For those of you that are interested in the orignal question posted here is my solution.
I used SFX Builder (http://sourceforge.net/projects/s-zipsfxbuilder/) to bundle NI's software into a single executeable file. Heres the steps:
1) Download all necessary NI software
2) Download SFX Builder
3) Download 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/)
1) Extract all NI software into a single folder and use 7-zip to compress into a .7z archive
2) Open SFX Builder and add the .7z archive to the File tab
3) You can easily set the path of extraction to anywhere on the computer, the temp (%temp%) is the most useful
4) On the Tasks tab click the add/plus button and select Run Program, then enter the path where the extraction happened, here is an example
5) Easy peasy!
