I'm also pretty sure that you can run the software on any old desktop, the NI guys said thats how they generally test it.
To run a LabVIEW executable, you need the LabVIEW runtime engine. This is the same as how you need the .NET framework to run .NET executables. The DS installer installs the runtime engine (which is part of the reason it is so big). You do not need LabVIEW installed to run the DS software.
