Application builder e run time

To distribute my software created by application builder , I use "set up generator" program because I can use special colors, pictures and so on. Instead to run lvruntimeeng.msi (30Mb)separately, can I use only specific files (dll or something like that) ?

gubi,
installing the Runtime Engine on the target machine is the suggested procedure to make your LabVIEW Applications work correctly, and, most important, it is the only procedure supported by National Instruments.
Technically speaking, there is a chance that your application would work only by copying the DLLs that are stored on your development system under
Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\X.X
to an identical path in your target machine.
Again, this is not a supported procedure since copying DLLs may let your application start and work, but in front of any unexpected behaviour (e.g. errors, controls missing etc.) you will be on your own.

Hello,
Did you try the builtin SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME built-in function ?
Example
function AfterPForm return boolean is
my_var varchar2(80);
BEGIN
SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME(my_var);
SRW.MESSAGE(0,'Report Filename = '||my_var);
RETURN (TRUE);
END;

LabVIEW 2011SP1 Error building installer: LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2013 is missing 3 dependencies???

I'm having a problem building an installer in LabVIEW 2011SP1.
It's been a while since I've tried to build an installer but it used to work fine and building executables is still working fine.
Now when I try to build the installer I get "The build was unsuccessful."
Possible reasons: Error generating preview for My Application 3.1.7.

The really strange thing about this is that I'm using LabVIEW 2011SP1, I don't even have LabVIEW 2013 installed, not even the runtime.
Where is the problem? Why is it even complaining about LabVIEW 2013? Has anyone seen this before?

I do have the LabVIEW 2013 discs but didn't install it.
I checked in Control Panel > Programs and Features > National Instruments Software and the LabVIEW 2013 Run-Time is not listed there.
I also checked in MAX > Software and I must have missed it the first time I looked. LabVIEW Run-Time 2013 is listed there after all.
Now I remember installing VISA 5.4 to get rid of a nasty bug. It must have installed the 2013 Run-Time when I did that.
So now I need to distribute 2 runtimes with my application?!?!

If an application includes ActiveX references from Excel, should MS Office be installed on the run-time PC?

There are many threads regarding usage of MS office with LV, but I was not able to find the answer to the following question. I hope somebody can help or point me to a useful thread.
I have an excel template file and would like to create new reports each time from it. There are a couple of solutions for this problem which are fine. But, at the end, I am going to build an application and install it on an industrial PC which does not have MS office installed. The question is if the application works on the target machine as well.
I am specifically pointing to the solution in here which uses ActiveX reference to Excel._Application. Any chance that this solution or any similar one works on my target PC?
If you wonder why I want excel reports on a machine that does not have MS Office, I should say that the reports are just stored somewhere on the disk to be transferred later to headquarters let say!
Developing machine: Win7, LV8.6 Pro + Report generation toolkit
Target machine: WinXP SP3, LV run-time engine
Thanks in advance!

You need to have Office installed on the computer that is running the LabVIEW application. It is the Office applications that provide ActiveX functionality to the Report Generation Toolkit. Without them, LabVIEW has nothing to interface to.

How to build sql query for view object at run time

Hi,
I have a LOV on my form that is created from a view object.
View object is read-only and is created from a SQL query.
SQL query consists of few input parameters and table joins.
My scenario is such that if input parameters are passed, i have to join extra tables, otherwise, only one table can fetch the results I need.
Can anyone please suggest, how I can solve this? I want to build the query for view object at run time based on the values passed to input parameters.
Thanks
Srikanth Addanki

As I understand you want to change the query at run time.
If this is what you want, you can use setQuery Method then use executeQuery.

Building an Application in Windows to be used in Linux (with the Run-Time Engine)

Hi All,
I have an LabVIEW project I have developed in a Windows environment. I can create an Application (.exe) using the Build Specification -> Application Builder which works fine on the development platform.
I now want to distribute the application to a Linux Environment. The OS is openSUSE v10.3 (with GNOME). I have downloaded the two rpm files needed for the run-time engine and installed them, as per here:http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/97E14BA3E0C14A89862572C300567733?opendocument&node=13207...
Now, the question is; how do I create an Application in Windows which can be used on the Linux Box? According to the Application Builder instructions, it's simply a case of removing the .exe extension in the Target File Name options, however, this gives an error "Invalid Extension."
If I do create an exe and manually remove the extention is doesn't work on the Linux enviroment (typing ./application).
Has anyone had experiance of this?
Many Thanks for Any Help,
Oliver

LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 8.2.1 for Linux

The cross-platform nature of LabVIEW refers more to the code than to the executable.
LV (given the appropriate development version) can compile the same source code into a Windows (using LV for Windows), Linux (using LV for Linux) or Mac (using LV for Mac) program.
This means you will still have three versions of your program, one for each platform.
If you want to distribute VIs (without block diagrams), you will also need different versions of these as without the block diagram, they cannot be re-compiled for a new platform.

I have trouble in building stand-alone application, "you must intall Labview run-time engine on any computer on which you want to run this application"

I have installed the LabVIEW 7.0 run time engine and checked all in the advanced setup on the installer setup slide. but I still get such a message saying that the target computer needs to have LabVIEW 7.0 run-time engine. What I want is a real stand-alone application even without having labview ... I used to think that's due to my program contains MATLAB nodes. But this is not true, since even without Matlab, it's still wrong. Please help, thanks!!!

As was stated elsewhere, you have the option of building the runtime engine into your application when you build it. However, you can also create a "runtime engine application" by simply opening the application builder and doing a build without adding any source code files. The result is a small program (named lvrt.exe) that can run any LabVIEW code--whether or not its built into an executable.
Such an application can be helpful if you are wanting to install several LV-based applications on the same computer in that it reduces the amount of redundant code on disk. All you have to do is make sure that Windows on the target computer associates the llb and vi file extensions with the runtime engine program.
It can also be helpful during testing to run test code that isn't built into an executable.

run-time engine error.jpg ‏42 KB

Is the run-time engine installed? A LV EXE can not run without the RTE.
When you build an EXE, you have the option to create an installer, which will also install the RTE. If you build an EXE with no VI defined, it should build an installer with only the RTE.
Alternatively, you can try looking for the RTE installer on your LV CD or on this site.

Run-Time errors using DAQmx and Borland C++ Builder 5.0

I've written a simple program on MS Visual C++ 6.0 to test my PCI-6014 board and it works fine.
I copied the code to Borland C++ builder 5.0 and had some linker problems with the .lib files that where solved with borland's "coff2omf".
Now I've been getting run-time errors when I use the function DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan()... The error code is -50251: "The specified software component is not available. The component was not loaded".
But I'm sure that the code is right, since it works fine on MS Visual C++ 6.0!
That the part of the code where I'm getting the error:
iErro = DAQmxCreateTask("", &thTask);
iErro = DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(thTask, "Dev1/ai0", "", DAQmx_Val_Diff, -10.0, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_Volts, NU
LL);
Thanks for the help,

Hello
Borland enables certain types of exceptions by default which are initially disable in MSVC. You will need to refer to the documentation for Borland Builder on how to disable floating point exceptions. I believe you can do it by adding the following statement to your initialization code, but you should double check this:
_control87(MCW_EM, MCW_EM);
These exceptions get thrown because we are doing some floating point initialization underneath. This is not an indication of a bug or a problem of any sort. Apparently you have to this for alot of libraries to work correctly with Borland (OpenGL etc...)
Hope this helps

App Builder/Run Time Install Broke?

I have full up version of LabView 5.1.1, running on Win98.
I went through the Application Building Example on page 12 of the
Application Buidler release notes.
I then installed the sample app on another Win98 box. The application
installation went OK until it ran the install for the LabVIEW runtime.
Then I got the following error:
"Setup Initialization Error
Setup requires a different version of Windows. Check to make sure that
you are running Setup on the Windows platform for which it is intended.
Error 102."
I also get this same error if I run the LabVIEW runtime install
directly.
As I said, both machines are Win98. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Mike T

I am not sure if this is your exact problem but you might try it . I found
with the run time in 5.1 would not install properly . On the target machine
I did a runtime engine install from the APP builder disk , not from the 5.1
disk . Then things seem to get sorted out after that . I still haven't been
able to do a stand alone disk that installs the runtime engine and
application together yet. More for the lack of trying after I got a work
around (I hope?) . That was with win95 and 5.1 , not sure if the same sort
of thing will be true for 5.1.1 and win 98.
Hope that helps

Run time error running Vision Builder AI inspection from TestStand

Hello,
I have TestStand 3.1 and Vision Builder for AI v2.6.1.
I would like to run from TestStand a Vision Builder Program or steps. For to achieve that, I have followed the instructions on Application Note 215, Running a Vision Builder AI Inspection from TestStand.
After installation, the option in TestStand InsertStep>NI Vision Builder AI>Inspection works properly.
But when try to execute a step with that inspection, and whatever operation of that one, the result is the following error:
Run-Time Error
Details: Error executing substep 'Post'.
An error occurred calling 'ExecuteStep' in '_NIVBAITestStandSteps' of 'NIVBAITestStandAPI'.
Error Code: -2147417851; User defined code. Possible System Error: The server sent an exception.
At this point really I don´t know what to do, and I don't find any extra help apart of application note.
I will appreciate some suggestion.
Gonzalo.

Hello,
I've found some more information that may help. Since these TestStand steps are simply call a DLL with an exported ActiveX API, path issues may exist. In fact, the overwhelming number of times this error appears, paths seems to be the case. I am not sure why the error is an indication of a path issue, but that seems to be the case. I would recommend that you would reregister the DLL, this time in the same directory as the example sequence. To do this:
- Unregister the current DLL by going to Start Menu>>Run, and typing: regsvr32 /u NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll
- Move the DLL from the system32 folder to the folder in which the example sequence is saved.
- Reregister the DLL from the run command (regsvr32 <folder path>\NIVBAITestStandAPI.dll)
- Restart TestStand if it is open
I apologize for not having any concrete answers, but this one is proving tough without me being able to replicate the issue.

Run-time License for Vision builder

HI
I have created a VBAI file for my inspection in, but now I want to transfer the inspection LabVIEW and build an exe to run the application.
Now for running that application do I require a NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection Run-Time License or a NI Vision Development Module Run-Time License.
Thanks,
Ninad Regundwar
Junior Engineer | ARAV Technologies | www.aravtech.com

Instead of migrating to LabVIEW, you might want to consider automating Vision Builder from LabVIEW and running your inspection by using the VBAI API.
Check out the examples located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Vision Builder AI 2013\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples.
The VBAI API allows to start a VBAI engine, open and run an inspection and retrieve images and results for each step.
When using this method, if you're running the LabVIEW program on the same machine VBAI is installed, you do not need to purchase the VBAI runtime, neither the Vision Development Module Runtime (unless you wish to process further the image returned by VBAI.
If you need to deploy that LabVIEW application on a different machine, then you'll need to purchase a VBAI Runtime license.
If you choose instead to migrate the inspection to LabVIEW, then you will need to purchase a full license of Vision Development module for your development machine (the code generated uses Vision Development Module VIs).
If you choose to build the resulting code into a LabVIEW application and deploy it on a different machine, you will need a Vision Development Module Runtime License for the deployment machine (but not a VBAI license).
Migrating the code to LabVIEW is recommended only in cases where you need to modify the code generated by VBAI. The code generated is indeed a lot more complex than using the VBAI API that I described in the first option.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Christophe

Folder of application builder(*.exe) with run-time DLL

My application consists of main.vi, subvi folder, and example folder.
In addition, I have to add the run-time libraries for add-on tool kit (advanced signal processing, lvwa.dll) which should be located in the root folder.
(For exe application, can I set the location of DLLs to not the root folder but "DLL folder"?)
In my several trials, I can't maintain the hierachy of "example folder".
Instead of my intension, the NI application builder copied the files in the folder to the support directory.
Can I locate the "example folder" to the root folder by using NI application builder?
In summary, I want to get the folder structure by application builder.
main.exe, DLL folder, Example Folder.

Hey Labmaster,
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
I am not too clear as to what you are trying to do. You can create folders and add anything from your project when creating an installer under the Source Files section in its properties.
It might be easier if you'd attach a screen shot of what you are doing or trying to do.

Template Builder not found followed by Run-time error '429'

Hello,
I am having problems with BI Publisher.
I am running the application on a Windows 2003 server via a Citrix connection using Word 2007 (SP2) (multilingual French/English). On this forum, I have seen numerous threads about this type of error but none seems to be working for us.
Symptoms:
I installed BI Publisher with admin rights (account A) and it works fine using this account
I copy the TBCrosstab.dot, TemplateBuilder.dot, WordAnalyzer.dot in another User Profile "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP" (Account B)
All macros are enabled in account B
The Add-ins menu shows but when I click on Connection I get the Template Builder not found error followed by Run-time error '429'
I uninstall BI Publisher from Account A and install it using account B
It now works fine with account B but I get the error messages in account A...
Does BI Publisher work using multiple accounts on a single machine?
Thanks
