I was able to get the install builder to build an installer for my
Application today 6/6/07. These are the steps I performed along with good amounts of trail and error.
1) I attempted to re-install the NI-DAQ 8.0.1 drivers however I didn't
perform this because it said it remove NI products which I didn't want
removed. But it didn't tell me what it would remove.
2) Instead, I copied the entire NI-DAQ 8.0.1 distribution to a directory on my hard drive.
3) I set the NI-DAQ 8.3 install build type to FULL in install builder.
4) In install builder when prompted for the components from the NI-DAQ
8.0.1 I browsed to the NI-DAQ 8.0.1 directory on the hard drive and
also un-checked the cache box.
5) It through another error this time saying it couldn't find
C:\NI-DAQ8_0_1\8.0.1\Products\LabVIEW_Broker71\LVBroker71Deu.mst (and,
LVBroker71Fra.mst, LVBroker71jpn.mst, LVBroker1071Deu,
LVBroker1071Fra.mst, LVBroker1071jpn.mst). It also could not find the
LVBroker1071 files in the
C:\NI-DAQ8_0_1\8.0.1\Products\LabVIEW_Broker1071 directory either.
6) I performed a search for these files and they did not exist in the
NI-DAQ 8.0.1 directory on my hard drive or the 8.0.1 CD I have.
7) These files DID exist in my NI-DAQ 8.3 directory located on my hard drive.
8) I copied the LVBrokerxxxx.mst (listed in 5 above) files from the
NI-DAQ 8.3 directory on my hard drive to the corresponding location in
the NI-8.0.1 directory on my hard drive.
9) This time when I rebuilt the installer for my application the build was successful.
Additional information:
When I built my application I only selected English for language
support. In Install builder in "Dialog Information I also selected
English.
I haven't attempted to try the installer on my target yet so I'm not
quite sure how successful I really was but at least I have a installer.
Let me know if this also works for you.

Application builder error 1055

ed. cross-post: http://lavag.org/topic/18047-application-builder-error-1055/
Hello everyone
I have a big problem with building applications lately. The build is running fine until the end, when it throws:
Error 1055 occurred at Property Node in VISL_findDependentVISvr.vi->VISL_findAndProcessVISvrList.vi->VISL_detectAndCopyVISvr.vi->AB_Engine_Copy_CustomIOServer_Files.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Object reference is invalid.
Has anyone seen this error in app builder? Does anyone have any idea how can I resolve this problem?

Lennard, Valko
I'm using LV 2013 f2. Let me give you some more details and... The story how I fixed it:
The project is pretty big (~1500 VIs) and highly object-oriented (~300 classes). It has RT (PXI) and PC part. Some of the classes are shared between PC and RT. The problem with build was present only on PC - build for RT was ok.
I had DSC module installed, but it was not used in this project at all. Despite that, when I found information from Lennards link, I've tried to build it using "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time support". It didn't help. I started to wonder if the sharing of classes between RT and PC has something to do with the problem. So I refactored the project, splitted it into two projects (one for PC, one for PXI) and reduced number of shared classes (especially some specific classes, which implement "threads"). Afterwards, the build could be done just fine, but only in those refactored projects.
Now for the plot twist: before refactoring, I've tried to build the project on another computer. It was build without any problems! So I started to look for the differences. First of all, just before the build I've updated one of our internal libraries in VIPM and changed its name - so it was my main suspect (I needed to update dependencies in project as the change of VIPM package name changed it folder in vi.lib). This + disconnecting code from VIs and I though that I've just found another way of destroying LV compiler completely. Still, I couldn't fix it in any way...
As per Valko suggestion I've uninstalled DSC module completely. Once again - my project does not explicitly use this module at all! Removing the module didn't broke anything in the project. And guess what? The build was done without problems! I've even tried to do this build again on the code revision before refactoring, and the build was done!
tl;dr: REALLY NI!!?!? REALLY!? YOU'VE BROKEN SOMETHING IN THE MODULE WHICH I DON"T EVEN EXPLICITLY USE AND MADE ME LOSE FEW DAYS OF WORK JUST TO FIND IT OUT? REEEEAAAAALYYYYY!?

Application builder error.llb

Hi all,
I'm using application builder to compile an executable of my VI. Compile runs without a hitch.
However, when I try to launch the .exe three subvis from error.llb are missing : Not Found Dialog.vi, Details Display Dialog.vi and Set String Value.vi
The compiled .exe seems to be looking for these VIs in instr.lib, which is nowhere to be found in the compile folder.
This happens even on my developpment machine, on which, of course, the VI runs fine from within LabView.
Did I miss something during the compiler setup ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
Nico
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've had this before, and it was reported by NI as being a bug that comes from loading up a project that was built in an older version of LabVIEW and creating an application from it. For me it was loading a LV8.5 project into 8.6.
The only workaround was to add the three missing vi's to the project, and ensure they are added to the Always Included list within the application builder.
You will find these vi's in Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\error.llb. Simply add them to your project somewhere, then in application builder made sure you select them as Always Included in the Source Files section, then rebuild your application.

Application Builde Error

When I build my application in Labview 6.1(Win 2000), the error is "Error 1 occurred at Snd Gen Error Call Chain.Vi\., possible reason:
Labview: An input parameter is invalid", What sould I solve this problem?
Thanks.

Typically, this occurs when vi's have duplicate names. Find all instances of Snd Gen...vi and rename the dupes.

Hi
This behaviour can happen when installing Visual Studio .Net or ORCA because they install a newer mergemod.dll which isn't compatible with the older version that LV 6.1 uses in the Application Builder installer.
This steps should help:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change to the "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools" directory.
3. Execute the following command: "regsvr32 /u mergemod.dll". This should report that the unregister was successful.
4. Change to the "\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\Installer" directory.
5. Execute the following command: "regsvr32 mergemod.dll". This should report that the register was successful.
Hope this helps

Applications freezing/error reports not sending

I've had my Macbook for a over a year and probably 8 months into owning it, downloaded applications started freezing for no reason. For example - Skype and the Last.fm scrobbler... it happens every so often with Firefox also. I can open and use them but eventually they freeze anywhere from a minute to a couple hours later. Skype is famous for freezing on-screen (when it says "so and so is typing..." in the upper right corner), forcing me to restart the computer completely to be able to reopen the application. What's even worse is when I force quit the error report won't send. I've tried completely removing them and reinstalling but that doesn't work. I don't have Norton or any sort of anti-virus program, and pre-installed applications (iChat/tunes/etc) don't freeze.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, I haven't been able to find any help.

Application Builder error in LabVIEW 7.0

I am maintaining some legacy code in LabVIEW 7.0. I have recently (perhaps within the last month or so) been getting Error 1003 in Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi (part of App Builder) when building my code. I've done some testing, including trying to build much simpler VIs, and get the same error. Curiously, this occurs on multiple (Windows XP SP3) machines, both "real" and "virtual", including on two of three installations on a single PC (so it is not hardware-dependent).
I have a strong suspicion that the problem is neither my code nor LabVIEW itself, based on the following logic: 1) This problem arose on multiple PCs at about the same time (i.e. I don't recall seeing this a few months ago, now I see it on almost all of my PCs). 2) There are two PCs where I do not see this error -- when I check the LabVIEW installation files between a PC that "works" and one that doesn't, the differences seem (to me) to be small, more related to "what did I do most recently" or "how much of MAX did I install, which drivers". (3) Using or not using OpenG in my code mades no difference, nor does turning off Anti-Virus scans.
I tried two other things. First, I have a VM that I recently build (which I think is significant) that has both LabVIEW 7.0 and LabVIEW 7.1. The build fails with LabVIEW 7.0, but succeeds with LabVIEW 7.1. In addition, I found a VM, built a year ago and "sitting idle", with LabVIEW 7.0 on it. I fired it up, did not allow Microsoft Update to update anything, and tried the build with LabVIEW 7.0 -- it worked!
My current working hypothesis is that some "patch" installed by Microsoft (.NET? ActiveX?) has clobbered something in the LabVIEW 7.0 Build Application. Unfortunately, the VIs that make up this application are password-protected, so I can't see "inside" to discover what file or other condition is responsible for the error message.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? [Don't suggest "Upgrade to 7.1" -- I'm the only "maintainer" of multiple PCs and multiple applications, some of which run on systems "belonging" to other people. I am in the process of rewriting the code in "modern LabVIEW" (2011) and will port it widely, but until then, it's not practical (or "politically correct") to make the 7.0 -> 7.1 shift ... Besides, my curiousity is piqued!]
Bob Schor
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good point. The reason for my "laser beams" is several fold. First, I follow a written protocol (I wrote it!) whenever I install or re-install LabVIEW 7.0, so I'm pretty sure that all of the installations "should be consistent" (if not identical). Second, I compared two NI folders in Program Files between a version that worked and one that didn't, and while there were differences, it seemed "not likely" to be an explanation. Third, I'm 99% sure that at least one of the systems that now cannot build (of the eight installs, all by me, that I've checked, only three worked, and one was on a PC that hadn't been turned on in over a year, hence was certainly not updated) was able to build previously (i.e. I don't recall seeing this problem until about a week ago, when I started re-building an update to my legacy application). It is possible that this problem was always present on these systems, but doesn't seem likely.
Nevertheless, before the beginning of next week, I plan to take one of my "failing" systems, uninstall LabVIEW (but not change the OS in any way), reinstall it, and see if I can build. If this still fails, I'll take the "old" system I mentioned above and start bringing it "up to speed" until I "break" the App Builder. Note that it is possible that MicroSoft is not to blame -- I have other software (such as editors, utilities like WinZip, etc.) that have also been updated, and one of them might have clobbered the Builder.
Will let you all know what I find.

Application Builder Error "Browse to LabVIEW.exe"

LabVIEW gurus...
I am currently building a standalone app from my project. When I run the application (which builds successfully), LabVIEW prompts me to browse to the LabVIEW.exe file. However, I want this app to run on a computer that will not have LabVIEW installed, and so browsing to this file isn't an option.
I know that the reason for this problem is that I'm using 2 call library functions named StrLen and MoveBlock within the LabVIEW.exe library (to access data from a pointer to a pointer).
LabVIEW.exe shows up as one of the dependencies in my project, but I can't figure out how to add it to my build specifications. I tried to build an installer and include the LabVIEW runtime environment, but this doesn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.
Thanks,
Jason
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In the dll call simply type LabVIEW without any path. This should work (I used it on 7.1)to automagicallylink it.
The functions are also located in the lvrt.dll which is the main part of the runtime engine.

Hi James,
Did you make sure to include the LV 8.5.1 Run-Time Engine in the installer? The error is saying that dependencies are missing and the product code is for the LabvIEW Run-Time Engine v8.5.1 (I was able to look that up for you). When you say the executables work by themselves, is that on the target machine or development machine? Have you ever been able to build an installer?

When the cmd-tab keys are pressed, Console immediately reports a string of Dock errors. No other errors are reported after the initial press, regardless of subsequent input (h, q, tab, tilde).
Removing the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and logging out/in made no difference. Thoughts? Thanks!!

Haven't seen that one before but I asked around and one of my JRockit colleagues said it was probably the JIT compiler not being able to allocate memory. I would guess that something is either leaking native memory, or you are generating a lot of new classes. A JVM upgrade might help since later versions have the capability to GC unused compiled code. It is also possible that you need to decrease the Java heap size (to leave more room for native code).
Try one or more of the folllowing:
1) Upgrade to a later version of JRockit (R27.1 or later)
2) Decrease the Java heap size
3) If neither works, start tracking native memory usage through the command
jrcmd <pid> print_memusage
and see if you can see a trend somewhere. If you suspect a native memory leak, you probably want to open a ticket with BEA Support.

Window.open function in java script used to open the BI report from APEX

Hi,
I have some oracle reports now which I converted to BI publisher and the reports are now in BI publisher.
My question is
To open the BI report from APEX using a button the following code i have written
window.open
('http://bipubdvserver/xmlpserver/testreport/testreport.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&p_dept_no=&deptno',"mywindow");
I want to pass the parameter deptID dynamically to call the BI report.
But when I click on the button it is showing the file open/save dialog box without accepting the parameter and finally showing the blank pdf.
but I want to enter the parameter value dynamically that is when click on button it should allow me to enter the deptno eg. 10 then should show the data related to dept 10 in pdf..
how to accomplish this could you please help me.
thanks very much in advance.

i got this please ignore the post.
