Cannont run executables in Windows 8

This problem has been probably solved, but I could not find a thread in this forum to explain whats the solution to the below problem:
We have developed a software pacakge in LabView 2012 SP1. The installation works fine in all versions of Windows from (XP 32Bits to 764Bits Pro), However after installing the softwrae in a new machine with Windows 8 32Bit (this PC used to have Win7 and used to run the software just fine) I get the following message:
" the vi is not executable the full development " (multiple times in a single dialog).
Any clues how to fix this?
Should I upgrade my LabView or is this just as easy as changing couple of checkboxes in project settings? Also, I dont care how big my installer will be as long as it will run on the new machine.
Thanks for you help and looking forward for your tips!
Solved!

I resolved the root of the issue!
Its about having an older versoin of MS .Net Fx installed!
(LV needs 2.0 and 3.5 which the software installs it itself but win 8 only comes with 4.5 enabled.)
This page describes how to turn on/off windows features:

Running executable JARs from Windows

Hi!
I have this executable JAR file with no problems for running it from the Windows console using the "java -jar jarfile" command. But if I double click the same JAR file in Windows explorer I get a "Main class not found" error. Does anyone know what's happening here ?
Thanks in advance

I think the following varies somewhat depending on which Windows you are using. On Win 2000 in a Windows folder, select Tools menu, Folder Options and select File Types. Then select JAR and click on Advanced. Under Actions, there select "open" and click on Edit. For the Application, you should see something like "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*

Is it possible to run a Labview executable on a Windows 8 Phone?

If I create an executable from Labview,will it be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, as Mike already said.
The reason being that a LabVIEW executable contains binary code that is compiled for the x86 CPU architecture and accesses the Win32 API. Windows Phone typically runs on ARM or RISC CPUs and did only provide a very limited Win32 subset in the past. With the new Windows RT technology it actually moved even further away from Win32 compatibility as it's entire architecture is based on the .Net technology.
So even if you happen to get an Intel Atom based Windows Phone device which would be x86 compatible it couldn't work, since a LabVIEW executable is a Win32 portable executable format not a .Net bytecode image.

Troubles with opening attachments when user have restristed priviledge to run executable code only from ProgramFiles and Windows folders.

I try to restrict users from executing any potentialy dangerous files. So according to Windows policies I set. Users can run any application from Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows and all users' desktop folder. Users have no permission to write anything in this folders. When user duble clicks for example *.doc document on his desktop - document opens with MS Word just fine. But when user try to open this document from e-mail attachment directly (selecting open with MS Word, instead of saving) - he sees an error - "This action is restricted by local policy. Ask your system administrator." (not exact text).
So I want, users able to open attachments from Thunderbird automatically, but not able to run any application or link, except Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows and all users' desktop folder. How can I get this result?
Thanks in advance.
Serious Diman.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english. It's not my native language.

Thanks for answering.
I found out what was happening.
This strange "bug" affects several computers with Windows 7 Ultimate in my case.
When you create SRP (software restriction policies) it creates two default rules for running programs: windows folder and Program Files folder. Manually I add "C:\Program Files (x86)" in unrestricted locations. BUT Windows and Program Files folder linked in default rules not directly, but through registry keys. And this part seems tricky. You CAN run executables from Program Files. You CAN run executables from Program Files (x86). But if Thunderbird or Firefox try to run MSword, or excel or writer for opening *.doc or *.odt or some other downloaded file - running from Program Files blocked by SRP.
So to resolve this problem you just need to replace rules for undirect paths like %HKLM/software/microsoft/windows ... etc% with direct ones, such as "C:/Windows" and "C:/Program Files/". After this all works fine. Attachments and downloaded files opens automatically without problems.

I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now. HELP!!!

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

Which tablet/s can run executables created in LabVIEW 8.5?

Background: I have created a VI that acquires data over bluetooth from a specific DAQ device. The VI is created in Windows 7 and LV 8.5. The VI is tested to work on the development machine. I'd like end users to be able to install and run an executable version of this VI from a tablet that has bluetooth capability.
Question: Which tablets can run executables created in LabVIEW 8.5? I think tablets running Windows 8.1, such as Surface Pro and Dell Venue Pro, should be okay but need a confirmation before I purchase one. Also, how about tablets that run other operating systems, such as Windows RT or Android?
Extended Question: What tablets in the market can run LabVIEW 8.5 VIs (or in other words allow LabVIEW 8.5 to be installed)?

Well since LabVIEW 8.5 isn't officially supported on Windows 7, or 8 you may have issues.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B972242574D4BB99862575A7007520CB
Of course many on the forums have stated being able to run older versions of LabVIEW on new operating systems without issue but know that from NI's perspective you should not be running LabVIEW 8.5 on Windows 7. Which means no modern tablet.

I want to run java program on windows environment as background process

Hi all
I want to run java program on windows environment as background processSo command prompt return after executing java command and program on background In Linux we can do this easily �but I do not how to do this in windows
for example look this programe
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestClass {
     class ravi extends Thread{
          public void run(){
               try {
                    String target_file = "ravind.txt";
                    File targetfile = new File(target_file);
                    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(targetfile)) ;
               for (int i =0 ; i < 100 ;i++ ){
                    Thread.sleep(10000);
                    writer.println(" ravindra shukla ");
          } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          TestClass test1 = new TestClass();
          TestClass.ravi r1 = test1.new ravi();
          r1.start();
System.out.println(" return from main ");
first i compile this
javac TestClass.java
then i run this by using this command
java TestClass
but becouse i put sleep on threads run function so it takes to much time to get return on command promt .... i want to run this programe as background process so command promt return as soon as i execute java command

Thanks dude
This solution �start java TestClass� works fine �. But it does not solve my problem
It opens another black window and that black window persist till the life time of my program
Is it possible application run on complete background without opening another black window �as in Linux

Running iTunes 8 on Windows Server 2003, avoiding 2096 error

Since QuickTime 7.5,nor iTunes neither QuickTime would run on my Server 2003, and the famous 2096 error came up. Unfortunately the new 2+ iPod firmware required iTunes 8 so I had to do something about it. The solution by apple was to turn off compatibility mode, but that was not on in the first place. Reinstalling, searching the net for solutions,.. nothing helped.
So here is how I solved my problem. QuickTime 7.5+ requires at least XP SP2 so i followed this guide > http://www.sheebz.net/post/2008/03/Running-Photoshop-CS3-on-Windows-2003-Server. aspx
and did the same both for the QuickTime and iTunes executables(instead of the setup.exe in the guide), and viola they are running. Note that the Microsoft Application Verifier program must be running when you start iTunes or QuickTime. The cool thing is that you have to do this only once, seems it just needs to pass the first check and after that you're good to go, no need for the Microsoft Application Verifier to be running anymore. Enjoy

Well now we're getting somewhere.
The RDP connection is fast, as there is nothing but 100Mb/s LAN and a switch between my desktop and the server, so thats not it. Quicktime is fine, so thats not it.
I AM, however, running iTunes 4.8.0.32. I'm not very keen on the idea of moving to 6.0.2 for reasons that I'd rather not go into on this particular board... Is (the upgrade) this something i can do on the one machine unassociated with my apple ID? What parts of the older version are problematic?
thanks!

Running My Program From Windows?

Hi, now that I'm done with my program, is there any
way that I can run the program from windows by
creating a shortcut? I would like the program to run
on other machines without having to start or install
the JDK.First, the other machines do not need the JDK - they need the JRE which is much smaller. Second, your question is a variant of the most asked question on this forum. Try searching for "exe" or "executable" or something similar and you will find lots of answers.
Quickly I can tell you that if your program use any GUI (ie AWT/Swing), there is no way you can avoid having the JRE on the target machines. You can, however, make installation programs that install the JRE along with you program if you wish.

Run jar-exe on windows systems.

Hi. I`m trying to find a way to run jar files on Windows systems. The key is to do so without having installed "explicity" the jre (1.5 or higher) sun installation program. I mean, I want to users be able to run my .jar executable programs on machines where jre isn`t set. I know how to create executable jar programs, but I have no idea about how to change Windows behaviour to instantiate the java virtual machine.
Help and comments wil be welcome, Thanks and regards.

Are you trying to run .jar executable on Windows system without JRE installed? Remember, executable jar file contains java classes and they need a JVM/JRE in order to run themselves.
In plain you cann't run a jar executable without jvm/jre installed.
Now, on another note, if you are trying to provide user the ability to run jar file without downloading/installing JRE, this forum entry might interest you:

Jnlp cannot run on Safari for Windows

When accessing Java jnlp via the Windows version of Safari I get a dialog asking "save" the jnlp exec file or cancel. It should execute the exec-jnlp file.
On the Mac Safari version it works seamlessly.
Any ideas how to run jnlp on the Windows-Safari?

Someone posted the location in the forums, but I can't find it.
Checked Windows Explorer... try making a copy of the "en" file in the folder: C:\Documents and Settings\(username here)\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Spelling
Next, edit the en file to add words you want. Not sure if you can add your own language files in that folder...

Run executable before installation

Hello all,
I need small information. Please help me.
In LabVIEW Installer Window at Advanced settings, we have
Run executable at end of installation
Run executable before uninstallation
Is there is any option for “Run executable before installation”?
I want to run one LabVIEW exe before installing new software (if Runtime engine is exits in deployment PC).
Please let me know if anyone have idea.

The NI installers don't give you a lot of control of how things are done. Let say you want to allow you users to have a minimum, complete, or custom install of tools. The NI installers don't have that option.
In the past when I need more control of how installers run, and their options, I've used a couple of free tools that I've mentioned in the past. Inno Setup, and the helper program ISTool.
Using this method I can make an installer, that runs a different installer first, then runs the NI installer.

Running executable on clients,Share your experience

I have installed Oracle 9i AS on application server environment and deployed my forms and big application on this env.
Now I tried to run my reports (created as executable files) and they opened at the server and hangs the client till I close the exe. on the server.
Any body knows how can I deal with the client to run executable or share your experience.
Many Thanks
Adel Yousef

I've done some evaluation of Forms and Reports 6i. Of the two, Reports seems to have most of the problems, but that is another discussion. From my notes I can recall:
Forms layout: If you delete a frame, all prompts dissapear. Reappear
when you close and open layout again.
Forms generic: Readme says 6i is patch compatible with 6.0. If you modify a form with a static record group in 6.0.8 it works ok. If you then recompile with 6.0.5 all static record group values are gone!
The bug where you may not get the property palette by pressing F4
before other windows have been activated still exists.
It appears that the (layout) window has focus, and from GUI point
I think it does, but cant receive events.
This behaivour can something be noticed in runtime also.
I don't think it is a problem with Windows as no other application
has this behaviour.
The issue of existing state of package
still exists, must try it with sql+
If you change a stored procedure in a way
that its signature doesnt change, forms
runtime still complains the first time
you call the procedure. The second time
it works ok. Strange.
Could not generate form with Ctrl+T. Tried Sh+Ctrl+K but got
PDE-PER001 Internal error (depep 2).
Tried again, worked.
Runtime: Why are all my prompts with background=white?

Run executable at end of installation. Admin privileges?

Hi all,
As always, please forgive this questioning if it has already been answered somewhere.
Here is my scenario:
I have a batch file with the following in it:
cd C:\Temp\install\anotherInstaller
setup.exe /q /AcceptLicenses yes
"anotherInstaller" is an installer for a different LabVIEW application that I am including with the main one.
I run the batch file from the "Advanced" page of my installer under "Run executable at end of installation."
I run my top level installer with admin privileges in Windows 7 x64.
The installer hums along and everything works as expected until the batch file gets called.
The batch file gets called successfully by my top level installer, but "anotherInstaller" doesn't run.
The batch script works fine if I run it by itself with elevated privileges, but doesn't run anotherInstaller if it is called by my top level installer.
My theory is that the executable called under "Run executable at end of installation" does not execute with elevated privileges, even if the top level installer does.
Can anyone verify this?
Is there any other reason why my second installer won't work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Okay, it does appear to execute with elevated privileges, and I have a new clue:
When I turn off the "/q" option on anotherInstaller, the following message appears in a dialog:
"Error: Another Installation/uninstallation session, deployment session, or NI Update Service is running. Finish that session and try again."
Ugh. Anyone know of a good way to "piggyback" another LabVIEW built installer as part of a batch file? (I have a whole ton of other housekeeping I handle in my batch file, so I can't very well avoid using the batch file.)

Running executables in an XTERM

Hi,
I have an application that requires a working terminal to run. The "Execution Window" of studio 11 does not have terminal support (ie. cursor is not addressable).
My app needs to run inside an xterm or vt100 terminal. How do I get my application to run within an xterm from Studio 11 IDE. And how would I debug an application that runs inside an xterm using the IDE?

I was previously asking a question how to run xterm without a shell in it.
I did not get any response but here is a simple trick how to run application from Studio 11 IDE and redirect I/O to xterm window.
The xterm (to my knowledge) has to be always associated with some running application.
The problem is that the application I/O is interfering with I/O of the program you are debugging.
THIS IS A HACK.
Write a simple c program (s.c):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
printf("pty:%s\n",ttyname(0));
close(0); close(1); close(2);
fclose(stdin); fclose(stdout); fclose(stderr);
for(;;) sleep(10);
compile:
cc s.c
and execute � do it login as the same user as you are running Studio11 to avoid permissions issues.
xterm a.out
Now you have running xterm with application which is ignoring I/O
The only text displayed in the xterm window is the name of pty
Go into IDE debugger and load the application you want to debug in xterm window
Set the I/O for the program to the pty from the xterm screen
Make sure your environment has set proper TERM.
Start debugging. All I/O will go through xterm window.
Once you are done just close the window (xterm) or CTRL_C from it.
Let me know if it helped
Message was edited by:
Well the Forte6U2 did not have this kind of problems. The Output window was working just fine as a xterm replacement. For the development environment like Studio11 there should be a nicer way how to do this.
