GPIB in a LabView-application running as EXE-file does not work

I try to connect an Instrument over GPIB and I use VISA from a Windows2000 PC without LabView installed. The GPIB-card is not from National Instruments. The Programm is running as EXE-application. What else do I have to install beside the EXE-file to access the Instrument?

NI_VISA.

Start Run thunderbird.exe-p does not work in windows 7. how find/runProfiles manager?

I am trying to manually transfer my address book etc. from TB on my desktop [windows XP ] to my Laptop running widows 7. Have followed all instructions, using a memory stick to make the transfer manually. System reports it is working and takes several minutes. After completion address book is blank. Thought problem might be the name of the backup file, so changed name to same as default profile name on windows 7. Same nil result. Instructions say to create new profile using Profile manager; access by windows 7 Start>Run>Thunderbird.exe-p. Windows 7 reports cannot find the file. Also tried windows 7 Start>Run>Thunderbird.exe-P, same no find file. Can anyone explain how to locate/open/run Profile Manager, other than as tried ? When I type "profile manager" into Help search, all I get is the same general information and not about Profile Manager itself. Also why does Pasteing backup profile onto the new TB seem to work, but in fact does nothing ?
Regards, Tom

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
Note: 'Start>Run>Thunderbird.exe-p' is not correct, so you are not following the instructions. Please read info at the above links above to enter the correct path. the info for Win7 and win8 are the same.
However, before going down that route ; I preume you have already created a Profile in Win7 machine; please read the following information.
re: 'trying to manually transfer my address book etc. from TB on my desktop [windows XP ] to my Laptop running widows 7.'
So are you trying to just migrate the address book or the entire Profile?
'''If just migrating various Address Books.'''
The 'Personal Address Book' and the 'Collected Addresses' are default Thunderbird files. These files can be copy pasted from one profile to another.
To see Profile folders:
* make hidden files visible: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
* In XP Thunderbird, 'Help' > 'Troubleshooting Information'
* click on 'Show folder'
* close Thunderbird now.
* scroll down and look for 'abook.mab' and 'history.mab'
* copy those files and move to same location on the Win7 machine.
For other address books.
* In XP Thunderbird
* select 'Address Book'
* select the name of the address book
* Tools > Export
* choose where to save
* give suitable filename
* Save as type: comma separated .csv or LDIF
* Copy that file to desktop of new Win7 computer.
Then in Win7 Thunderbird Address Book
* Tools > Import
* Choose the saved address book and click on Open.
'''If you want to migrate the entire Profile:'''
This can be done manually or using a tool called MozBackup. See info at this link:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Move_to_a_new_PC
When manually copy pasting files, I presume you have installed Thunderbird on new win7 machine and allowed it to run for the first time to create a Profile, but did not choose to create any existing accounts. So you have a Profile, but no mail accounts except for the default Local Folders.
The files you need to copy are:
* In XP Thunderbird, 'Help' > 'Troubleshooting Information'
* click on 'Show folder'
* close Thunderbird now.
This shows you all the files '''in''' your Profile folder. These are the files you need to copy and paste into the new Profile folder in Thunderbird on Win7 machine, overwriting the default created files.
now open Thunderbird.
'''Additional info: on Profile folder: '''

Oracle 9iLite download setup.exe file does not work

Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing...
I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt.
I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
and rename them to symcjit.old.
Then launch setup.exe.
This should take care of the problem

VISA read in exe file is not working

Hi all,
I am having problems with VISA read in an exe file created.
I am trying to write to and read from a programmable power supply via RS232. The VI writes a command to the instrument to set the voltage level. It then writes another command, requesting the resulting current value. This value is then read by VISA read
The VI is working fine on the development PC, which has LabVIEW installed. The exe file is also working fine on this PC. However, when I try to run the exe file on another PC (I've tried several) everything seem to work except for the VISA read functions. The voltage level command is sent, as well as the On and OFF commands, but the current is not read back.
I guess there must be something I have missed in the installation. I am working in LabVIEW 8.5. I have created an installer and included
Runtime Engine 8.5.1
VISA runtime 4.5
Is there something else I should do? I am really running out of ideas here...
I hope someone has a clue about this!
Clara

Clara-
1. Have you verified that the COM port settings in Windows (check under device manager) are matching how you initialize them (Baud, bits, parity, and flow control) and that these match the power supply's settings?
2. Also, are you trapping an error message after the attempted Read command (this will make it a lot easier to diagnose).
3. Do you programmatically close the VISA session at the end of the program?
4. You can always post the code to see if the forum members will catch the porblem.

Stand alone labview application (.exe file) does not run properly

Hi all,
I am trying to make a stand alone labview application to run on another computer ( I have never done this before).
I went through the tools->build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.
the program is supposed to control a power meter and make power measurements then save them to a text file.
When I run the exe file, on the same computer I compiled the exe file on, the program generates a text file to save data to but it can not communicate with the power meter.
There are some sub-VIs and a dll file that are used to communicate with the power meter. Could it be that I am not telling labview to correctly
include these files when I create an executable?
What are some common problems that occur when generating stand alone applications that could be causing my issues?
And does anyone know of any good tutorials on generating stand alone applications in labview other than the NI help files?
Thanks for your help,
Solved!

Hi Bill, thanks for your suggestions.
I haven't tried to run this app on another computer yet. I'm just trying to run it on the computer it was developed on.
The computer I developed it on has all the drivers/resources I need to control the power meter.
Also, I don't know how to include the VISA runtime with my installer. could you explain how this is done?
This is the first time IV tried to turn any labview programs into stand alone exe files so I don't anything about how to do it other than what I've seen in youtube videos and help files.
If you know of any good tutorials that will help me figure this out I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
My fault - I didn't read that this was the same computer. I know the very end of Core 3 studies shows how to build an executable and installer, but even that is very general. I'm not sure if there exists a tutorial on how to do it.
As for including the runtimes, when you build an installer, you have to include the runtimes that your executable will need. It's fairly straightforward.
Since it won't run on the machine that built it, I'll have to think about it a little bit...

How do I set Firefox 10.0.2 to be default browser in Windows 7, using a script or setup switch. "Firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser" does NOT work.

I want to set Firefox as default browser for all my users.
I can do this by opening Firefox and go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced and hit the "Check now" button. That works fine, but I need to accomplish this automatically.
Running setup with the -setDefaultBrowser switch does NOT work. Running "firefox.exe -silent -SetDefaultBrowser" after setup does NOT work.
Is this even possible? Or are we stuck with IE?

Thank you for your reply, however it really does not work for me.
I have Firefox installed, as well as Internet Explorer 9. If I check "Default Programs --> Set Default Programs" in Windows 7 it states that Internet Explorer is default.
If I create a shortcut on my desktop that points to "www.mozilla.org" for example, and double-click that shortcut, it will open in Internet Explorer.
I now run "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" with administrative privileges.
I look again in "Default programs" and i still says IE is default browser. If I click on my shortcut it still opens in IE.
If I change the setting manually from within Firefox it works fine.
Please help, I really can't make this work.

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

Great, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

Where do I report an application that is selling that does not work at all? "Translator with voice" for Ipad. I consider it shold have being filtered and not allowed to sell

I bought an application, the Translator with voice and does not work at all. I consider that is so pooly develop that is near a fraud. Where should I report it? Out of all imputs That I tried none was translated appropiate.

If it's not working as described then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Labview 2009 SP1 - Create exe option does not appear

Hello everyone,
I'm using Labview 2009 SP1 and I want to create a simple exe file (to run in the same computer that has labview or in any other computer with the appropiate labview run time engine).
I create a project with project explorer with the appropiate VI, everything OK for the moment, but when I right click on the menu "Build Specifications" of the project explorer I only have the options New and Help. If I click on New I only have "Source Distribution" and "Web Service (RESTful)" I would like to see the option Application and be able to create the EXE file.
Anyone knows how can i create simple EXE files or make the option "Application" to be visible?
Thanks for advance!
Much thanks for your time and dedication!

I guess you did not install the LabVIEW Application builder when you installed LabVIEW. When you do, it will allow you to create the exe and installer (You must be having a valid licence also).
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

Setup.exe file does not run after the download

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name East
- Filename All the disks, 1 through 3, have been downloaded and extracted.
- Date/Time Aug 7, 2002
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg
I am unable to run the setup.exe file in Disk1 directory. I think we need more information on how to install the server. Please help us ASAP.

I found out that besides setting the library, I should also set the classpath.
I tried to set the classpath by setting the environment variable CLASSPATH: path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
I also tried to set it with the command prompt:
CLASSPATH = path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
But when double clicking on my .exe file, it still does not run and I still get the NoClassDefFoundError.
Please help. Thanks!

I need to silently install the latest Mozilla firefox on Win7 machines, I do not see any .msi available and the /S or -S commands on the setup.exe installer does not work. Does someone know what can I do?

I need the silent install of firefox for image deployment.

For windows 7, you can use the -ms switch. For example, I have a batch file that works great. It contains the following:
@ECHO.
@Echo Installing Firefox
@start /wait "Firefox Setup 3.6.10.exe" -ms
However this does not seem to work well in windows XP. To get it to work in windows XP, I had to remove the spaces from the firefox installer and run the following command:
@start /wait FirefoxSetup3.6.10.exe -ms
If anyone has an easier way to get silent install working under XP (without renaming the firefox installer) please let me know!

Applications on my MacBook Pro does not work

I read an article of how to rename multiple files at once time using the automator. The point was to rename several files i had placed in one folder. However, when i run the program, it seems like my programming skills is not so good... the automator accidently renamed most of my files on my computer... The result is that most of my applications do not work (word, excel, powerpoint, final cut pro, app store etc.).
I did not activate time machine prior to making this error.
Do you have any suggestions about what to do to be able to reinstall these programs to my computer, especially since I cannot use the "App Store" application to download anything?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Downloaded Firefox v5 .exe file does not open (have downloaded twice now)

Downlaod and tried to start the ,exe file. Cursor span for a few seconds and then nothing.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
