Labview Installer creates folder called "Volume" for setup disks

I am using LabView Professional Development System (Version 8.0)
When I create an installer, I get an extra folder called "volume":
Example:
I ask it to build to the following location:
c:\temp1\my_program
It actaully builds to:
c:\temp1\my_program\volume
Does anyone know where the setting for this may be?  I would like to direct the build file to a single folder.

Greetings,
This is because the application builder can build a distribution that spans multiple media, such as multiple CDs (700MB).  The additional CD-sized chunks would be named Volume2, Volume3, etc.  But no, there is not a way to have it not create the "Volume" subdirectory, even if there is only one volume.

WesW / NI

     Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
     Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.

  • How to create folder within folder during compile AddOnInstaller setup disk

    Hi All,
    I tried to create AddOnInstaller using B1DE. When come to Add files portion, I only able to create 1 layer folder to insert my extra file through the wizard. Unfortunately, there are few layer folders in my add on solution such as AddOn\Pic\Icon... etc. Any solution or work around for this issue? Thanks.

    Hi Eric,
    The autogenerated project obtained from B1DE installer wizard contains all installation code copying your files into the AddOn folder.
    You can easily edit the AddOnInstallManager class generated inside your project and modify the method "ExtractFilesToAddOnPath" in order to create sulfolders for your files.
    All information you entered in the wizard steps is saved in AddOnInstallInfo class.
    If you make the treatment generic enough you will be able to reuse the same class for several installers.
    If you feel confortable with installers you could modify the wizard project to accept several folders layers. If not by simply modifyint the AddOnInstallManager class everything will work.
    Hope it helps
    Trinidad.

  • Labview installer creates bad permissions

    On Mac OS X, I just installed LV 8.20, VISA 4.0.1 and NI-DAQmx Base 2.1.
    After this process one of the installers changed the owner, group and permissions of /Library/Frameworks. This creates a potential security problem. Repair permissions will fix this, but it is wrong for the installer to do this. The permissions were correct just before I did the installation. I am not sure which of the installers did this, but I will post later as I figure this out.
    User differs on ./Library/Frameworks, should be 0, owner is 501
    Group differs on ./Library/Frameworks, should be 80, group is 501
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Frameworks, should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x
    Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Frameworks
    Permissions corrected on ./Library/Frameworks

    Wow, I just installed 8.5 and it does essentially the same thing. It is really nasty changing the /Library permissions. But also having the LabVIEW directory wide open is not good either!
    There is write permission to everything!!! This is great for mass compiles, but a wide open attack vector for anyone trying to install a trojan horse. Having your entire system compromised by this install is sort of annoying. There are some simple find commands that can fix most of this. The problem is sorting out the actual executables vs the VIs that should not have executable privelege.
    Do a Mass Compile from an admin account. Then do
    cd /Applications/National\ Instruments/LabVIEW\ 8.5
    find . \( ! -user root -o ! -group admin \) -type f -exec chmod 0664 \{\} \;
    find . \( ! -user root -o ! -group admin \) -type d -exec chmod 0775 \{\} \;
    Maybe fixed in LV 8.6??

  • Creating a bootable Volume for the MBA

    This post is kinda a follow-on to post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1386691&tstart=0
    I used Disk Utility to re-partition my internal SSD so that I could clone my Time Machine backup USB disk Volume to it using SD! version 2.5 (Leopard compatible). After this I disconnected the Time Machine USB disk from the MBA and re-connected another LaCie 40GB USB disk instead.
    I now did a remote boot from my G5's optical device and used the Installer to restore the SSD Time Machine clone to the direct attached LaCie disk. This went smoothly.
    I then restarted the MBA and held down the Option key and was able to select the attached LaCie USB disk and the MBA booted up nicely from it.
    So, now I have an alternative external means of booting my MBA is the internal SSD goes south or get corrupted in weird manner.

  • How to create multiple backup profiles for 2  disks?

    Before I screw this up, I wanted to check with others here to see if I'm correct with my plan to use 2 disks to create 2 different types of backups.
    I have 1 external HDD that's always hooked up to my iMac. This HDD is for full machine backups. However, I have a WD Passport drive that I want to use to back up multimedia (i.e. iTunes and iPhoto libraries). The last time I plugged in this drive, it screwed everything up... probably because Time Machine kicked in before I could exclude the Passport drive from the backup and the other HDD was near full.
    What I was thinking I need to do is:
    1.) Turn Time Machine off
    2.) Mount the Passport drive
    3.) Go into Time Machine perferences and select Change Disk
    4.) Go into Options and deselect everything except our iPhoto and iTunes libraries (yuck... there should be a way to just select what you want)
    5.) Turn Time Machine back on
    6.) Run the backup
    7.) Go back and change the disk back to my regular backup disk
    This is ugly and seems error prone. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps just deselect my Passport drive and write an Automator task for this? I'd like to do incremental backups, so that doesn't seem like a good solution either.
    Thanks

    Curt,
    Time Machine settings are machine-specific, not "backup-specific." In other words, any exclusions you make will persist across any backups you make.
    If you wish to make backups of your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, it would be better to do so manually. When you connect a drive that you might use for this purpose, simply open the Time Machine preferences and place that drive in the excluded list; there's no need to turn Time Machine off beforehand (if you exclude the drive while a backup is in progress, Time Machine will recover nicely and restart the backup).
    In making your "additional" backup, I recommend using optical media. Burn your music to audio CDs, which could be re-imported into iTunes. Do the same with your images, which you would naturally burn to CDs/DVDs according to event or subject, then file those disks in an organized fashion. This will help you to keep your images organized, and you will feel safe in deleting some content from iPhoto as your need for it approaches nil. This in turn will help in taking the load off both your startup disk space requirements and Time Machine requirements.
    A second external drive could be used to store those libraries, too, but I would do this in addition to the method described above. Optical disks, while bringing their own vulnerabilities, are less prone to failure than hard drives. One might lose the data on a single CD/DVD due to damage, but the rest would be OK. Store everything on one hard drive, and every file is dependent on the vitality of that one device. Overall, optical media wins out on this score. Then, there is the important issue of organization. A single drive allow one to be sloppy; use of optical media encourages (perhaps even enforces) the use of some type of file organization.

  • ITunes creating duplicate files under a hidden folder named "Volumes".

    It seems my iTunes program is secretly making a duplicate file in a hidden folder called "Volumes" on my laptop hard drive. It's now maxxed out my drive and I need to both remove the "Volumes" folder and make sure it doesn't get created and happen again.
    Details:
    Using a Powerbook G4 with an 80gb drive. Using iTunes 8. The iTunes library program is in the usual place on the lap top hard drive but the music library folder, where all the files get saved to, is on an external drive labeled "Media".
    Clicking normally and searching around my laptop hard drive, I do not see or am able to access the folder named "Volumes". But I know it exists as I ran a scan program called jdiscreport and it clearly shows a huge folder, 45gb, named "Volumes". There are also a few old flacs in the "Volume folder also. The iTunes duplicate files are in identically named folders as the external drive: iTunes Music located within Media, located within Volumes.
    When I rip a CD in iTunes (or the iTunes-LAME program I sometimes use), the files do go to the proper external folder as expected and as I've set in the iTunes preferences section. So why is iTunes also saving the same thing to this mystery "Volumes" folder on the lap top hard drive? How do I get rid of this folder without wiping my drive? How do I stop it from continuing?
    Help, I have 2gb of free space left!
    Thanks, James

    Hi I am having a similar issue, It all started when I tried to restore from the Time Machine and it threw a error back stating that there is no disk available. I was wondering how come and went to find out what is happening and was shocked to find out that actually my entire Macintosh HD has a duplicate copy inside the /Volumes folder. I went to the XTERM to investigate and found that the / (root) has a Users folder where all my stuffs like pictures, music, movies, documents reside and the same data or content is duplicated in the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder
    I first thought that it was only a link, but I later found that it is not a link and it is indeed a physical copy of all my User folders inside the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder and actually occupying my Hard disk space.
    I am not sure how this happened or how it is duplicating itself. I am also afraid to delete the stuffs inside the /Volumes folder as it might crash my system (it is already hidden - I assume it is hidden for some purpose). Please suggest any options, how I can get rid of these duplicated data and how to avoid such duplication in the future.
    Thanks

  • Mac OS 10.5.6 Can't update CS3 I created a Specific Volume to Adobe

    Hi, anyone can help me?
    I created a specific Volume for Adobe software, and then installed CS3. But, the thing is that when I tried to run the updates, but seems impossible to adobe updater to see that I've installed CS3 on another volume. Can I fix this or I have to uninstall CS3 and then install again on the main volume?
    Thanks

    Ricardo,
    Don't create a special folder or volume. Don't move the folders. Don't rename the folders. Let Adobe install install its software at its defaults. If you must have the software in a different location, create and use aliases instead. Or put your Adobe apps in the Dock. That is the probably the most reliable way to install, update and manage Adobe apps.

  • BUG: Call Volume - Z2 & S90

    Lenov Z2 (not Pro) and Lenovo S90 are suffering from a Call Volume bug of the receiver. Several users have reported here (but also people I know personally) that the Call Volume for these units is too low compared to other phones, in particular for the Lenovo Z2 phones.  
    It is barely manageable to hear the other side in a quiet environment like in your home, but while outside of your home (e.g. street or a shop), you can not hear the caller properly. If they speak quietly, you can't even hear them properly at home. This problem seems more pronounced for the Lenovo Z2 than Lenovo S90.
    I had this issue on two phones already (Lenovo Z2 and Lenovo S90) and other users reported this problem also for Lenovo Z2, here is a screen shot from this post:
    Strangely, the Call Volume of the receiver on Skype is of sufficient quality for me. So that is quite strange that the call volume for the calls is too low. Thus, I hope this is only a software issue and you can set the volume higher for calls?
    Finally, let me also restate that this issue  was posted to this forum a few times, so I hope that someone from Lenovo could finally address it. I list a few posts that describe this problem:
    Post 1: link
    Post 2: link
    Post 3: link
    In my view a quarter of extra volume would be good. Most of the volume settings are at 50% (e.g. ring tone) but call volume always needs to be at 100% and even that is sometimes not enough. Could you add it up in an update? Or put an option to boost call volume by e.g. 25% in accessibly settings?
    P.S. Also one thing that I noticed is that Security App is doing something during the calls that I don't know what that is and how to stop it, it is called Anti-tapping and I am not sure if that can interfere with the call quality or not. I would be quite interested to know what the Anti-tapping does?

    Thanks, wangwei. Here is a new idea that could lead to a new cheap feature. Depending on your tests, you could either adjust the call volume as it is. Or you could put a new feature in settings to increase (adjust) the call volume. I.e. by clicking a new toggle switch the user could increase his call volume if he desires to or leave it as it is.
    This could be a nice feature that several users could welcome - for example those who are using the phone in loud environments (e.g. factory managers, people working in a bar, commuters) or those who have who have a preference for louder call volume in general (which seems to be my case and a few others who wrote on this forum).
    As of yet ,no other mainstream phone seems to have a feature to max call volume for users who want to max it, or leave it on stadarnd level for those who want it as it is. This new feature could go for example in "Audito Profiles", or in "Settings > Features" or in "Dialer > Options > More features and settings"
    Finally, strangely, your new Lenovo P70-A has amazing call quality and different call-volume software than S90 and Z2. Thus you could also test S90-A & Z2 versus your own Lenovo P70-A, which I found to have excellent call quality overall comparable to Meizu MX4 in sound and clarity. Not sure why it has a different firmware for call volume.
    P.S. Lenovo P70 is currently the best selling phone in Slovakia, selling better than Iphone or any other phone on the market during this month.  Congratulations to your teams who created this phone. The only downside of P70-A seems to be the  weak performance of the selfie camera despite the 5MP (can PM my selfie test results if interested).

  • Multiple libraries/smart playlists for different disks, or sort by location

    Hey.
    My iTunes music is physically stored on my computer's local hard disk, on an external hard disk, and on a remote server from which I stream online. When my computer is disconnected from my external hard disk or from the internet, I don't want to seeing unreachable tracks in my iTunes library; I'd rather have a list of songs which are available for me to play. I'd like to create multiple libraries, one for each disk.
    Or I'd like to create smart playlists which automatically fill with content from specified locations (as opposed to content added by artist, duration, last playtime, etc).
    Or I'd like to be able to sort my library based on physical file location.
    As far as I've searched, this isn't yet possible. Anyone know how to make this work, or know how to suggest this feature to Apple?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. This worked but it doesnt seem to be consistent.. not sure if the fact that I have a smart playlist based on another smart playlist (only because I want 5 anded conditions + 1 or'd which is playcount=0) and hence something goes wrong?
    Any better way overall to manage these?  I now have 4 pairs of these.
    Also, any way to have a Smart Playlist that selects only video?  They have the Media Kind = Podcast, but no Media Type = Video..
    Many thanks,

  • LabVIEW cannot locate some components necessary to build the installer - looking for "Setup" installer

    Hi,
    I have an application that has been upgraded to LabVIEW 8.  I have previously been able to build the exe and installer but recently the installer part of the build has been failing with the following error message:
    Unable to locate the installer source for "Setup" distribution.
    Locate the distribution and try again
    The dialog includes a file path prompt that is pointing at the Installer\Volume directory where Installer is the target directory for the build.  The installer build is configured to span CD-sized volumes (650MB)
    There are no sources or support files named anything like Setup that I can see.
    The installer includes DaqMX and the LabVIEW 8 runtime engine as additional installers
    The build works ok If I turn off the DaqMX driver installer

    I used Time Machine to recover my Pictures folder. This created a folder called Pictures (original) but I cannot open it.  There is a do not enter roadsign, red disk and white bar on it.  How can I see the contents?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.

Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can I create more than one program shortcuts in LabView Installer?

    I have builded 3 executable files in LabView Application Builder. I want to create an installer (using the same application builder) that can copy the 3 files to the same destiny directory, install the Runtime Engine and create (in the same program group) 3 shortcuts for the executables. Is it possible with LabView Installer?

    The Application Builder does not offer this option. It is really intended as a basic installer builder. However, you can use other software packages to enhance your isntaller. There are many third party installer builders that you can use to modify the msi file which the application builder create for you. You might want to check one of those out and use it for your application.
