10Gr2 Run Time Install

Hi, I have installed OWB on our unix server and I'm trying to install the runtime environment. Previously (and according to the current documentation) this would require running runtimeinst.sh but I cannot find this file in the entire OWB_HOME
Is this an install issue or has the runtime deployment changed?
Cheers
Al

Looks like I was reading the 10.1 documentation......... great.
Any tips on how the install should proceed will be welcomed.
Cheers

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?

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

How to include LabVIEW Run-Time in executable file ?

Hello folks,
I have an application that need the user to simply calling executable file without setting up LabVIEW run-time because my executable file will be posted in LAN and anyone can run it remotely. What should I do? Any help very appreciate...
Thanks so much

You have to have labVIEW run-time installed on your computer in order to run a LabVIEW programs (vi or exe). What you can do when you distribute an exe file is to create an installer which lets you install LabVIEW run-time and create a menu item (in Windows) in the Start>>Programs menus. Then you can distribute the whole package and after running the installer, LabVIEW run time as well as the exe is installed.
You can do this in the installer settings of the Application builder (when you create the .exe file). Go to the "Advanced" section. There you can add the LabVIEW run-time Engine to the installer.
One other possibility you can do if several people want to use the programm over Lan is to use the LabVIEW webserver. You can run a programm somewhere on the
network and other people can open the front panel in their Webbrowser. But maybe that's not exactly what you want. ??

Run Time from a USB stick

Hello,
I'm working on a simple VI using the SMTP send file function, which will be run from a USB stick. The executable works well save for that it needs to run from the stick on computers without Run Time installed. I have Run Time 8.5 installed on the stick, in the X:\Program Files\National Instruments\ folder, but the application can't find the RTE to execute. It needs to find it automatically, since several people (all untrained in LabView) will be inserting the stick into various remote Windows computers in order to send the emails and attachments. Another potential problem is the varying drive letter assignment given to the USB stick, but that doesn't seem to be the current problem. Any suggestions?
Setup:
WinXP
LV 8.5
Thanks,
Mark

In some cases it possible, if you not using packages which should be installed, like IMAQ, VISA, etc...
But do not install RunTime on the memory stick (because some paths will be stored in the registry - you may get troubles with your PC when stick will be removed).
Try to do following (without guarantees, but may work):
1. Copy <Program Files>\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\x.x directory to your USB stick (x.x - LabVIEW version which was used for your project)
2. Place your builded application into this directory on USB stick (executable should be located at the same place where lvrt.dll located)
3. Try to start it on the PC without RunTime.
hopefully it helps,
Andrey.

LabVIEW 8 Run-Time Eninger on 2011 Startup

Hey All,
Weird issue here where the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time engine trys to install/configure itself everytime I start the 2011 development environment. Has anyone ever seen this?
It quickly goes to a prompt asking for...
"The Feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
Clock OK to try again or enter an anternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'lv82runtime.msi' in the box below.
Why would it be asking for this at all? It tries to install itself 3-4 times before finally launching the development environment.
Regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,
That is odd behavior, there could be a corrupt file in you run time install. I would suggest repairing your LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run Time Engine. Refer to the document below for repairing NI software.

LabVIEW 8 run time

Am upgrading from 7.0 to 8. Is Run Time compiled with the .exe during
the build? Does Run Time install with the .exe on the target machine?
Are there any hoops to jump through during the build, or target
installations?
Instructions for 8 Run Time seem to be slim.
newbieDLD

The run-time engine isn't really compiled with your built application since it's a separate program. You can, however, include the installer as part of your build so that when you deploy your application you will also distribute the run-time engine with it. From the LabVIEW documentation:
If you use the Application Builder to build an installer for an application or shared library, you can add the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine to the installer build. From the Additional Installers page of the Installer Properties dialog box, place a checkmark in the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine checkbox in the National Instruments Installers to Include listbox.
Generally, the run-time engine is a separate install, and the installer for it is included on the LabVIEW CD, or you can download it from NI: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/1F1EBEA6D03A67E6862570A400531F97?opendocument&node=13206...

DAQmx Run Time 5 + LV Application Support

Hi
I want to use the DAQmx RT 5 installer for a smaller foot print install.
The only other thing I need is support for LV 8.x
But I don't want to go to a bigger run time install if I can help it.
Is there any installer available that installs all the LabVIEW VIs needed for DAQmx?
If I had this, I can keep the size down on my installer.
I tried moving files manually but it didn't work, I am guessing that it registers it somewhere?
Is there an installer avialable or does anyone have a work around?
Cheers

Thanks guys for your posts, however I think you have misinterpreted my original post, so I will try again:
Obivously I need the LabVIEW run time installed. But I am talking DAQmx - when you install DAQmx you need to install the main "Run Time", but you also need to install the VIs that you use in your application otherwise it will be broken. When you create an exe these are not included in the build. There are in VI.lib, but they are not in the LabVIEW 8.x Run Time they are in the DAQmx Run Time. I am trying to use the smallest Run Time possible to minimise it's footprint. However, you have to go to the big one to install ADE support. If I could use DAQmx RT 5 + get my hands on a seperate ADE installer for LabVIEW (I imagine this would not be large in size) it would be SWEET!
I am pretty sure the ADE DAQmx VIs get installed here - C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\DAQmx and that location is used for the Run Time as well. I am at work but I have been playing around at home so I can't check right now. I tried to copy and paste them, or include them in my installer, it does not work (I am thinking something is registered when using the NI installer or I am missing something)
E.g. The Run Time 5 does not include the following:
NI LabVIEW SignalExpress
Application development environment (ADE) support for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio
The DAQ Assistant
NI-DAQmx documentation
LabVIEW Real-Time support
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
Not having ADE support for LabVIEW means that your exe will be broken. I don't need all the other stuff just whatever is in DAQmx RT5 and ADE support!
I am looking for a small install (from NI?) that could do this. Is this available?
Cheers

Can't install run-time engine on Ubuntu 8.04. Get /bin/sh failed to load.

Simply receive a message when trying to install the LabView run-time engine .rpm file that says /bin/sh failed to load (or is required, I forget exactly). I checked, I have BASH installed, and /bin/sh is a shortcut to an executable on my machine. Is this a bug in the installer, or is there something else I need?

LabVIEW installation is not supported on Debian based Linux systems (of which Ubuntu is the most popular). However, many people have had success installing to various flavors of Ubuntu. You can search these forums using the key Ubuntu and find the problems they had and how they solved them. If you cannot find an answer to your problem, let us know.

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

NI-LabVIEW run-time engine interop 2010 failed to install

Hi,
While installing Labview 2010 (32 bit) I got an error message:
NI-LabVIEW run-time engine interop 2010 installation has failed with the following error:
Error 1935. .... (see the .ppt for screenshot if interested)... HRESULT 0x8002802F
I googled HRESULT 0x8002802F and found a page that said that this error is usually b/c of a missing/corrupt entry in the registry: file %windir%\system32\mscoree.dll, and that "repairing the highest version of the .NET Framework on the system will correct any problems resulting from this error."
I have verified that mscoree.dll is not present, and I don't have the .NET Framework installed on my system. SO, I have the following questions:
1) do you concur with the advice given on the page referenced re: the reason for the error;
2) If so, should I install .NET Framework, and what do I then need to do in LabVIEW to tell it that the .dll is now present?
3) If your opinion is other, what do you advise?
Cheers

Labview Installation error.ppt ‏227 KB

Hi Luke,
After doing some research, there are two possible solutions.
1) According to a KB, it could be your antivirus. You may want to try to turn off any spyware blocking software such as Ad-Aware, Norton, etc and try the installation again.
2) Another customer had the same error, and they got it working by installing .NET 3.5 from Microsoft's website and then installing LabVIEW again.
Hope one of those options work for you!

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.

Is there a way to install exe of a vi on an XP machine without LV run-time and not have to restart?

Hi,
I need to deploy an application that reads channels from a FP module for testing purposes. The problem is, I cannot restart the system I need to install this on because it is running critical control software which cannot be interrupted. The system does not have the labview run-time engine and I know installing this requires a restart of XP probably due to registering DLLs or something.
I'm using "Fieldpoint Network Read" to read from the module. The simple answer would be to simply install this on a machine on the same network that I can restart. However, I have no such luxury because I am connecting to the system in question over a long distance VPN connection and I need to be able to poll the data from the FP every 250ms which may be too much for the connection.
So basically, I need to find a way to read data from this FP in a manner similar to "FP Network Read" without restarting the system. Is there any way to do this with labview? Alternatively, I may be able to write this app using LabWindows since I know some software is already running on that machine programmed with that.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first thing I'd say is that a restart may not be necessary. I have in the past installed LabVIEW development environment and when asked I said I would restart later. Then I opened LabVIEW and started coding. I'm not sure what it thinks it needs to restart for but it may not be required.
The other thing I'd like to mention is that LabVIEW 7.1 and older can run EXEs without needing to install a run time engine. So it is possible to build a EXE in 7.1, then include some files and DLLs in the same directory as the EXE, and when it is ran it will use them. There's probably issues with talking to DAQ devices without MAX and I have no idea how you address this but it is another possibility.
Of course you already know the best answer and that is to reboot the system when most convenient.

Is it possible to choose the serial port if only the run time engine is installed

I have an application, which communicates over the serial port. When I use the full version of Labview I can change the serial port without any problem from Com1 to Com2 (similar to the example “Hardeware input output -> serial -> Labview serial vi"). When I build an application and try to run this program on a computer where only the run time engine 6.1 is installed, it is not possible to choose the serial port. Since there is no “Measurement and Automation Explorer” available on the run time engine and no directory C:\VXIpnp is created, when the run time engine is installed, I do not see a way, how I can satisfy the computer with the information it needs for configuring
the different ports. Any suggestions?

Hi Daniel,
Before LV6.1 there was LV5.1 In LV5.1 the way to Spedify a resource was to use a string control with correct VIsa Resource Class identifier. For eg. "GPIB0::11" or "ASRL1::INSTR". With Introduction of VISA Resource Name Control and linking with MAX, These names are Available from Pull Down List and Can be Aliased, meaning ASRL1 which is Serial Port 1 can be called COM1 and so on. However the old method still works with all 6.1 Controls. Only thing is you have to make sure you Dont Conflict the Class Names ie Use "GPIB::.." instead of "ASRL..." when addressing Serial Port VI's.
To solve your Problem I would Build a Menu ring with COM1 to COM4 in the Pull Down List.
Next, If I use the Traditonal Serial Port VI wich accepts the Integer as Seria
l Port #. I just Wire the Menu Ring to this VI.(Remember COM1 is 0, COM2 is 1 for this VI)
If I use VISA Config Serial Post. I build an Array Constant with Corresponding VISA Class Names So in our case a String Array Constant of 4 elements "ASRL1::INST" to "ASRL4::INST". I Use Index Array Function With the Index Wired to my Menu Ring. The Array Input Terminal Wired to the Array Constant. The Output of this Array will be correct Visa Class Name Based on slection of my Menu Ring. I can Wire this as Input to my VISA Config Serial Port Vi.
I have attached a Small VI to Illustrate this.
Drawback: You must Predefine what Ports you will Want to Use. Basically you define all the cases.
I hope this Answers your Q!
Good Luck

Install labview 6.1 (or compatible) run-time engine with labview 2011

I have installed a trial period version of Labveiw 2011 in order to check for possible upgrade issues I may have if I decide to upgrade from labveiw 6.1. Well, needless to say there have been alot. That is as expected since I have not updated labview in many years. I am still not under any pressure to update; however, I would like to in order to get support and make sure I do not have any compatibility issues with new equipment purchases. I have been able to resolve most of my compatibility issues with simple code fixes and such. However, twice now I have run into an error when launching labview executeables compiled by two different equipment manufacturers. The equipment I am using is not even old...maybe a year or so. When I launch the labview executables to control this equipment on a PC that has the trial period labview 2011 installed, I get an error message stating something like " This requires a Labview 6.1 (or compatible) run time engine." I have tried to download and install the 6.1 labivew engine but I can't install this engine on a PC which has labview 2011 installed. Can someone explain how I am to run these executables under labview 2011. I can't imagine these executables were developed using 6.1 since this equipment is not even a year old now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Im not for sure I am on the same page with you here. Im not trying to develop any code myself. I have some labview executables that came with hardware we purchased in order to control it. We used to have labview 6.1 installed; so everything was working ok. But now that I have installed 2011, I get an error message when trying to run these executables. The error message states that this executable requires a labview 6.1 or compatible run-time engine. I have seen this error on both XP and Windows 7 machines. I did not develop the executable, it was developed by the hardware manufacturer. But since this hardware is only about 1 year old, I an assuming they used a newer version of Labview to develop this code. Certianly newer than 6.1.
So I guess my question is..is there a way for me to get this executable to work on a PC that has labview 2011 installed. I have tried to install a labview 6.1 run time engine but it will not install. Any other options?
