You're right!
What happened to the text .....?
Here it is:
Once again the list of "Additional Installers" at my installer build specification is empty (has been discussed here several times). I'd like to try the reg files mentioned here:

How to add NI-VISA Configuration Support to list of additional installers

I recently changed computers and now I am trying to use an installer that I made with the old computer, but one of the additional installers I had selected was the NI-VISA Configuration Support. How do get that installed to my new computer so it will available in the list of additional installers?

if it's not in your 'old' installer then you did not include it in the build.
You will have to download the correct version from NI ... this is the link for the 5.4

There is a good chance if you install the latest NI VISA your program will run again!

Upgrade to LabVIEW 2012 caused Additional Installers issue

Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
I have been using LabVIEW 2010 (SP1) for a while on my Windows XP computer, but I recently purchased and installed LabVIEW 2012 for a future project. In the meantime, my previous projects must still use LabVIEW 2010 until I use my company's formal change tracking system to upgrade them. However, when I recently opened one of my older projects in 2010 to update it and rebuild the installer, I saw in the Additional Installers tab a bunch of blank lines at the end of the list (see attached screenshot). This doesn't directly hurt me, but I have to think it is a symptom of the root problem.
More directly relevant, the NI VISA Run-Time 5.0.3 that had been checked previously was now missing, and the NI VISA Run-Time 5.2 that had replaced it was NOT checked. That seems like an upgrade oops on National Instruments' part to me. I decided it was just a quirk, and that the 2012 installer had replaced my 5.0.3 version with the 5.2 version (deleting the old version), so I checked the 5.2 version to build my installer, and after requiring my DVD to copy the software to my computer, that seemed to work ok.
Now the immediate problem: when I distributed the project file to a colleague who only has LabVIEW 2010, she was not able to build my software's installer, because it asked her for the "FADEC_Emulator" disk. "FADEC_Emulator" is the name of my software. Expanding the error dialog showed that it wanted that disk in order to get access to NI VISA Run-Time 5.0.3. Opening the properties of the installer in the project file within LabVIEW showed NI VISA Run-Time 5.0.3 checked. However, opening the project file with Wordpad showed that NI VISA Run-Time 5.2 was listed as an additional installer (and NOT 5.0.3). Maybe her system saw that I wanted NI VISA Run-Time 5.2, and automatically replaced it with the latest version it had, 5.0.3? Confusing! And if it did that, why didn't it have that version handy already? And switching versions like that seems like it would be a bad idea to do silently, in case I was relying on a feature specific to the new version.
I'm afraid that since installing LabVIEW 2012 my system has gotten into an unstable state, and I now have possibly corrupted my project's LV project file. I need to have both 2010 and 2012 on my computer for the time being.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my system, and/or how to fix it?
Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions and time!

Hi Joe,
I tried to reproduce your issues, and encountered mixed results. Please verify with what I've provided below that we are testing under the same conditions

In this scenario, I built a test project with VISA RT 5.0.3 and LabVIEW 2010 configuration. I then installed LabVIEW 2012 and VISA 5.2.0 on top of the aforementioned setup. When I opened the 2010 project in 2012, VISA Run-Time 5.2 was checked (as expected, dissimilar to your configuration). As I mentioned earlier, this may have been because VISA 5.2.0 did not install properly.

For this case, I built the installer on LabVIEW 2012 with VISA RT 5.2.0 then saved it for LabVIEW 2010 compatiblity. When I opened the installer in a LabVIEW 2010 with VISA 5.0.3 environment, VISA 5.0.3 was checked (as expected since LabVIEW will default to the latest version of VISA on the PC regardless of what the original installer referenced). I did, however, see three extra blank lines in the additional installers tab (more on this below) . I also tried to build the installer as you indicated, but did not get any prompts for disks and was able to build successfully.
One thing to keep in mind is that LabVIEW by default will use the version of the driver that is installed on the build PC, regardless of whether it is newer or older than the installer references. If you feel this negatively impacts your successes as a developer, please feel free to post a feature request (e.g. for a prompt when the driver version changes) in our idea exchange forum (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/idb-p/labviewideas ).
Lastly, regarding the empty lines in the additional installer specifications, this problem appears to be fixed in LabVIEW 2012 and only manifests itself in 2010. During my course of testing, this did not affect building the installers and is a minor inconvenience which has been fixed in subsequent versions.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions/comments regarding these issues.

Installing NI-RIO with Additional Installers in Applicaion Builder

Is it possible to install NI-RIO device drivers in a stand-alone
installer created from the application builder in Labview 8.2? I can't
seem to find NI-RIO as an option in the Additional Installers page when
building an installer. My target systems is a PC running Windows XP
SP2 with a PCI-7833R.
What are the steps to installing a built Labview 8.2 application that
uses a PCI-7833R with the application builder? Do I have to run the
NI-RIO installer separately from my application installer? Can I
install NI-RIO from the command line with the option of a silent
install like NI-DAQ (see this link)?

I installed NI-RIO v2.1 with the /q option from a command prompt like this:
setup.exe /q /AcceptLicenses yes
It took a while but it worked. NI-RIO v2.1 spans 2 CDs. The silent install never asked for CD 2 of 2.
My build application that accesses the PCI-7833R card works fine installing NI-RIO with the /q option.
Heres a list of NI software that was installed:
NI CompactRIO 2.1.0
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1
NI LabWindows/CVI 8.0.1 Run-Time Engine
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.1
NI PXI Platform Services for Windows 2.1.0
NI-RIO FCF 2.2.0
NI-Serial 3.1
NI-VISA 4.0
NI-VISA Runtime 4.0
NI-VISA Server 4.0
The following can be included as additional installers with the Labview 8.2 application builder:
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1
NI LabWindows/CVI 8.0.1 Run-Time Engine
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.1
NI-Serial 3.1
NI-VISA Runtime 4.0
NI-VISA Server 4.0
By including the above list of additional installers, can I create an
installer (and application) that uses the PCI-7833R card not having a
separately install NI-RIO first? I haven't tried yet but I will and
report back my findings.
The following NI software would be missing (i.e. not available as an additional installer from the application builder):
NI CompactRIO 2.1.0 (not using any cRIO)
NI PXI Platform Services for Windows 2.1.0 (not using any PXI stuff)
NI-RIO FCF 2.2.0 (this sounds like something I will need NI-RIO FPGA Communications Framework)
NI-VISA 4.0 (this might be something thats needed too)

NI-VISA does not appear in the addition installers window

Its seems that i cannot add any NI-VISA packages to my "additional installers" window.
The dev system has VISA 4.0 and LV 8.0 and even after downloading and installing the VISA runtime especially to fix this problem, i still cannot see it in the list!!! There also seems to be lots more missing from what i have seen in screenshots on previous posts. Why oh why is this happening!

Thanks for your reply! It seems to have worked a treat!
I did the following steps:
1. uninstalled VISA 4.0 and DAQmx 8.x
2. installed DAQmx 8.6 (i wanted to upgrade to this a some point anyway)
3. installed VISA 4.2
I can now open the Installer Properties => Additional Installers window and have the following options:
and now that i can select the Measurement and Automation Explorer it has solved a second issue for me that i posted on this forum (see:
Problems with building and installer - hardware config). An error used to occur when i tried to include the "Hardware Configuration from MAX" but there are no errors now. Im sure it has something to do with also including the MAX in your installer. See Below:

Application Builder: Additional Installers Source Location

I am having trouble creating an installer for my application. I can build the installer when I only inculde the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, but I also need NI-FieldPoint for LabVIEW Real-Time and NI-VISA Runtime. When I try to include these I run into problems.
I think the problem is that I installed some of these from the discs, but now my company has an installer on the network that I have used as well, so now I don't have the discs. Is there a way to change the Installer Source Location in the Installer Properties? When I try to build the installer I am asked if I have the discs, but I do not. I want to be able to get the installers from my company's network or maybe I can download them from ni.com and have them on my computer, but I need to know how to change the Installer Source Location.
I reinstalled NI-VISA Runtime from my company's network and the Installer Source Location changed to the network location (which is what I thought I wanted), but it still asks for CDs and if I click throught I get the following errors:
CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem.vi

When I build the application, I get a lvapp.lib.tmp file in the temp directory, but I get no new temp files when I try to build the installer.
I would also like to point out that if if I uncheck FieldPoint 6.0.1 from the Additional Installers, and select either FieldPoint 6.0 or FieldPoint 6.0.3 (which are other optiions that show up in the list), I still get the same error as above that references 6.0.1

DHCP client list empty on WRT310N

This has happened all 3 times I reset my router to default settings. I see the list of clients, no problem. However, when I adjust the QoS for my desktop's MAC address, the client list empties, and from that point on, it stays empty, although 3+ clients are connected. Removing any QoS settings won't alleviate my problem, either. I have to reset to factory defaults again.

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Linksys Router. If not then Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.. .......insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

The second sign is of headset connected. If it is present without any headset connected then contact Nokia Care. The first sign is not that clear. Is it a lock? Also sice when is the dialled number shown as empty? If its recent you will have to contact Nokia care as you've done all that can be done by a user.

I have had this happen twice - the main screen shows missed calls but when you look at calls list it is empty. Same software version as you. The only way I have found to get it back to normal is to reset the phone.

Require additional installers?

Hey,
I am looking for advice on the following, I am attempting to build a stand alone application, i am unsure as to how to go about achieving this as its the first time i have attempted it. I have built an application with my main vi as the start up vi and all the dependencies are attached so there are no vis to choose from for the source files for the always included window.
My next step was to build an installer, i assume the source files to attach to this is the one i selected for the start up in building the stand alone application. Now within my vi i use NI-IMAQdx 4.0 aquisition software i was wondering what additional installers i require or will my code execute? Do i need to add drivers etc.
Regards,
Damien

Hi guys,
I have added the NI-IMAQ 4.7.0, NI-IMAQdx 4.0.0, the chroma driver, NI-Serial and the NI-VISA Configuration support 5.2, NI-VISA Runtime 5.2 and NI-VISA Server 5.2. Do i install Vision Run-Time Engine 2012 also?
I have a serial number for the labview professional development licence and it contained the vision acquisition module along with the vision builder and toolkits etc. I also have a different serial number this is the vision development module run time licence which is the vision acquisition product. So this is the one i activate on the deployed computers? Thanks for the help i am just a bit cautious as to what i can activate.
Thanks
Damien

Additional Installers

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
We purchased a PXI8101 w Windows 7 and using Labview 2012. In the other PXI slots we have PXI6230, PXI2564, 2503 and 4065. From the Knowledge Base I understand I must include DAQmx for the 6230 in the additional installations tab of the application builder. I'm going to port to a target machine.
1) What drivers do I need for the other PXI cards to include ( additional installations tab) or does the daqmx support those? The 2564, 2530 and 4065??
2) do I need to include the MAX config.nce file?? I've given my DMM and relay cards "names" in MAX but I thought that was just for my interaction. In other words when I call up a vi that uses the DMM the id is DMM. When you create the exe the front panel goes away so does it still need MAX??
3) There are links on some discussion grp pages that are suppose to take you to the latest RT engine for LV but they're blank. Is that only if you need to purchase?? We have the full developemnt sys. Is the RTE included?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wow lots of questions, sorry if I miss any.
Lets start with the Run-Time Engine (RTE). LabVIEW's RTE is free for deployment EXEs. If you build a EXE, then you build an installer, under the Additional Installers you'll want to select the RTE for the EXE you built. This is selected by default so no worries there. Then when you install this on a fresh normal Windows machine, a basic normal LabVIEW EXE should run. Your EXE may use other toolkits and need more additional installers. Which ones is an educated guess if you are unfamiliar with it. In 2013 NI made a way for the installers needed to be automatically selected. I haven't tried this but bet it is prone to issues. It can be partially a trial an error process. Build the EXE, build the installer, run the installer on a fresh machine and see if it runs without error. If the EXE is broken it will try to suggest the component needed. Then you'll need to figure out what is needed in the additional installers to make it work.
In your case you will need DAQmx that is a given and you mentioned it. You will probably only need the DAQmx Core Runtime, and DAQmx MAX Configuration Support. Do you use a serial port? Then you'll also need the VISA Runtime. Do you use XNET? Then you'll need to include that. This will make your installers baloon in size, but it will include all the needed drivers for all DAQ hardware/VISA/XNET based on what is selected. The goal is to make a single installer that you run and a fresh machine can run the EXE with.
As for the MAX config. In your code if you reference a physical channel, virtual channel, task, scale, or hardware by the alias made in MAX then you will need this same alias on your deployed system. The easiest way to do this is probably to make an Export in MAX of your config, then in your installer settings there is a page for Hardware Configuration and you can provide a NCE file to get imported after the install is done. For this to work properly you'll want the hardware in the system before the install, otherwise you'll need to import the NCE again after the hardware is installed.
EDIT: Here is a link to the LabVIEW 2012 SP1 RTE. You don't need to download this, checking the RTE from the additional installers is all that is needed, but I wanted to show you the link where you can get the RTE for free.

HT1386 my ipad will not sinc with my computer - it lists it but it has an additional computer listed in which it looks for the sinc option how do I get rid of the bogus computer

When attempting to share music on Itunes with my IPad I receive a message telling me that my Ipad contents will be eraced if I attempt to sinc with this computer. Under General settings it lists my computer and a bogus computer. If I sinc it will I lose all the contents on my Ipad or only the music library which is empty?

Does this apply?

Adding additional song lists without erasing the previous content in the iPhone.

Hi
Is there a way to add additonal songs in the iPhone without deleting the songs already stored in the iPhone.
The problem is that most of the original songs stored in the PC has been erased in order to free up hard disk space.
Hence everytime when I link up the iPhone to the PC in order to add additional songs, the iPhone would sync itself to the iTune and erase what's already in the iPhone only to store the new songs.
If possible, I'd like to add not just single song multiple times but rather lists of songs in multiple folders at a time.
Thank you for your help.

You need to deauthorize your previous laptop and start using the new mac book. However, the songs will be erased as it only allow to sync with one iTunes at one time. I'm scared you have to add those songs from back up. Your photos also will be deleted if you choose to sync with new mac book. For contact and calendar, you will have the option to merge or to erase.

Message Monitor List Empty

Hello All,
Working on MII12.1.6 Build 96, NW7.1 SP03
With my user name, I'm logging to MII on 2 different workstations, at the same time.
1st one is showing the messages received on the defined listeners in the Message Monitor.
2nd one showing "No data was found in result" ..
On the two stations we have the same browser versions, same JRE level, same everything (standard clean setup).
Anybody seen this happening before? What are your suggestions for the steps I should take to display the messages received by MII in the Message Monitor on both workstations using the default search pattern (i.e. all messages on all listeners, all types of message statuses)?
many thanks,
paul.

Hi Paul,
we have experienced something similar (empty Message Monitor list). It was due to different language settings in the NetWeaver UME user setting and the browser. Maybe you check if the language settings of the workstations and are different.
