Application Builder demands NI-DAQ 8.0 - but NI-DAQmx 8.5 is selected

Hi,
I developed a project with LV 8.0.1. Now I switched to 8.2.1 and want to build an installer. I chose two additional installers, one of them is DAQmx 8.5 (the installer built by LV 8.0.1 included DAQmx 8.0).
When I want to build the installer the problem occurs: It wants to have the "NI-DAQ 8.0" Software Package. I put in all LV 8.2.1 CDs as well as all LV 8.0 CDs plus the DAQ 8.0 installation disk... w/o success.
When I uncheck DAQmx 8.5 from the additional installers, it doesn't want to have NI-DAQ 8.0 - but unfortunately I need DAQmx for my project.
Thanks in advance!
Robert

Hi Robert,
The installer for the NI-DAQmx don't install automatically onto your PC.
When you click by the point "Additional Installers" (your picture "Pakete") on NI-DAQmx, you will see which path is set for the installer.
The installer is usually on the NI DriverCD where you set the path to the directory where "nidist.id" is stored.
You could find the three device driver CDs on our homepage

Including a Pre-Built LLB in Application Builder 8.X

I have just recently updated some old code to 8.5.1. This code contains many dynamic calls to VIs located in pre-built LLBs (LLBs that were saved prior to application builder). This application is also compatible with a priority plug-in architecture. So when creating an application or installer in app builder 8.X, how does one include a LLB file? I do not wish to build it. I just want to include it the same way you may include a text file or someother type of source file. LLB files do not show up as individual files in the Project Manager.

I think when you install an application created/built using a higher version of LV, it ll automatically overwrite any previous version(s) of that application installed in the target PC. We may not need it to be uninstalled manually. Did you try this?

APPLICATION BUILDER Related :creaate txtfile based on input argument.

(s1) In database package (PL/SQL), i witten the package P1 to pass the aggument as a binary file alongwith complete path and DLL argument file and generate the txt file and finally it create table dynamic table "table1" wirh dynamic columns and data inserted in to table "table1"

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "979467".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand
(s1) In database package (PL/SQL), i witten the package P1 to pass the aggument as a binary file alongwith complete path and DLL argument file and generate the txt file and finally it create table dynamic table "table1" wirh dynamic columns and data inserted in to table "table1" What are "binary file" and" DLL argument file"? What do they have to do with Oracle, PL/SQL and APEX? What "txt file"? "Dynamic" tables, columns and data is usually a warning sign...
Q : in APEX : i want to use this package P1 (from S1) and pass the argument file alongwith complete path using file browser (already availble in apex application builder). As has been noted in many previous threads on this topic:
>
For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML5 spec...
Changing IE's security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" enables the path to be exposed in IE, but unless you're working in an intranet environment where: IE is the only browser used; it's possible to make remote changes to this setting on every desktop; and this won't break/expose anything else, then trying to achieve this is pointless.

Basically you can't get local file path information from a current browser in its standard configuration.
The HTML FileAPI may be useful, depending on browser support.

Application builder priority

When I run the application builder, to build my labview program into an exe, it pretty much takes up 100% of the usage of my computer. Since it takes about 10 minutes to compile that's down time for me. Is there any setting, within labview, that I can make that would reduce the priority a bit for the application builder so that it can run in the background while still allowing me to work effectively on my computer?

Application Builder problem on one server but not another

I am having an Application Builder problem. When I get into App Express and go inside the builder and try to edit a listed application, I get an “http 404 the page cannot be found. The page might have had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable” situation. I can get into SQL commands, utilities, and administrative activities. I can also run the application. Also, if I go onto a different server with App Express on it, I can get into the builder and edit applications with no trouble. Our DBA had the server in question rebooted a little over a week ago and that took care of the problem for a couple days. Any ideas? Is this an Express problem or a server problem? He had also tried restarting Express before he had the reboot done and that didn’t help.
Thank you for any help.
Cordially,
Robert J. Smith

I have messages from the Apache error log files from the dates I was getting the builder error. For future reference, I will post them below. The builder has been working fine lately.

Is it possible to embed DAQmx in Installer(created by Application Builder)?

The good thing of Installer (created by application Builder) is that it also integrates LabView Runtime Engine along with supports like Serial port support, Port I/O support etc. Due to which one can install the application developed by Labview on any system wheather that contains Labview or not, as the engine required by that application also gets installed.
But problem with my application is that it uses DAQmx related stuff, so I have to install DAQmx 8.0 prior to running my application installer on any system. Is it possible that the DAQmx related stuff required by my application also gets install through same installer as it installs LabView Runtime Engine, so that the distribution of my application donot require the complete installation of DAQmx.

You need to use LV 8.0. You can add NIDAQ to your installer in LV 8.0. In previous versions I do not think it is possible.

Application builder and Installation

Elijah Kerry did a real nice power point presentation on Application Builder ( Risk Associated w Source Distribution) back in 2012. I can't remeber what forum/group, etc I found it under. Does anyone know if there is a similar presentation for creating an Installer??
ie:
How do I make sure I get all the files needed to port my code to a target machine?
Do I need to create the exe file 1st?? or does Installer do that for me?? What about MAX?? What about DAQ?? etc, etc.???
Thanks.

Yes. Tasks Scales and chanels need to be defined somewhere. That *.xml file with a *.lvproj extension is a nice convinient place that DAQmx will look for.
Excuse my ignorance on the subject because I've never used it. But is this useful for deploying DAQmx scales/Channels/Aliases? When I build an EXE and then an installer is the DAQmx scales and channels information inside the .lvproj imported? Or is this just useful for development?
EDIT: It looks like it only has scales/tasks/channels not aliases. So never mind.

Problems with Application Builder and NI-DAQmx drivers in Labview 8.2 Professional

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use the application builder to create an executable so that someone without labview is capable of a remote panel connection to connect to our test laboratory. our test laboratory uses the USB Compact DAQ 9172. I did find some other forums that ran into a similar problem where a computer that didnt have labview installed on it looked for a particular driver (nilvaiu.dll). The common solution appeared to be when building the installer, include the current NI-DAQmx (8.3 in our case) option and then the clients worked fine. My question is when i use the application builder to create an installation file for this application, i get a prompt to:
Locate the "National Instruments Device Drivers - February 2006 Disk 1" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer.
What is confusing is that the installation cd's in our laboratory are from August 2006 (501165N-03). It didnt make sense to me that i would need to downgrade the drivers from a few months ago, but i've been wrong before. We just upgraded from the full development to the professional version about 2 weeks ago to utilize the application builder function. Has anyone else ran into this problem and could this be a limitation because we purchased the software with the academic discount?
thanks in advance
Chris

Chris,
My "fix" is brute force. Backup everything. Removing all the NI software takes a while. Be sure to remove leftover directories and files.
Altering the windows registry takes seconds and is not hard if you know what you are looking for. I've attached a screen shot with the NI entry selected. This is what I deleted on by machine. The thing to remember is that the registry controls all the software on your pc. Delete/alter the wrong entry and you have problems. Worst case scenario is that you could end up formating the hard drive and starting over from scratch. I'm not trying to scare you, but I want to make sure you understand the potential for harm.
One thing you might try first. NI-DAQmx 8.5 is now available for download from NI. You might try unloading 8.3 and installing 8.5.

Application Builder removing the menu and tool bar

In Labview 8 we can use the application builder to disable the tool bar on the VI when during the build. Under Labview 8.2, the source file setting no longer affects the menu and tool bar of the top level VI. In my particuliar case, I want to remove the ability of a user to abort the VI from running after the application build, but I want the abort ability during the debugging phase.
Under Labview 8.2, you have to alter the custom window for the VI. In the previous version, you can do it on the build module.

Have you tried to set the properties of the Main VI being built? It should default to these settings but you can still change them. See attached picture from 8.20

Application builder distribution rights

Hi,
Could someone please clarify the rights we have with regard to distribution
of executables created with the application builder. I bought the
application builder because its sales pitch was "you can freely create
executables and distribute them". Upon receiving the software, (app
builder) i read the software license agreement and found that you are free
to distribute the executables except when you are using it for: data
acquisition, analysis, a user interface (strip charts, gauges, meters etc)
and a host of other restrictions.
I can not actually think of any application that does not use at least one,
if not all of the above.
This seems ridiculous, since I have bought $1700 worth of software that does
exac
tly what I want, technically, but prevents me from ever using it
legally. (at least as I have understood the software agreement)
Just what is the go?
EasilyConfused

John-
I've had the same questions lately and the feedback that I got from a
NI salesperson was that you can distribute the executibles and labview
runtime to any machine that you wish. To do the data acqusition, you
have to install NI-DAQ, but that license will come with the DAQ card
that you will have to purchase from the machine.
Hope this helps...

Problem with logging in to apex application builder listener

I have problem with my settings and am posting this in hope that someone else out there had similar problem and solved it!
I am trying to use reverseproxy to access to our db through apex listener.
It's been all set-up and I can login to the application it self either through proxy or no proxy using the listener.
But when I try to login to apex application builder I cannot do it through proxy(with no proxy, it works).
It just refreshes the login page when I click login....
I tried to upgrade the listener to the latest v1.1(using 1.0.2) but it causes my tomcat to crash...
So solution i am looking for is how to make logging in work through proxy..
In the firebug it is showing that below and few other request status as 302 moved temporariry
http://myserver:8080/testsin/apex/wwv_flow.accept
Where as with no proxy it is saying Found.....
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Sin K

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

Hi
I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
Hope this helps.

The executible I build with the application builder does not function the same as my VI file.

I am using a USB 6008 device with the newest DAQmx drivers and Labview
8.2 to make analog voltage readings. Within my main VI I first
create a data folder in the same location as the VI using a property
node and then use case statements to call two sub VIs that create a
data file within the data folder and then collects data. When I use the
application builder to create an executible the resulting file does not
operate the same as the origional VI. The program appears to be
reacting to button presses on the GUI, but there is no indication that
the data folder is being created or that any measurements are buing
made. Are there any known issues that may account for this
anomily?

Are you using the VI Path property, using a reference to the current VI?
I could be wrong, but if you're attempting to use a path relative to the current VI, I think that does indeed change in a built application. If your VI used to be C:\somewhere\foo.VI, then after building its path would actually be C:\somewhere\foo.EXE\foo.vi . Thus, if foo.VI used to try to make a folder like C:\somewhere\datafolder, the built application would be trying to make C:\somewhere\foo.EXE\datafolder , which wouldn't work.
This is sort of a shot in the dark, but does this sound like it might be the case?

Hello!
Information for users on this discussion forum: the problem was due to 'Build Text' function and when that function was removed the program worked fine. The functionality in the 'Build Text' function could easily be replaced by the 'Format Into String' function.
