Application builder missing files

Hi all,
I'm new to LabView and I'm trying to deploy an application as an executable. I'm running LabView 2009 on Win XP Pro. I have the application builder and ran the application builder tutorial. The tutorial worked fine, but doing the same steps on my project that calls sub-VIs from several different libraries didn't work. I'm not trying to build an installer yet, just a stand alone executable running on a machine with the LabView run time framework already installed. I'm not calling anything by reference, all sub-VIs are called explicitly.
The VI I'm trying to deploy works fine running in LabView. Application builder successfully generates an executable. When the executable is run, it pops up a dialog looking for a bunch of sub-VIs. I attached a copy of the executable prompting me for a sub-VI contained in vi.lib
First, is there a user's manual or something like that for Application Builder? LabView Help describes how to create a stand alone executable but doesn't describe all the settings in detail. I probably just have one of the settings wrong.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on what to try next?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Solved!

LV2011SP1
I have been developing in the directory
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\user.lib
The source code is located in a subfolder in the "user.lib" folder
The builds go into the destination subfolder "user.lib\builds"
The executable built returns an error when it is run. It can't find one of the subvis.
The subvi in question is listed under the dependencies for the main vi in the project.
I copied the devlopmentto a new location, namely
C:\Users\Me\Documents\LVcode\builderErrorTestFolder
The executable built within this new project ran without error on the development machine, but the executable built with the installer in this project will not run on a non-development machine. In the case of the executable installed on a non-development machine, the error is a "can't find vis" error, but it is limited to NI_AALPROLvlib files and NI_AALBaseLvlib files
What could be the problem?

Unexpected Application Builder log file

I am using Labview 5.1.1 application builder. When I compile up my
application, I find a log file in the same directory as the exe just build
(same name as exe but with a .log extension).
When I open this up it contains >>
Microsoft (R) Type Library Generator Version 2.20.4048
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. 1993-1995. All rights reserved.
app.odl (23) : fatal error M0001: Syntax error near line 23 column 15:
expected: {
The compiled exe seems to run, but should I trust it?
Anyone any thoughts on this, or an explanation as to what might be wrong?
regards,
Alistair Simpson

Most of the logs rotation for the different componets can be set in EM console but if you just want to do it with a cron or script here is what I have used in the past. Edit it to your needs.

Java application - build JAR file & include JCO library

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Java application that connects to SAP system using JCO library (sapjco.jar).
I would like to create a JAR file from my Java application but when I run the JAR file that I created I get an error that NoClassDefinitionFoundError com/sap/mw/jco/JCO at [...]
That means that the JCO and associated DLL files (sapjco.jar, librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll) were not included/packed in my JAR file.
-- How can I include the JCO lib in JAR file?
-- If there is a problem with the DLL files, how can I include the JCO lib externally (dynamicly read the JCO whenever my JAR in run)?
I am using Eclipse 3.2 and Export to JAR option when I click right button on Project.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HELP!!!

Hi,
The problem is that you don't have defined the libraries in the Manifest file of your jar-file. So the jar doesn't know what to use at runtime.
Add following entry to the MANIFEST.MF file:
Class-Path:/<lib_folder>/<lib1_name>.jar; /<lib_folder>/<lib2_name>.jar and so on.
Regards,
Daniel

Release 4.2 - Application Builder - Missing links at bottom of the screen

Hello
In 4.1 (and all releases before) when run an application you could see links at the bottom of the screen for development activities e.g. home, edit page, session, etc
In release 4.2 I can no know longer see these links.
Is there away to "Switch on" these links?
Thanks, Pete

Captivate 6 Errors: Missing file libwinpthread-1.dll and The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested but the result is same.
1- I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation Package to deploy through SCCM 2012.
Notice that the current package works fine on Windows7 (x86 & x64) but not on 2008 R2 due to an error after I try to launch Captivate.exe application.
The error states that there's a Missing file: libwinpthread-1.dll and if I copy and made a registration of this .DLL file then it sends another error saying: The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) so it never let me launch the application.
2- Now if I install the package directly from the Original sources(CD) without creating any AMEE package after completing the installation I still have the same error about the DLL missing file.
Is there any fix or workaround to install Captivate 6 on Win2008 R2 ?
Thanks in advance & kind regards.

Wow, No replies so far !!
Any one ??

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?

Can I include raw files into the installer folder with LV application builder?

Hello,
I have created a batch file that will run at the end of the installer, which will copy over some raw configuration files into the source destination so that the configuration files can be customized for each end user without rebuilding the installer with application builder. I also have an autorun.inf so the installer will automatically run when the user installs the CD.
However I would like to have some default configuration files and an autorun.inf file that will be automatically added to the installer "volume" folder using the application builder.
However I don't see a way to include raw files in the "volume" folder. It appears all source files in the application builder are embedded into the binary files.
Please let me know if this is possible with the current application builder.

I installed the system update to 10.7.3. After re-booting, my mail file was missing from the dock. Looked in applications and the mail application is missing. Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

"file already exists in the destination" during application build

I am trying to build an executable and have gotten the following error:
The file already exists in the destination.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\Sentech LV 82\Shared Library - Trigger SDK\StTrgApi.dll
WHen I start the build I go to "Build Executable" then click "Build"
The VI for the project I have open is the Startup VI and I do not list any Dynamic VIs or Support FIles.
I am using Labview 8.2
I installed a user library for a USB camera from Sentech wich I am using and it works fine in Labview 8.2
When I try to do the build I get the error shown above. The file it is referencing is there along with the .lvlib file.
I tried removing the file shown in the error message to see what would happen and I continue to get the same error even though the file is not there. I even restarted LV and still got the same error.
I am new to the application builder (v7 ?) and have not been able to find any good tutorials. Does anyone have any ideas on this error or a good place to learn more about app builder.
Thanks
Keith

How can i build RPMs file for my own Java Application?

How can i build RPMs file for my own Java Application?....I have my own directory that contains all Java Source files and some files that my Application required....I want to build RPMs file like a install File to Linux System, Now my OS is Linux Fedora core 1.....How can i do this?

I think that in order to create a RPM, you'd need to
use some C.Nope - the RPM is all about packaging and the "magic" x.spec file. You can have anything you want in the RPM, but you have to use RPM tools to build the .rpm file. One of the features is that you can also indicate (via "install" scripts) modifications to other files or the filesystem to support the installation of whatever's in the RPM.

Error opening files on a server "Application is missing" for every file type

Hello,
I have got quite a strange problem with Maverick and a server (Isilon NAS).
When we connect to this server, with SMB or CIFS, it's impossible to open a file because "The application is missing". They are .PDF or .XLSX files mainly, so nothing exotic.
If we copy those files locally we are able to open them. The problem is only happening on two new MacBook Pro, we have roughly 40 other various Macs without this bug.
It's possible to "fix" the problem temporary by connecting to the same server, but on another share : smb://my_server/one_share -> "The application is missing", smb://my_server/another_share -> Working as expected. But next time "another_share" won't work, but "one_share" will...
We tried to troubleshoot the problem but it looks like a really rare bug, we are going to install the Combo Updates to see if it helps.
Any suggestion or idea is welcomed.
Have a nice day

Hi
Did you try some steps given in the following article
"Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect" Warning Message
See if that helps. Do let me know if you have any question.

During an application build I received an error 7 for a missing source NI vi 1d linear evaluation.vi

During an application build, I got "Error 7 occurred at c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\vi.lib\Analysis\8numerc.llb\1D Linear Evaluation.vi - source does not exist".
This existed in Labview 5.1.1. Was it deleted in 6.0?

No, this VI is in the following location "Functions >> Analyze >> Mathematics >> Array Operations>>1D Linear Evaluation.vi"
Perhapse this in a package (Advanced Analysis) that is not included in your version of LabVIEW. You may need to upgrade to get these VIs, or you can copy them over from your Labview 5.1.1 installation.

How to use application builder to generate installation disk without compiling the the support files?

Hello,
What I am trying to do is to use LV application builder generating an installation disk without compiling the support files. I mean:
the support fils like the help files are located on a different directory , for example, installation disk is D drive, help file directory is: D:\Help\..., not compiled in the installation Data set.
So, when the installation disk is running, it only copy this directory file into the destiny directory. Of course, we can write a different bat file to do this. However, beside this method, is there any way, like using LV application builder to do this without writing a batch file. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

For LabVIEW 7.1, this can be done in a few short steps. First, add your help file as a support file in the Application Builder. Then go to the Installer tab, choose to create an installer and click on the Files button at the bottom. From this dialog (shown below), you can specify the destination for each component in your install package. If you have added your help file as a support file, it will show up in the Files in Installation list. Click on your help file to highlight it. You can now choose where to install the file to by specifying an installation destination and a subdirectory. The default subdirectory is called data, but if you want to change that, just type in a new subdirectory name as I have done below:
Hope this helps!

What are the options in the application builder application.ini file

What are the options that I can add in the application.ini file that is created by the application builder.

They are about the same as LabVIEW.ini. Scott Hannahs has a list of ini settings for several versions of LabVIEW that can be found here.

Application Manager: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file (Mac)

I would like to install the trial version of Creative Suite 6. I was able to download the .dmg file, but when I run the installation I keep getting the following message:
Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant program, Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, Adobe Support Advisor, and a recent version of the Application Manager. Yet I keep getting the same error message. I downloaded the program twice already. Nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help me solve this problem?

Thank you for replying Mylenium. I found a list of system requirements: http://www.creativebloq.com/general/adobe-cs6-system-requirements-1233361
The following is some information about my Mac's:
MacBook
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
1GB of RAM
iMac
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
2GB of RAM
I have old computers but they still work just fine. I assume I won't be able to install CS6 in my MacBook, but could I install it in my iMac? Is Firefox browser okay?
It's disappointing that nowadays we constantly need to purchase new devices to correspond with new software when older devices still work just fine.
