Are stand alone LV applications compiled in Win2000 portable to WinNT and Win95?

I recently upgraded from LV 5 to LV6.1 and at the same time upgraded my developement PC from WinNT to Win2000.
I have successfully created stand alone applications (with the App. Builder) which run on other Win2000 PCs, but the installer doesn't want to run on a WinNT PC. I am including the LV runtime engine with the application installer.
Can an executable compiled in Win2000 be installed on WinNT and Win95 PCs?
Does the LV Run Time Engine need to be installed separately?
(Or is there maybe just some thing wrong with the WinNT PC?)
Thanks

I develop on Win2K as well, and I haven't had any trouble (knock on wood) running these apps on Win9x/NT4. The only issues I've seen were installation issues; Windows 95 doesn't come with the Windows Installer service, which is used by installers created with the LabVIEW 6.1 Application Builder. The target directory for your installation should have included InstMsiA.exe and InstMsiW.exe, which will add the Windows Installer service to any machine that doesn't have it. Are you putting these files on your install disc along with setup.exe?
You may want to try manually adding the Windows Installer service to the target PC. You can download it for free at http://download.microsoft.com/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/W9XMe/EN-US/InstMsiA.exe for Win9x or
http://download.microsoft.com/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/NT45/EN-US/InstMsiW.exe for WinNT.
You can also try installing the LV Runtime Engine separately on the target PC and just copying your program's executable over, but that shouldn't be necessary. One more thing to check is that the user installing your program is logged in with sufficient privileges on the target PC.
One more alternative would be to copy the entire contents of your development PC's LabVIEW 6.1 Runtime folder (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\6.1) onto the target PC, into the same folder where your app lives. Again, this shouldn't be necessary but is one more way to get the LabVIEW RTE onto the end user's computer.

How to find if the SQL Reporting services are stand alone or clustered ?

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how do i find if the SQL Reporting services are stand alone or clustered ?
As there are no other SQL features installed on the server except for reporting.
Is there any GUI or CLI command to check this ?
Gautam.75801

Hello,
Do not open cluster administrator since SSRS cannot take advantage of Windows Clustering Services.
You need see if the Network Load Balancing manager (NLB) (windows feature) is installed on the SSRS computer and open
it to see if a NLB cluster has been configured.
Hope this helps.

How to build Vis in NI_AALbase.lvlib to my Stand-alone application?

Hi, everybody.
I met some problems while building the subVis of NI_AALbase.lvlib and NI_AALPro.lvlib into my stand-alone application.
I use Labview 8.2 professional version and Windows xp OS.
While I build the system contained example "Peak detection and display.vi" into stand-alone application, it succeeded in the local computer,and the exe program run correctly.
Then I move the generated application files to another computer, where only the run-time engine 8.2 was installed. However, some errors
appeared during the running. The error message is "unable to load the front panel, error in loading 'NI_AALPro.lvlibeak detector.vi' "
It seems the "Peak detector" subvi in NI_AALPro.lvlib can not be found. Similar problems happened with the subvis in NI_AALbase.lvlib.
I use the default configuration for Application Builder. I donot know how to configure the Application Builder.
Could you help me to solve the problems?
Thank you.
Stephen

An example of a non-vi support file might be an image that you are importing into your application. LabVIEW can obtain data from external files and perform LabVIEW functions on it.
Thus, if you created an application that imported a file that is not a vi, you would include this in your support files.
You can find out more about File I/O in the LabVIEW Help>>Fundamentals section.
I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this issue.

Error 10403 when using Stand-Alone Application and DAQPad 6020E

On the computer I have LabVIEW on, I can run my VI and also I can run the stand alone application of that VI. But I can NOT run the stand alone applicaiton of that VI on a 2nd computer with out LabVIEW. I get error # 10403. I belive I build the VI correctly and loaded the proper software/driver because I have found I can run a simple stand alone application VI that does not communicate with my DAQPad 6020E. The second computer does reconize the DAQPad 6020E under the Divice Manager. I tried using differnce divice numbers for the AO and AI...

Hi,
The first thing you need to check is make sure the same DAQ driver is installed on both computers. Then, you need to make sure that you can view the device in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Once you can do this, then you will need to make sure the LV Run-Time Engine is installed on the stand-alone comp. This needs to be the same version as LabVIEW that is installed on the computer where the application was developed.
I hope this helps.

Report generation toolkit and Stand-Alone Application

I know this question has been posed many time already. I have been fighting this issue for a week now and I've exhaused all ideas I can think of.
I have an application that I moved to another PC. For the past year or so it has been running off of a machine that has LV installed (LV2010). The issue is none of the RGT VIs seem to be working. I know this is related to additional files that need to be included in the application, an believe me, I have tried, but nothing works. I have read through all the threads I can find related to this issue as well as documents and the LV Help.
--It is my understanding the the dynamic VIs for Excel and Word do not need to be included for LV versions higher than 8.2. But I tried anyway and nothing.
--I've added the folders LVClass and NIReport.llb folders to my project and "always included" in my application. Still nothing.
--I've tried adding NI_Excel.lvclass to my project as the instructions in the help say to do and included it into my application. Still zilch.
--I've tried different combinations of things to try and get this to work and I get the same result.
For some reason, the program cannot find the VIs it needs in order to generate the report. No errors are returned either from the application.
I should note that when I included the NI_Excel.lvclass to my application that the size of the program did not change. I thought this was strange. It appeared the files in the class did not get included since they were not greyed out; however, after including the NIReport.llb which contains this class, they did get included, but unfortunately this did not fix my issue.
One question I have is why do the files in the LVClass and NIReport.llb folders not appear in the Preview, but if you have "Use LabView 8.x file layout" under the Advanced page checked, they do? This should be unchecked I know, just curious as to what was witnessed.
I am hoping this is something simple that I have over-looked. I'm tired of beating my head into the wall. I appreciate any assistance you folks can give.
Thanks.

Mo,
The .exe created with the 8.x unchecked runs just fine. I did check and the .exe is larger due to the extra files inlcuded directly in the .exe vs the Data folder.
Yes, I noticed this as well.
Let me ask, if if the class libraries are in the dependencies, won't they be a part of the application? So why does it need to be included. NI_Excel.lvclass in in the dependencies.

Build stand-alone application with Global variable

Question:
how to build a VI access a global variable into a standalone EXE file?
there are multiple VIs access to one Global variable, one of the VIs need to run in background to update the Global variable, whick i built into EXE file.
the rest VI will be called in from Teststand to retrieve the Global variable.
the global variable is updated if i run the background VI in labview, but after i build it into EXE file, it seems the global is not updated even the EXE running OK.

Hi,
Do you actually need to have an executable.
If you can call your global variable updater VI as a VI form, then your other VI's will still beable to see the Global variable.
You can launch you global variable updater VI in a new thread or execution so that it runs in the background and returns back to TestStand sequence so you can continue on with the rest of your tests.
Remember to close your global updater VI before you complete your test sequence run.

Server side script not running on stand-alone XE

Hello,
In my application I created a Server side script (AJAX) which presents a select-list based on other fields on the page. The very same application runs on a 10g+APEX3.0.1 database AND on a standard XE+APEX2.1 database, which are both accessed via a HTTP-server. The application with the script runs fine on this platform (XP).
I have two other XP-machines on which I also installed XE+APEX2.1. Both are stand-alone versions NOT accessed via a HTTP-server. I installed exactly the same application which runs on the platform with HTTP server on both of the machines. While testing the correct functioning, I noticed that everything works ok, EXCEPT the server side script which gives me a better select list. Instead of this I get the old-fashioned version of the select-list which is not able to use the value elsewhere on the page.
I found a similar problem on the XE forum (Re: Server side scripts features ) but it doesn't answer my question how to get the script working on a standalone version of XE (= without access via a HTTP-server).
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks & regards,
Jan.

Carl,
Thanks for your suggestion to install FireFox and the Firebug tool (which I wasn't aware of).
After having looked at the problem for hours, I found what I think is the problem: the htmldb_html_elements.js script.
As already mentioned, the properly functioning XE on my local PC is accessed via a HTTP-server, as well as the 10gR2+APEX3.0.1 version also running on that PC.
On the laptop, not running HTTP-server, I get the message: 
$x is not defined 
 f_21_select_kpn(input#P21_GBREKNR 405, "P21_KOSTENPOST") 
onblur(blur )
 
That is in the 'Console' of Firebug.
When changing to Script I do see a remarkable difference.
On the PC there the following text is found in the first lines of htmldb_html_elements.js:
/*htmld_elements will contain the lower level html access js*/ 
var gDebug = true; 
var gkeyPressTime; 
var gLastTab=false; 
var gRegex=false; 
var ie=(document.all)?true:false; 
if(ie){document.expando=true;} 
var gDebugWindow = false; 
/* 
$x functions have to do with either single elements or array of elements 
$v functions have to have to do with manipulating values or interaction based off a value 
$xml function have to do with manipulating xml values 
$a functions are based on ajax 
$d functions are specific dhtml constructs 
*/ 
/* begin $x functions */ 
function $x(pNd){ 
try{ 
var node; 
... 
On the laptop however the first few lines are: 
/*htmld_elements will contain the lower level html access js*/ 
 
var gDebug = true; 
var gkeyPressTime; 
var gLastTab=false; 
var gRegex=false; 
if(document.all){document.expando = true;} 
// Elements // 
 
function html_GetElement(pNd){ 
try{ 
var node; 
switch(typeof (pNd)){ 
... 
I think that the difference is in these two scripts.
But why are the scripts different: it is the same XE that is installed on the laptop and the PC. The answer I found in the images/javascript directory of APEX3.0.1 which is located in the APACHE directory-tree (you have to copy the images to APACHE when you use the HTTP-server). And indeed: the htmldb_html_elements.js has exactly the same text as what I see in Firebug on the PC. So XE on the PC is using the javascripts in the image-directory of APACHE on the PC and not the XE-version of the scripts, embedded in XE.
 
So the answer seems to be: copy the APEX3.0.1 versions of the script over to the PC and try to get them into the database. Or...???
 
Can it be loaded into the database? Will XE accept it?
 
Would be nice to have answers if the conclusion I found is the right one and if it can be fixed by loading the js into XE.
 
Best regards and thanks for your help so far.

Dependency list in project shows 2 DLL files. What do I need to do when creating a stand-alone executable file to ensure that it is included?

When the executable that I created is run on a stand-alone machine, a search is instantly launched to locate the missing *.DLL files along with about 20 other sub vi files from an example vi file that I downloaded last week. Once the exampe vi was open, I modified the block diagram and the front panel and then I resaved it with a new name.
The missing sub-vi files are the same files that I saw listed in the Dependencies list of the project along with the 2 DLL files. This problem shouldn't be happening because I included the top level vi file that contains the sub-vi files into the source files list under the Start-Up VIs window of the application properties. What needs to be done to make this stand-alone executabale complete?

OK...So it's not a simple as clicking the mountian icon above and inserting the location of the picture file on my PC huh? It works on my end just fine, but I understand you all don't see it.
I really don't understand why this is such a complicated process in this discussion forum, but your explanation isn't working for me. SO, I'm going to write what I understand to be the proper procedure and you tell me if it's wrong.
Attach my image using the Browse button below. That makes sense. Done that.
Edit my post - Edit it? How is typing this message in the window any different from editing my post??? Are you sugesting that I Edit As HTML(http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/post?board.id=170&message.reply_to_id=244152#) using the shortcut in the lower right hand side of the frame??? I not, please explain a different way.
I right clicked the adress in the window under the Attachment heading below the lower left hand side of the frame, copied it and pasted it into the Script Prompt: dialog pop-up that appeared when I clicked on the mountain icon in the tools menu. By the way,
Now I see my image in the post just before I sent it.
Don't you see it now?
As for the DLL file - the ONLY way I can find the DLL file that I need is to refresh the dependencies list in my project. As I explained in my previous posts, those two DLL files came with an example vi that i downloaded from the NI website last week and they must have been embedded inside of the example because I didn't create them myself and I've since resaed the original example vi as one that's been renamed by myself. In doing so, I presume that the DLL file was inherited from the original example vi file to my own vi file. However, that's clearly not the case because every time I run the executable file that I created with the renamed example vi file in my project, it immediately launches a searchfor the DLL files that it claims are missing!!! SInce the DLL files are ONLY visible in the dependencies list, I can't transfer them to the Dynamic VI and Support files window in the Application Builder. SO, I drag them up the Source Files tree in the Application Builder to the top of the tree where the Start-up vi is located and then I can move them to the Dynamic VI and Support Files window. Those DLL files don't appaer inthe top level of the tree where the Start-up vi appears before I move it to the Start-up vi window of the Application Builder. I'll try it again.

Expand a Stand-Alone Primary Site into a Hierarchy with a Central Administration Site

I have a stand alone SCCM server in my Lab. Now I need to install a CAS and add the stand alone SCCM site to the hierarchy.
As I have searched on Google the steps are quite simpler I have followed the below link for doing the same.

http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2013/05/03/install-a-configmgr-2012-sp1-central-administration-site/
But when i click on install, the installation failed at this particular step:-
In the log file below is the error I received:-
I am only using a single Domain account throughout the environment and SQL and SCCM has been installed with the very same account.
Stand alone site has been installed on the default SQL instance and I have created a named instance "CAS" for CAS installation on the very same SQL Server. The domain account has sufficient rights on the SQL and the Machine accounts have the local

Will Compressor 4 run as a stand alone without FCPX?

Will Compressor 4 run as a stand alone without FCPX?
I use FCP 7.0.3 and have COmpressor 3. I wondered if Compressor 4 would run on my MacPro and would I see any improvement over Compressor 3?
4 isn't tied down to FCPX I hope.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Steve

Unless you need some special encoding that compressor 3.5 can't do, I would not "upgrade" to version 4. I bought the new version after FCP X hosed my version of 3.5 thinking it would solve my problem. It only created more problems for me. (BTW, I was subsequently able to resurrect the 3.5 version with compressor repair and doing a bunch of other stuff!) The new version has Apple Qmaster incorporated into it which on the surface looks like an advantage. But I have not been able to get it to form a quick cluster despite numerous attempts. I have "spoken" to Russ on the forum here and he can't figure it out. I have spoken several times to a seemingly knowlegable Apple care specialist- they can reproduce my problem but they can't fix it either. Consequently, encoding is much slower in Compressor 4 vs 3. If compressor 3 is doing what you need it to do, stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!!!

Kindly develop AME as a stand alone application

Kindly develop AME as a stand alone aplication so that you can increase the market share and 100 billion Customers would be happy

It is a stand alone program. Has been since inception.
You just can't get it without Premiere Pro, After Effects or a couple others. Given the wealth of free convertors out there, not sure why anyone would need AME without the other programs, though.

Hi GardW
All comm. problem are handeled.
The problem was based on the destinations for the .VI's.
Labview 7.1 isn't so got to manage these. It's something the user got to be carefully about.
Allmost solved. But now can't get the default 'labview Icon' to my finnished Application. You know... when you make a stand alone application..
then somewhere under the building process... you can choose if you want your own Icon added as the application starter icon! If you don't choose any.. Labview makes the Labview Icon as your application starter Icon.
And that is my problem now. Any ideas???
Thanks for trying to help , i appriceate it !!

Initially opening a stand alone application not in run mode.

When opening a stand alone application for the first time, how can I not have it automatically start in run mode? I want the user to click the white arrow first to start the program. Are there any ways to get around this? Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes. Here's how:
When you build your executable, there are several screens in which you set parameters.
Under "Source File Settings", check "Set VI Properties for all contained items".
Click the "Customize VI Properties" button. Another dialog box will pop up listing the VI properties.
Under "Execution", uncheck "Use VI Property".
Make sure "Run When Opened" is unchecked.
Now, when you build your executable, your user will have to press the white arrow to start the VI.
Hope this helps,
