Build application and installer to work without LabView installed.

Hi!
Can someone please tell me how to build an installer
in LabView, that can be installed on a different computer
and run my program without having to install LabView
on that computer?
Regards,
Børild

You just go through the nomral process of creating the installer:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvhowto/build_installer/
Just make sure you select the run-time engine (default I think) and VISA if needed...
Use the rating system, otherwise its useless; and please don't forget to tip your waiters!

Usage dependency is created at Build time and installation time

Hi,
The infrastructure guys have selected the usage dependency as Build time and Installation time, while creating software components.
"Y" SWC is created as depedency for "X" software component.
In SLD(software catalog), we are able to view the Y component as dependency in X component(at both build time and installation time). In usage dependency we are able to view Y component but when we click Y component in usage dependecy we are also able to view X component. Is there any problem with this ?
There is another issue. we are able to view basis object(in IR) in Y component but not in X component. Actually as per the above configuration basis object in IR should appear in X component.
Please refer to another forum which may give you some more idea.("BPM - Message interfaces of one component are not appearing in another comp") pasted on 17 Nov,2006.
Please could you provide us the inputs.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Is there a way of compiling a VI so that it runs on a PC without Labview installed?

Is there a way of compling/exporting/publishing a finished VI so that it runs on another PC without LabVIEW installed on it?
Message Edited by bluefocs on 04-29-2009 10:34 AM

You will always need the LabVIEW Runtime Engine of exactly that version the VI was built in.
Every VI is executable in the appropriate runtime engine without the need for the developement system.
In order to start the execution of a VI without using the developement system, you most often use .exe or sometimes .dll as files. And i think you are up to this.
You need the LV Application Builder to build an exe or dll containing your application. The Application Builder is part of the LV Professional Developement System, the other ones (Base and Full) can include it as an extra tool (liable to pay costs).
hope this helps,

Scripted Build of Host and RT application and installer

Looking to make a script that allows me to create the host application from a project template. But I need it to change some of the values in the project such as file paths, files included in the installer and names of the build exe and rtexe. I cant find the way that I can programtally control that thing based on user input.
This is something I am doing so our developer team can be more consistant about how we compile updates and how they are distribuited to the customer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As for(imstuck) has said, all of what you want to do is possible, but it is spread out over two APIs - the VI server API (property and method nodes) and the application builder API, which is not on the palettes, but can be found in <vi.lib>\AppBuilder\AB_API.
For working with projects, you can get project references through the Application class, then move on to project items, etc. You can use the class browser (Ctl-Shift-B) to find things.
AppBuilder has several APIs, depending upon what your final target is (source code, executable, packed library, etc.). Use the appropriate one.
I would strongly recommend you do not directly touch the project file. It can contain binary information and has a lot of interdependencies. You may be successful, but your solution will probably be brittle, since the project format can and does change with the LabVIEW version.
If you have any more specific questions, let us know.

Pre Build EXE and Installer Set Version

So this topic comes up relatively often so I thought I'd make a new thread showing an example of how to make it work. The problem is developers want a way to set the version of builds programmatically. Luckily NI added some VIs for doing this. Too bad you can't invoke them from the Pre-Build action of a build, because that information is read before the pre-build. Here is an idea exchange discussing it.
But I figured I could come with some kind of work around and I have two, and neither is perfect. Attached is a simple project. It contains a VI that runs reading the EXE version that it is running from once it is in an EXE. The project has three build specifications, an EXE, and two installers. The developer can set the Major, Minor, and Fix of the EXE, but the build version is set programmatically in the Pre-Build action. The version of the installers will also be set to the version of the EXE.
Attempt to build the EXE and a dialog will appear asking to enter the build version that should be used. This could be determined some other way but this was the easiest for the demo. If the EXE, and the Installers are already the correct version, where the build is the same as the one specified, and the installers are the same version as the EXE, then the build goes on like normal. But if the build you enter is not the same as the current, it will abort the current build, change the versions, and then tell the operator to attempt to build again. This time no prompt is seen and the build will work like normal with the version you set earlier.
The downside to this method is you have to tell the developer to build again, I figured I could do that programmatically so I tried. There is a constant on the BD of Prebuild Action VI.vi, and if it is set to True it will try to invoke a new build on its own. The problem with this method is the build the user invoked is aborted and the user sees the error. But the second build might have worked fine, but there isn't any feedback.
In any case this is a sorta working way of setting EXE and Installer build versions from a pre-build VI.

I took your idea and "simplified" it a little
Some may want the simplified version I understand. But for me I wanted a more robust VI, one that would work if a project had multiple build specifications of applications, or multiple installers. Some developers may have two applications one that is normal, and another with debugging turned on and I wanted the versioning to work consistently there by grabbing the newest version and using it. And in all my cases, if there is an installer it should be the same version as the EXE.
As for the getting around the error I think if I had enought time I could dig into the NI VIs to get rid of the error and show the progress of the new build. The whole build process is a bunch of VIs, that augment the right click menus in the project so the source is there it is just taking time to understand it.

Application and Installer won't open/launch on iMac (Maxon Cinema 4D) help!

This is a strange one. I have an application that refuses to open.
I've bought an iMac 24" Intel 3.06Ghz (not the brand new one, but a 2008 model). Everything works fantastically, but I'm having a problem with one particular application - Maxon Cinema 4D (R9.012). I realise this is an older version of Cinema 4D (they are now up to R11), but I have some 3D projects built in the older version that do not convert nicely when opened in the more recent versions. So, on some rare occasions, I need to open the older version to render a particular image successfully, etc.
But, I am finding that it won't open, and neither will the original VISE installer for the application. I don't believe this is an Intel compatibility problem, as I also have the use of an almost identical iMac 24" Intel 2.4Ghz (identical, obviously apart from the screen size and processor/graphics card) and the version of Cinema 4D R9.012 that won't open on my home computer DOES open fine on this computer. So, I am left bemused.
When I say that the application won't load, what happens when I double-click is that the dock momentarily expands, as if the app icon is about to appear, but nothing surfaces and the dock immediately goes back to it's normal self.
I've tried the instructions on this page, to no avail: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060314080135452
I've tried resetting the PRAM, to no avail.
I'm now lost as to what to try next. I've never encountered an app/installer refusing to open, without seeing some kind of warning or dialogue box.
Can anyone advise me what this could be caused by, and how to overcome it?
Thanks for reading!
Jme

In case anybody comes across this same problem, a fresh Leopard installatino solved the problem.
I migrated my iMac to another iMac, installed Leopard afresh, and voila, I was able to install Cinema 4D now! I then migrated my iMac back again, and everything seems to be fine now.
Very odd.

With Labview what do I need to run vi's on computers without Labview installed

With Labview, how can I install my VI's on another computer to run them with runtime eng. Do I need additional software or ?

On your development computer, click on Tools -> Build Application or Shared DLLs. Select Application and fill in the rest of the boxes with proper information (click Help button for more info). When all info is correctly filled, click on Build button. This will create an EXE file. On the other computer, install the Labview runtime engine. You can do this by using your regular Labview developer CD. Run the setup program but, when prompted for items to install, uncheck everything except the runtime engine box. Proceed with setup. This will install only the runtime engine on your target computer. Transfer your EXE file to the target computer. Run the EXE file, it should work.

Acrobat 10.1.1.33 crashes after a few weeks from install and wont start up without re-install

We have Adobe CS6 installed at work and every couple of weeks Acrobat just crashes silently and then refuses to load, even when opened via short cut, windows context menu, etc. Repairing the install doesn't fix this issue and instead I have to completely uninstall CS6 and reinstall to get Acrobat to work again for a few more weeks until it repeats. I am not the only one in the office having this issue.
I had a look into windows application logs and found this entry logged for the exact time acrobat silently crashed:
Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 10.1.1.33, time stamp: 0x4e64e9d5
Faulting module name: Acrobat.dll, version: 10.1.1.33, time stamp: 0x4e64fa0a
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00020bd8
Faulting process id: 0x225c
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf2351bc3ef267
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
Report Id: 49b20389-8f45-11e3-b30b-90b11c5f8db5
The computer was fresh out the box running windows 7 64bit and has nothing other than CS6 installed. While Acrobat wont work at all, Photoshop and other CS6 applications installed work fine.
Anyone know of a fix?

Have you tried the updates? AA X is at 10.1.9. At least you have 10.1, that was the minimum required for 64-bit systems. When it fails, was there something else that was installed or updated just before the crash? Was there any error code given when the failure occurred. I see that you got the log entry and that is good, but not very useful to users like us -- only maybe to Adobe staff.
What where you doing in Acrobat when the failure occurred? Does Distiller still open? Can you print to a PDF? Just trying to home in on what might be the issue.
If you proceed with a reinstall (since you can't repair), do the following steps: Uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left overs of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. After the install, do the updates to 10.1.9. I would then suggest backing up the drive or at least the registry and Adobe folder in Program Files (X86). With the latter, you might be able to get things back. At least with the Acrobat folder you can see if it is related to any files there having problems or something in the registry. There are a few files in the system32 (or 64?) folder also.
You might also try http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?cat=support&loc=en_us to see if there are specific Adobe recommendations about your problem. However, specifics are needed and it is hard for me to provide an inquiry based on what you have given, though it may be all you can easily tell us.

Keyboard and mouse not working correctly after installing Windows 8.1

I was forced to upgrade my computer to Windows 8.1. My keyboard worked fine until the sytem did a reboot. Numbers on keypad stopped typing and letters were being capitalized when the caps lock was off and the numbers across the top will only type the symbol above the numbers.
I looked up this problem and it seems I need to enter UEFI settings and disable Intel XHCI mode. When I get into the UEFI settings I cannot make any selection from the startup menu. Both my keyboard and mouse stop working.
Any suggestions?

Remote Desktop not listed in Applications, but installation says it's already installed

When I try to install Apple Remote Desktop, I get a message that says a more current version is already installed. I look in Applications and see no reference to Remote Desktop.
1) Does Max OS X Lion 10.7.3 come with Remote Desktop installed, as some documentation suggests?
2) If so, where is it?
I'm trying to remote from macBook Pro to a windows server via ip address

If you are connecting from a Mac to a Windows server,
you should really be using Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac.
Get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client
As far as Apple Remote Desktop, each Mac ships with the
server. It is the client, what you use to connect to another
mac, that requires a download and is $79.99 at the MacApp Store.
The server function is integrated into OSX and is not visible as an
app.

Deploy rtexe and bitfiles to cRIO without LabVIEW Development Environment

All,
How can I deploy code to a cRIO in the field without the LabVIEW development environment? I think I can make this work via FTP for updates but for fresh installs as I'm at a loss for what files are required. There seems to be a bunch of magic going on here.
Regards,
Ken

Note, a little (good natured)sarcasm here.
No problem. Just connect it to your development system. What, you sent the application to the field? Why would you do that? Oh well, another way is to get your backup controller of the same type, hook it to your development system and load it though max. Then load the application. Then download and use the replication tools to save an image of the RT controller. Note, you have to have the same one as you sent out (you kept a spare of the RT controller, right?). Then send the files and the replication program to the field with instructions on how to use it. If you don't have a spare of the exact type, just have them send it back to you to reprogram or take a road trip, with your laptop with your development system on it.
Needs a little work, don't you think. Hopefully, it will improve. The thing about it is, the hardware is top notch. Just need a little work on distributing it. See this idea on the exchange.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Real-Time-Idea-Exchange/Complete-installer-for-Labview-RT-Targets/id...
They need a way to, without your development system:
1. Create an installer that will load all the drivers, os, etc that your development system would, with options for different controllers.
2. Installer for the application.
