Building an application in LabVIEW 7 will result in error 1073

Hello all,
I have a test program developed and built with LV6.1.
Our customer wants to switch to LV7, so I imported the program into LV7 and started a rebuild of the executable. The program was saved first as "application distribution (removing diagrams)". After a short while, the application builder stopped with:
"error code 1073 -> Application Builder: The source VI must have its diagram in order to be included in an application."
After some investigations I found, that the reason is a VI wich includes building an array using a for-loop and autoindexing.
In LV6.1 the applicatin was built without such an error message.
Due to the error message I assume, that it is recommended not to remove the
block diagram. Is there any reason for this? Applies this only to VIs with arrays and forloops?
Within the documentation I found nothing about this (maybe my search patterns are wrong).
Best regards
Heinrich Eidloth

Hello and Good Morning,
thanks for your answer. But it doesn't help very much.
The undocumented entry reduces the error message to thew following text:
error 1073 -> LabVIEW: This property is writable or this method is available only when the VI is in edit mode.
Before using the entry in the LV inifile both messages were shown as a possible reason. After updating the LV inifile I will only see the text above.
And again: In LV61 I can build the executable without any problems (with or without a block diagram).
But inside my little test VI (see attached file) there are no property nodes. Or are there some "hidden" property nodes ?
thanks in advance for a fast answer

I have searched and can find no real sollutions to this problem. I did the updates and still nothing. Now I can't even build an app with Laview 8.6. I reference several .NET items and refuse to rebuild each and every one of them. My only option at this point is to uninstall all Labview and then reinstall 8.6 so I can do something.
Help if you can.

Hello RBrown
I am really sorry for this inconvenience! This is a known issue.
Can you please attempt the following for me:
When you are building an application, under Advanced please check the last box "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout"
If that doesn't work, you may need to rebuild the LLB in a separate directory with new names, and use it as the build inclusion.
Here are some forum posts strictly for your information:
I have found users that have had similar issues. I am trying to make this workaround work for you.

Error message when building an application for Labview PDA

When using LabView PDA module to build an application for a PDA target, I receive the following message: "Error building executable. Unable to create file". Why is this happening?
When looking at the error log, it reads "The system cannot find the file specified."
This happens even when looking at one of the Labview PDA example VI's, so it is not a result of the VI containing functions of features not supported by Labview PDA.
When installing Labview PDA, I installed files as follows, and in this order:
(i) Labview 7.1 (installed previously)
(ii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
(iii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP 3.0
(iv) Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
(v) Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8
(vi) NI Labview 7.1 PDA module for PocketPC
(vii) DAQmx Base 1.0 for PDA or later
Any ideas?

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

Can i build an application with Labview 2009 for Windows 7?

Hello
i use Labview 2009 SP1 and the application builder 2009 SP1. If i install the application on win7 this message is display:
Labview Run Time Engine depends on pruduct with upgrade code (...) version 9.0.301, language {} which is not in distribution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is this an issue with Windows 7 having both installation folders for 32 bit (C:\Program Files (x86)) and 64 bit (C:\Program Files)?
I had an application built on an XP machine and installed on a Windows 7 machine which was looking for files in C:\Program Files when they were actually installed in C:\Program Files (x86) - because it was 32-bit application. After installation I had to move the files from 1 location to the other to make it work.

Standalone application without labview ?

Hi
I am trying to build an .exe file using application builder in LabVIEW 7.0. Is it possible to build an application without labview dependency ? In short, I want something like an .exe file which will run on systems without labview. I know visual basic has this facility. Please let me know.
Thanks
Sridhar.

?<br><br>Sridhar.
You are not right. It is possible. With LV 7.0 and previous versions (I
don't know if this still works for 7.1), the executable will run correctly
if lvrt.dll and the other support files are in the same directory. So you
could, for example, put your executable on a thumb drive. Copy all files
and folders in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\LabVIEW
Run-Time\7.0 directory to the thumb drive as well. Then your supervisor
could just run the program from the thumb drive without copying anything to
his computer. Or, if you want the drive back, he could copy the entire
contents to his drive without using an installer.
But this begs the question, if your supervisor is evaluating executables you
are creating in LabVIEW, what's the problem with installing LV Run-Time on
his computer?

Bing,
From your previous posts it looks like you would like to download your FPGA VI to your cRIO modules and then have the application run at start up without the need of a PC to initiate the start. If this is what you are intending it is possible to download an FPGA VI to the Flash Memory of an FPGA Device. Instructions for this can be found by launching the Embedded Project Manager and selecting Help >> VI, Function, How to Help >> FPGA Module >> Running FPGA VIs >> Downloading FPGA to Flash Memory. This should work well if you are intending to run application as completely stand alone. Since there will be no communication with the host there would be no need for a Host Vi and the you would only need the FPGA vi to run the application.
Are you intending to create an application that will not communicate with a host PC or were you wanting to create and executable that you could distribute?

IS APPLICATION BUILDER 6 COMBATIBILE WITH LABVIEW 7 ?

IS APPLICATION BUILDER 6 COMBATIBILE WITH LABVIEW 7 ?

No it's not but it is a free upgrade last time I checked. Go here and click on the Upgrade Advisor link. You will need the serial number of your current app builder.
p.s. LabVIEW 7.1 was released today so you might want to skip 7 and go straight to the latest.

hi ravenas,
thanks for the reply.
anyways, is it possible that whenever guest logins into the system, the windows page bounds configuration like front panel bounds in labview be fetched so that the same will be configured to the vi's front panel programatically.
by doing this the windows components will automatically get hide.
or is there any better solution.

Cannot build application with labview 7.0

I had built application previously using labview 6.X while some of the V.I. are without block diagrams, but I couldn't do that any more with labview 7.0 as a error will be prompted, why is this happening & are there difference in application builder between labview 7.0 and previous version? Must I load those V.I. without block diagrams dynamically now ?

Unfortunately it is impossible to build application with newer version with VIs without block diagrams, which saved in oldest version.
from ni web site:
"National Instruments does not recommend saving VIs without block diagrams because LabVIEW needs the block diagram to recompile the VI after an upgrade. When you upgrade LabVIEW, you must find a version of the VI that includes its block diagram to recompile it. Such a version did exist before the block diagram was removed because it is impossible to create a new VI without a block diagram."
"Based on that information, it should be clear that once a VI is saved without diagrams:
You cannot open or run the VI on any other version of LabVIEW, older or newer."

How build stand alone application without labview

I have main vi and contain the sub vi i need build stand alone application without labview
how build stand alone application without labview?
thank and regard

I assume that the poster means to run this on a computer without the development environment installed. That is what the app builder is for. Review Altenbach's post. This being said, there will need to be a runtime engine installed on the target PC. You can 'bundle' that with your build application and install it together, although I usually prefer Not to do that, and make that a seperate step because it is rather large, and if the target already has it, then it is wasted space. Speaking of run time engine, I have seen negative reactions to it by my customers, but after sitting down and explaining that, with few exceptions, every application requires a run time engine. It is just that some are bundled with windows, or installed through windows update. Once explained, it usually quiets the opposition. [Paul steps off soap box now]

How do I build an application that will run without being installed?

I have seen some of the prior posts on trying to do this, but most of them were older, so I'll ask:
Using 7.1, how do I build an application that will run without having to install the runtime engine? I have a client that wants to run serial port monitoring VIs to watch some custom hardware we built for him. His IT dept. won't let him install anything. If I could make this VI run off of a USB thumb drive without needing anything installed on the system it would be ideal. Space is not a problem, so I could include any runtime files needed. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks

Under what operating system was it running under back in the 90's when it was working?
I think that starting with NT platforms (applies to 2000 and XP, but not 9x) the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) prevented direct I/O to serial ports. Serial port related code that ran fine on 3.x and 9x would not run under NT platforms without modification.
Just some food for thought, do not know if it applies to your situation.
Good Luck

Open vi reference problems in labview 7 after building an application

I have a vi with an Open VI Reference vi in it.
This works fine. But when I build an application of it and run the vi it gives problems.
I get an Open VI Reference error. Why?

If you have strict typedefs for the dynamic loaded VIs you need to include the line "BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs=False" into your LV ini file. See this discussion.

I am using LABview 5.0 and I am having difficulty with running EXCEL 2000 and my macros after I build an application.

Excel opens and runs the macros correctly in my development programme, but when I build an application and try to run it, Excel opens but does not put the data into the cells or run the macros. Excel opens and runs the macros correctly in my development programme, but when I build an application and try to run it, Excel opens but does not put the data into the cells or run the macros.
The error message is 'Object is not registered in set cell value.vi code-2147220997
I stress that it all works OK until the application is built. Set cell value.vi was downloaded from this site. I am using Windows 98.
Any help would be appreciated.

Be sure you have your Excel activex controls properly registered in your system, there are lots of activex registerers in the web. If this does not work, look at set cell value vi and check for invalid refnums. If even this fails, i'd try reinstalling app builder, but be sure you install it before any LV update (for example 5.0.1f1) unless you want problems like i had with Excel built examples. You can also send an example, and see if i can fix it, but i don't have excel 2000 (only 97) so i don't know if i can do anything else.
Hope this helps

Building an Application in Windows to be used in Linux (with the Run-Time Engine)

Hi All,
I have an LabVIEW project I have developed in a Windows environment. I can create an Application (.exe) using the Build Specification -> Application Builder which works fine on the development platform.
I now want to distribute the application to a Linux Environment. The OS is openSUSE v10.3 (with GNOME). I have downloaded the two rpm files needed for the run-time engine and installed them, as per here:http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/97E14BA3E0C14A89862572C300567733?opendocument&node=13207...
Now, the question is; how do I create an Application in Windows which can be used on the Linux Box? According to the Application Builder instructions, it's simply a case of removing the .exe extension in the Target File Name options, however, this gives an error "Invalid Extension."
If I do create an exe and manually remove the extention is doesn't work on the Linux enviroment (typing ./application).
Has anyone had experiance of this?
Many Thanks for Any Help,
Oliver

LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 8.2.1 for Linux

The cross-platform nature of LabVIEW refers more to the code than to the executable.
LV (given the appropriate development version) can compile the same source code into a Windows (using LV for Windows), Linux (using LV for Linux) or Mac (using LV for Mac) program.
This means you will still have three versions of your program, one for each platform.
If you want to distribute VIs (without block diagrams), you will also need different versions of these as without the block diagram, they cannot be re-compiled for a new platform.

Building an Application that reads html filename

I want to build an application that displays html files on the screen and when the user presses a button that gives a cue to the PCI-DIO-96 to give an o/p to external connected modular distribution panel that uses shift registers and from the panel (that's fed from a DC P.S.) to some bulbs. each html filename will be corresponding to a specific bulb.

Hello Taher,
I apologize for the long delay in responding to your support request. We've had a restructuring and I unfortunately misplaced our thread in the shuffle.
There are a lot of great resources for each portion of the program you are wanting to develop. It sounds like you have several components:
1)displaying an HTML file
2)conditional logic
3)digital output to DIO-96
You could display the HTML file in an embedded ActiveX control with a web browser (like Internet Explorer), if you are using Windows. There are several examples in LabVIEW that can help you do this, and you might take a look at the example at the following link:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B123AE0CB9AD111EE034080020E74861&p_nod
e=DZ52051
To accomplish the conditional logic that you need, you will probably want to use a loop and/or a case structure to determine which output port to pass to. To learn more about these structures, navigate to Help >> LabVIEW Bookshelf, and look at the Getting Started with LabVIEW manual. You can also find some great examples that use these structures by going to Help >> Find Examples and navigating to Fundamentals >> Loops and Structures.
The last requirement of your program, writing to the digital lines of your DIO card, offers a lot of possibilities. The best place to look when getting started with this type of program is again, to the example code. If you go to Help >> Find Examples, and navigate to Hardware Input and Output >> Traditional DAQ >> Digital Input and Output, there are quite a number of pre-written, working applications that you can start from.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you would like help on any specific aspect of your application.
Good luck!
