Can i install labview runtime engine 8.6 on windows nt

I have written an application on LV 8.6, but i would like to deploy it in my clent site which has only win NT. Is it possible?

The table muks posted refers to supported OS version. So maybe it will work, maybe not. If not, you won't get support from NI.
So in general i do not recommend you to do so (even if it works), but the decision is up to you.
hope this helps,

Trouble installing labview runtime engine

Can not install labview runtime engine. Says there is already a higher version installed.

Yes, this is a pain - and I have no idea why NI would design their installers in this way. I can think of no rational reason. In any case, the work around is to uninstall everything and then reinstall in a different order. For example, I ran into the problem was trying to install a runtime executable on a machine that already has some NI drivers installed. Part of that installation was that it installed the V7.1 runtime engine. When I then went to install my executable which was built in V7.0 it wouldn't install. To get around this bug I had to uninstall all NI software and then reinstall my executable and then the drivers, in that order.

Installing Labview runtime engine 2011

Hi,
Is it mandatory to uninstall any previous version of the Labview runtime engine before installing the 2011 verstion ?
Thanks.

No, you should actutally keep the older runtime engine installed in case you still have applications that depend on it. The 2011 run time will only support applications built with LabVIEW 2011.

Based on the message it appears it's having problems reading the file. Did you copy the files from a CD? From a network? The file itself may be corrupt. Try recopying the files to your hard drive. You may also want to check your hard drive for errors.

Install labview runtime engine in microXP?

Hi folks,
As the title says, did anybody try to install? I am getting error without any code in microxp 0.82.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Grasho,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, we are only able to support the RTE for a standard Windows XP Distribution. While I don't know exactly what MicroXP omits to create it's "lite" profile, it is an unofficial modification to the OS which the RTE installer was not designed to work with.
I'm sorry I'm unable to be of further help on this occasion.
Kind Regards,

Running Datasocket in labview 2013 open labview runtime engine 7.0

Hello All,
I am trying to communicate with a COGNEX camera using Labview 2013. I am using Datasocket to read tags from cognex OPC server.
but when I open labview and run the code for the first time. An installer will automatically pop up trying to install labview runtime engine 7.0.
When i cancel the installation datasocket throws an error. Again if i run second time, datasocket works fine and communicate with cognex camera using OPC.
This problem comes everytime I open labview and run the datasocket. I cancel the installer. second time onwards when i run the code everything works fine.
This is actually annoying and i doubt how things will work when i make an executable.
Need help.
Is this due to datasocket version installed... how to resolve this.

Hi phil,
That is interesting that you were unable to find the offending key that the installation is having trouble with. Do you have Administrator privileges on your computer? You may even want to try to log in as the actual Administrator itself to make sure that you have access to all of the proper registry keys. Also, I was going to say that I do think you're right with Windows XP not having the Scanreg/fix function, but there are several free programs that you can download as registry checkers. You may want to try one of those to see if you can find the key and give it the proper permission.
As far as the other part of your question, the Run-Time Engines are very important for LabVIEW to be able to run, but the 7.1.1 Run-Time Engine should not be affecting a LabVIEW 8.2 installation as it will use the 8.2 Run-Time Engine. One thing that you can do is go into your Control Panel under Add or Remove Programs>>National Instruments Software and you can try and repair/modify your Run-Time Engine there. If you already have the 7.1.1 Run-Time Engine on your computer, this is where it will show up so you can make any changes you want. Also, if you go to www.ni.com and click on "Drivers and Updates" on the right, you will be able to find the Run-Time Engine there that you will need, but I would definitely try using a downloadable registry checker first before attempting to change any of the software that is currently on your computer. As stated in the Knowledgebase article, this is actually an error from Windows saying that the registry key does not have the proper permission settings, so I am reluctant to say that downloading the new Run-Time Engine from our website will help much. Please try some of these suggestions out and let me know how they work out for you. Thanks!

Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine

Hi,
i have an issue with using a LabVIEW interop assembly in a .NET application. I get an exception "Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine" when calling the assembly.
The little test program is attached below. It's called dotNETHost.exe. If you excecute the programm a dialog with an button appears. Clicking the button shall open another dialog (the LabVIEW Interop component). But the only thing I get is the exception message. The ZIP folder also contains the complete exception meassage (ExceptionMessange.jpg & ExceptionDetails.txt).
The Interop Assembly was built with LabVIEW 2011. We use Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.. The dotNETHost.exe.config file is prepared as mentioned in Knowledge base - Loading .NET 4.0 assemblies.
The Interop assembly contains only one simple dialog (loop is finished by clicking OK) without calling any other VIs or other DLL's. In case of this there's also no support directory generated by the build process.
I have no idea why it doesn' work. I hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance
Kay

This may be unrelated, but Labview and .Net4.0 dont work well together. Not yet anyway. I had to compile my assembly in 3.5 to get it to work.

Install MAX with only LabVIEW runtime engine

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to install MAX from the Device Driver CD, when only LabVIEW RunTime engine is installed. There is no full installation of LabVIEW on that PC. That's MAX 3.1.1.3004 with LabVIEW RunTime Engine 7.1.
Patrick.

Dear Patrick,
The device driver CD usually does not have a single installation of MAX, but you can install MAX by installing most of the other drivers such as NI-DAQ, NI-488.2, NI-Serial, etc. MAX does not require LabVIEW, so you can have MAX and LabVIEW Run-Time without LabVIEW. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Marni S.

Can you put the labview runtime engine in a vi?

hello,
can you put the labview runtime engine in a vi when you build an application or do you need to install it separately on each computer that is going to run a labview application? thank you

I found the tutorials in labview help pretty good
Example: Building a Stand-Alone Application
Example: Building an Installer (Windows)
This certainly got me started working with the project explorer to build and deploy your application.
Hope this helps

Unable to install LV Runtime Engine 7.1.1 with LabVIEW Professional 8.5.1

I installed LabVIEW Professional Sys. for Windows (XP) 8.5 and then the 8.5.1 update. Somewhere in the original installation, LV Run-time Engine 7.1 was installed. But I need LV RTE 7.1.1. So I attempted to install RTE 7.1.1. Problem: The LV RTE installer aborts with the following message:
"Installation aborted. Newer version already installed."
Why do I need 7.1.1? I must run some commercial LV executables that were compiled with LV 7.1.1 and will not run under 7.1.

Well, I have to correct myself. MAX indicated that LV RTE 7.1 (not 7.1.1) was installed. My complied LV app indicated that 7.1.1 was not installed. I checked Windows Add New Programs and selected "National Instruments Software" I found that LV RTE 7.1.1 was, in fact, installed. So I selected LabVIEW Runtime Engine 7.1.1 and clicked Repair. After rebooting, My app works correctly. Again, MAX incorrectly displays LV RTE 7.1 (not 7.1.1). My app works, so I don't care.

Profibus-Connection with NI LabVIEW Runtime-engine

Hi,
I have a Profibus network running in our porduction lane.
Now we want to report several states of this production continously.
Therefore I want to connect a desktop-pc via profibus to the PLC. But I want to run the VI on the PC as an application(exe) with the NI LabVIEW runtime engine because I won´t install LabVIEW on this PC. (on my development computer I have LabVIEW 2011)
My question is:
Does the Profibus communication work if I run the VI that way if I add the needed "additional installer" to my installer file?
I´m quite sure that it will work but I want to check this point before ordering a Profibus-Board.
I hope you understand my question and give me a positive answer so I can order an new Profibus-PCI-Board
best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
the scenario you are describing sounds reasonable and that should work.
But in general, if you buy something at NI you can always call and describe your situation. Either the sales person can help you with your decision or in more complicated cases the sales person redirects you to a support engineer.
Best regards,

How do I build an executable w/o installing the runtime engine in the OS?

Hello everyone
I have developped an application with LabView 8.01 and build an executable for a customer, this works great, if I have administrator rights. But my customer don't have full administrator rights and they are not able to install the software (Runtime Engine). In LabView 6.0.1, to solve this problem we added the lvrt.dll and some support files directly to the application builder as support files and it worked without to install the runtime engine in the operating system.
How can this be done in LabView 8.0.1 and which files are needed?
I am thankfull for any advice.

hi,
you always need admin rights to install software.
I think it's not possible in labVIEW 8.01 to install the runtime without admin rights.
The costumer only has to the runtime one time, so he should try to contact his system administrator.
I've found no workaround for it.
Best regards.

Labview runtime engine plugin problem in Mac OS X

Hi:
We have just recently acquired a macBook Pro and am trying to test some instrumentation modules we have previously developed online for Circuit Theory courses on the MAc platform.
These VI's are installed on lab view server and we have no difficulty accessing them in Windows XP or Vista from a browser either Firefox or IE. Of course the latest version of runtime engine is installed on the pc prior to accessing the vi using remote panel and secondly we have to disable any virus protection software.
I have also installed the 8.5 version of LV runtime engine on the macbook with Leopard 10.5.x OS. I can see the LV plugin with the proper version in the Installed plug in check for the Safari browser. But every time the Remote panel is accessed I get a missing plugin message.
Here is the message:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page “Blackboard Academic Suite” has content of MIME type “application/x-labviewrpvi82”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/express?openagent&code=exck2m&
Do you want to open the page?
The page it suggests is the NI site for the plugin download?
I am really in a corner and donot know what I am doing is wrong? Any help will be appreciated?
Vishnu

I'm not a Mac expert, but it sounds like you are missing the LabVIEW Browser Plugin which is necessary to view remote front panels. That plugin installs with the LabVIEW runtime engine which you can find here. I don't think Safari requires any extra configuration to work with the plugin but it might... let us know if installing the runtime engine doesn't resolve the problem.

CIN (Code interface node) LabVIEW runtime engine dependency

Hello:
Am I correct that the old style CIN (code interface node) is not dependent on what version of LabVIEW runtime engine is being used?
However if I create a dll from say LabVIEW 8.2 I must then alway have LabVIEW runtime 8.2 installed on any newer machine with newer version of LabVIEW?
Thank You!

Hello:
What I have are old CIN (no source) that work in LabVIEW7.1 but will not work in LabVIEW 2010 (link error, object code not loaded).
What I thought I could do is generate dll from the vi's that contain the CIN using LabVIEW 7.1 with application builder.
I could use the Call Library Function from LabVIEW 2010 to load the 7.1 generated dll to effectively do what the old CIN accomplished
provided I installed the LabVIEW 7.1 runtime engine on my LabVIEW 2010 machine
Thanks for the input
If the CIN resource doesn't load you most likely changed the LabVIEW platform. LabVIEW for Windows 32 Bit and LabVIEW for Windows 64 Bit are different platforms. Just as LabVIEW for Windows and LabVIEW for Macintosh or Linux. A 32 Bit DLL, which a CIN is internally can't be executed in a 64 Bit environment at all.
Your solution fails for more than one reason here. LabVIEW will try to load and link a LabVIEW DLL into its actual runtime environment to avoid interprocess communication latency which would be inavoidable if the DLL is started in a seperate runtime engine, which is in fact a new process. If your issue is 32 bit to 64 Bit you won't be able to link the 7.1 32 Bit DLL into your LabVIEW 64 Bit application through the Call Library Node at all.

LabVIEW Runtime Engine 2010 NI_AALPro Error

Hi All,
I have an problem with the executable version of my LabVIEW program. I just created an LabVIEW program in LabVIEW Professional 2010 version to acquire some FFT spectrums so it also use some function palettes of Sound and Vibrations toolkit like Power Spectrum, Peak Search, Power in Band etc.
Then I just created an executable version of the program to run on a different system (Tools>>Build Executable Verion(EXE)). But when I tried to run the executable verion on a different system is showed some errors. I am attaching a printscreen of all errors showed.
So, the executable version of the program is working fine in the develoment system but showed some errors when we try to run it on a different system. We have already installed the LabVIEW runtime engine 2010 as well in the second system.
My one more question is when we build an executable version of a LabVIEW program then it should run on all PC without any other software (Runtime engine) because it got an extension of .exe
so is there any chance or way to build a totally standalone executable version of the program without using any runtime engine as well.
Thanks

Hi PSBRRR,
It seems like you didn't include all the dependencies of your VI or project to your build specification. Can you send a screenshot of the Source Files Setting page of the Application Properties dialog box ? You have to add all the VIs and DLLs that are used in the Sound & Vibration toolkit and any others you are using to your executable file or support directory.
For the last question : no you can't. Since LabVIEW 2010, the Run-Time Engine is like the "Java Virtual Machine". The compiled code inside your EXE is interpreted by the "LabVIEW Virtual Machine" included in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. That's why it requires the Run-Time Engine to be executed or at least the development environment (previous versions of LabVIEW didn't use this principle but it was also required to have the Run-Time Engine installed).

Da Helmut
