Can you build a new version of an exe without having to rebuild its installer afterwards?

I'm currently testing a LabVIEW-built exe on a PC without LabVIEW installed. Each time I go back to the development PC to fix a bug / change something, and then rebuild the executable, it seems I also have to rebuild its installer which takes a significant amount of time.
Is there a way to rebuild an executable without having to rebuild its installer? Or a way to tell the installer it doesn't need to be completely rebuilt, but rather just needs to look at the new executable?
After writing this out, I've realised there probably isn't a way to do it, but it's worth a shot.

In my opinion, it's just easier to create installers.
Yes, in your circumstance it would be. For me, I only have to worry about internal customers, so I am the only one that does the install; therefore, I don't have to worry so much about the details of the installation.

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to convert the response to pdf without the non-selected fields.
As a workaround, you can hide a particular column and then convert the response to pdf.

Can you load a new versions of adobe on top of an older version without losing functionality?

User has Adobe standard 10. She has just purchased Adobe 11 pro. can she keep 10 and install 11 on top?

Although we don't fully prevent such installation, the fact is that at Adobe we most strongly discourage this. Over the years we have seen way too many problems users get into by trying to have such parallel installations.
Because Acrobat interacts with system drivers (the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance) and applications (the PDFMakers for Office and other applications) unlike other Adobe applications such as Photoshop or Illustrator, you cannot maintain full functionality for both versions and unless the old version is totally removed, you may experience conflicts.
If you are trying to use two versions for some type of enterprise testing purpose, we would strongly recommend that you do this with VMs (virtual machines), one with Acrobat 10 Standard and the other with Acrobat 11 Pro.

Hi...how can you install a news version...without...Gologle & Yahoo toolbars?

Hi...why have you done this to Firefox????? No...Google or Yahoo toolbars???? Are you nuts......you have to add them.
Thanks....Tom Weeden

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I didn't actually build a package from it, because I didn't know where the problem was. So I just compiled a bunch of things the old fashioned way and ran them without installing anything until I had narrowed down the problem. But I'm sure there's an mplayer-svn in AUR I could use - good idea.

How can you play the project from a certain point without having to watch it over from the beginning?

I'm doing a project on iMovie and whenever I want to replay it replays from the beginning not from the point in the project that I would like to preview it from. How can I change this?

Move the playhead to wherever you want to start then press the space bar.

How can you view multi day events in month view without having to check the "all-day" box?

I have multi-day events that I would like to be able to view in the month view. The only way that I have found to do this is to make the event a "all-day" event. Is there another way to view these events in month view, or am I stuck?

It shows multi-day events that are "all-day" events.
But for a non "all-day" event that happens to span multiple days, it only shows the first day

Unless I'm missing something that article doesn't really tell you how to do it in the detail you need to perform the action. It also omits essentials such as using your previous library so you can open the library.itl file which gets irreversibly updated once you open it with a newer version.

If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

I figured out that it doesn't matter, actually it is Qsync, but other prgrams such Sugar Sync create teh same problem
The sync program adds a suffix to the files insite the numbers container
When looking at the files inside the Numbers file/folder, I saw this (note: Alphonse is the name of my computer):
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut staff   306B Mar 14 09:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 thibaut staff   272B Mar 14 09:30 ..

-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff    11K Jan 3 13:21 preview-web (from Alphonse).jpg
I renamed the files to remove the suffix, like this:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff    11K Jan 3 13:21 preview-web.jpg
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut staff   306B Mar 14 09:32 .

-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff   101K Jan 3 13:21 preview.jpg
That fixed the problem and the file now opens correctly in Numbers 3.
You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
and like magic the file can then be opend in Numbers V3.1

I have the latest version of Pages installed, yet there are documents I try to open and the message "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document". Help?

When I try to open some of my documents, the message "you need a newer version of Pages" appears; yet, I have installed the latest/newest version. How do I clear this up? Thanks.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?
