Create installation using 8.5 Project

I'd like to know if there is a single, comprehensive source for creating installation files (setup.exe) with LV 8.5 project. I have a standalone executable that uses the vision toolkit so I have to include the vision RTE. But I'd like to simpify the install process as much as possible for the end user. Is there a user's manual that I'm missing? Is there a third-party book I can buy?
This is the first impression that the customer will get of the software and its currently very cumbersome.

Try this white paper from the NI site. It covers how to deploy your code and to do what you want via the installer creation portion of App builder.

How to create Installation in ISU using fm ISU_S_INSTLN_CREATE

Hi,
Could anyone please help me in creating an installation using the function module ISU_S_INSTLN_CREATE?
I am not aware of what all parameters and tables should be passed to this function module.
Please reply.
Thanks & Regards,

Creating installer without Distrubution of MAX

I am creating installer but with it MAX shortcut is getting loaded on desktop.How to avoid MAX on desktop while creating installer using LABVIEW 8.5?

When you create the installer, select to export
the MAX configuration so that will be included in your installer and exclude MAX as part of the installer. You should find this in additional installer options while building.

Using an iDVD project to create a glass master for replicati

Hello, I hope someone can help me with this question.
I am aware that creating a project in DVD studio pro and exporting it to DLT is one way to go for a media source that can be used by a replication company to create a glass master for replication. I am curious to know if I could send a disk I created in iDVD to a replication company for creation of a glass master?
Given that a disk created iDVD is acceptable for this purpose, are there any disadvantages to this compared to the DLT method? Is compression quality inferior? Are the menus created in iDVD more prone to problems?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thx for your answer, i use Labview 8.6 to interact with the API, So i don't know if I interpreted rightly your code...
I've managed to create an empty project file (.tpj) with "Engine.NewPropertyObjectFile (6)"
With the "rootworkspaceObject.NewFile(filePath),0" A pop-up appear to select the file (so it must be created before like above).
What i've done is:
- Creating the file as a project file "Engine.NewPropertyObjectFile (6),(Path)."
- I write the new file to disk "PropertyObjectFile.WriteFile(format)" and "PropertyObjectFile.SaveIfModified"
- Then i try to associate The existing .TPJ file to the RootWorkspaceObject "WorkspaceObject.NewFile(Path)" and "WorkspaceObject.InsertObject(Index)"
-At last I save modification of the association "WorkspaceFile.SaveWorkspaceAndProjectFiles(option)"
There is no error and when i open the workspace in teststand, there is no .pjt in the workspace tree...What i'm missing...
So this does not work for me..
Cheers
Martin

New a vmware project (create hello world plug-in project),how to use it as a normal plug-in on orchestrator??

eclipse sdk (indigo 3.7.2) windows 7 64bit
vcenter orchestrator 5.1 (windows 2008 R2)
vmware - vco- plug-in SDK 5.1
i installed vmware-vco plug-in sdk 5.1 to eclipse 3.7.2,then i created a vmware project(choose create hello world plug-in project)
how to do next??
I export the project as a jar file,rename it as .dar ,and put it to the vmware/infrastructure/orchestrator/app-server/server/vmo/plugins,,
then i upload the .dar file,,it reminds me installed failed....
thanks so much!!!

i don't think you have to rename the jar and create a dar. Once you have build successful you should get the dar file.

First of all, you need to be using a project. The project should include any source files and any other files you will want to include in your installer.
Then you create a build specification for an executable. Once that is built, make a build spec for the installer. The installer should include any NI compenents you may need to run your program (like the Run-Time Engine). You can also specify where files will be installed..

Hi Jessica,
If I'm understanding your question correctly you're running
the EJB tutorial that's being shipped with the 8.1 beta correct?
I just did a quick check on my installation of the pre-beta installer
and didn't see it there so it's possible there's a bug in the installer
or something. At any rate, I've attached a zipped up copy of that
tutorial code here. Hope that helps.

Incompatible signature after creating a new Flex mobile project in Flashbuilder 4.6

When I create a new flex mobile project and try to build it right away it gives me this error
1144: Interface method initialize in namespace mx.core:IUIComponent is implemented with an incompatible signature in class utest.
I have tried reinstalling Flash Builder and even upgraded from 4.5 to 4.6 to try and resolve this problem.
I have also tried using different versions of the Adobe Air sdk (I'm currently using Air 3.4).
Here is the projects mxml file, if that helps although it doesnt have anything but the generated code.
utest.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Also I am running Flash Builder 4.6 on Windows 7 32-bit
Thanks in advance for the help
Edit:
I have now tried the flash builder 4.7 trial and even 4.6 on a different machine, both were clean installs, and I have found that when i create a new project it does compile
until I get an error, and this can be any error, then after I fix that error it gives me the same error as before
1144: Interface method initialize in namespace mx.core:IUIComponent is implemented with an incompatible signature in class utest.

Hi Gsaison,
Do you have any progress on these issues? Im working on the same solution right now (SWV + GoogleMaps JS v3 ) I've got some weird issue when i try to spawn a StageWebView inside a View on IOS, it appears inside a scroller and is not open for finger interaction anymore. I use the eskimo framework, but then again, nothing fancy going on there for the rest. I've tried all of the the stage.stageScaleMode options but non of them work. Got any help?
Kind regards,
Roy

Lync 2013 client installation using SCCM

Hi everyone,
I have been performed Office 2013 installation in my domain. For this puprpose, I used SCCM 2007 R3.
At the beginning I customized this installation using OCT. I have excluded Lync from my Office 2013 distribution package, because we use Communicator Server 2007. Afterwards, I found that it is possible to use Lync 2013 with OCS 2007: http://www.technipages.com/lync-2013-fix-cannot-sign-in-because-the-server-version-is-incompatible-with-microsoft-lync-error.html
How can I silently deploy Lync on workstations, which already have received Office 2013 without Lync? If I simply try to add Lync feature in my package using OCT, silent installation stops on "Add/remove/repair components..." (which,
we, of course, cannot see during a silent setup).

You could utilize Config.xml to deploy Lync client. This will make installation silently.

Hi Juke,
Thanks for you answer. But actually not all is clear for me. In this article, I can see this:
"By default, the Config.xml file that is stored in the core product folder (for example, \product.WW) directs Setup to install that product. For example, the Config.xml file in the following folder installs Lync 2013:
\\server\share\Lync15\Lync.WW \Config.xml"
But in my Office 2013 installation folder, the Lync.WW folder does not exist.
Should I create it (and Config.xml too) manually? Can I remove other folders like Excel, Word from Office2013 installation folder?

Exporting the Browse Sequence XML file for Use in Another Project

When I generate a browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.
My workaround was to auto-create the browse sequence at a 0 level and then manually manipulate it to output according to how my readers would actually read my online book (ie A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).
Now that I have my browse sequence in the correct order for this project, I do not want to repeat these steps every time I create a new version of my OLH for the same guide after some minor updates have been made to the FM source.
There is a file named whbrs.xml inside the output folder and it contains the browse sequence order I specified during my workaround steps.
Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project referencing the same guide?
This methodology is much preferred as I am working at an enterprise level with multiple documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my workaround for each project I update over the next few years.

Hi Kristopher
You probably wouldn't want to use that particular file as it's an output file. You would likely have better luck using the ProjectName.BRS file as that one should be a source file.
However, keep in mind that whether (or how well) this will work will entirely depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.
Cheers... Rick
