Create Installer and disable reboot now
I'm building a couple of installers, and both of them ask me to restart after I install them on a non-LabVIEW computer. They contain the LabVIEW RTE as well as NI-VISA runtime components.
I've noticed that I can install them and click "Restart Later" and the applications will run without error. Is there any way I can suppress the "Restart Now" message after my installer completes?
That may very well be true, but I'm only using NI-VISA in order to do some basic serial (RS-232) communication.
As I've said, I've installed the two applications I'm building, ignoring the reboot prompts both times, and then proceeded to run and use both applications (again, without a reboot). Both worked without errors.
I agree that it may not be a "good idea" or good practice by any means, but for convenience's sake... it'd be a huge bonus. I'd hate to write up instructions for my apps that include several lines of "Press 'Reboot Later' if the installer prompts you to restart your computer."

Why does it have to be this difficult? JES installation and a reboot
Hi,
I downloaded JES for Windows, and I went through the default installation and configuration process. Everything works fine. I can use the Access Manager screens to create users and I got one of the example programs working that allows me to test remote authentication via LDAP.
Horray!
However, when I shut my machine down and restart, I'm not able to remotely login as before. I'm starting the Webserver and Application Server using the start-menu buttons that were provided, but the sample remote login program won't work. I can't even get access to the web screens for the Access Manager, although I know that the app server is running on ports 8080 and 4849. I also managed to create a script to start the dsadm.exe process, but still no avail.
What else am I missing?
Thanks,
BruceDid you start cacaoadm ?? This is known to come into play for Remote administration/actions.
The sequence I'd follow would be:
1. Cacaoadm restart
2. DS restart
3. AppServer-domain1 restart.
Also if you are having any issues with the Console access after recycle you can look into the debug logs (path for debug logs is specified in the AMConfig.properties file) for traces on errors. If you dont see any relevant information there, you may want to turn on debugging in the AMConfig.properties, recycle Access Manager and try.
Attribute that enables (flood gates) debugging:
# error is default, whereas message is for debugging
#com.iplanet.services.debug.level=error
com.iplanet.services.debug.level=message

Create installer and running: MsiError 87: Unable to format error record.
Ever since I have installed the Labview 2011 beta I am in trouble when creating installers that include the NI runtime.
Whether it is Labview 2010 or 2011, when I have created the installer and run it, I -and everybody else- gets the warning:
MsiError 87: <Unable to format error record.>
And the installer qwill quit.
When I exclude the runtime from the installer it works nicely. What can I do to fix it?Did any of you actually read the beta agreement?
Issues with the beta are not be be discussed in public so don't keep posting here.
The terms and conditions of the beta program are posted on the beta site and you agreed to them, so make sure to fully understand them. The only public information is that a beta exists. Everything else is confidential.
Let me put it in a few simple words:
"Welcome to Fight Club beta. The first rule of Fight Club beta is: you do not talk about Fight Club beta. The second rule of Fight Club beta is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club beta!)

Creating Installer and DAQ-MX: Error Code
Hi,
I found this question was asked a few times back in 2009 and 2007 but the answesr on the forum don't really help me - partially because they say : oh it just worked.
I'm trying to craete my first installer for a LabView project.
It is simply a DAQ assistant for an NI Card. I am trying to move my application from a comptuer with LabView to the one with the card = without labview and I'd rather not install labview on both.
When I include DAQ-MX and the Run Time module I get this error code fro the installer.
Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:

I think it means that it's not finding the CD from where to get this install wizard? Is that it? Well it is never prompting me for a media where to find this file... so I'm stumped.
Any help would be appreciate, I'll reply on the weekend too!
Thanks!
Also, I<m trying to craete an installer for a .net application. Anything I need to know in particular for that? i.e. where do I include my .dll file? Does that go in the source files?
Thanks.
I've attached the only file in my project that I am trying to install...
Lol.
Solved!

Encoder Testing.vi 68 KBHi, the message "...KB5Q5FJ4QW" basically means knowledge base (KB) 5Q5FJ4QW. You can check it here. In summary, the NI Security Update force all users to be administrators, for security purposes, otherwise their applications won't run. The article states that you have two option:
1 - Download and install NI Security Update 5Q5FJ4QW from Drivers and Updates to each machine. OR
2 - After installing the update to a development machine, rebuild an application installer that includes the LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine and run it on each target machine.
I hope this helps

A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
Try a clean reinstall.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Order of installation and reboots using smpatch/updatemanager
Using updatemanager it tells me it has installed a certain set of patches and that others require a reboot and will be installed then - fine. I can then download and install further patches as long as any dependencies are met.
But if I download the patches using smpatch I get an information file telling me the order in which patches should be installed and where reboots are needed. Here's an example:
patchpro_dnld_2006.07.24@17:47:18:EST.txt
This patch bundle was generated by PatchPro.
Please refer to the README file within each patch for installation
instructions. To properly patch your system, the following patches
should be installed in the listed order:
1) 120887-06
2) 118557-05 !!! IMMEDIATE REBOOT !!!
3) 122027-04 !!! IMMEDIATE REBOOT !!!
4) 122856-02
Now my reading of the above is that I should install 1) then 2) do a reboot, install 3) and do a reboot then install 4) - as that is the listed order. And if I don't do this then I have installed the patches properly
But running smpatch update it installs 1) and 4) straight away and reports that 2) and 3) will be installed at next reboot:
Installing patches from /var/sadm/spool...
120887-06 has been applied.
NOTICE: Patch 118557-05 cannot be installed until the next system shutdown.
NOTICE: Patch 122027-04 cannot be installed until the next system shutdown.
122856-02 has been applied.
And at next reboot there is only a single reboot and both patches are applied.
So what's with the instructions in the patchpro* file? Are these just overly conservative guidelines or what?
Thanks.If patch 4 is not dependant on either patch 2 or 3 then there's no problem installing it before either 2 or 3.
However sometimes I have seen an error:
ALERT: Failed to install the patch {0} xxxxxx-xx
which I believe means that the patch has a dependency on another patch which can't be installed because it needs an immediate reboot.
After doing the reboot you might find that you can go back and run in these extra patches which caused the error the first time around.
Just my interpretation for what it's worth.

Error after install reboot: Now I cannot continue Installation
So I'm working with a new MBPro which was running Leopard.
I put the disk in, it started to install, rebooted, installed for another 10 minutes and then I got an error and had to restart.
I was brought to the Welcome, Select a Language dialogue box (cringe).
Now I am stuck at a screen where it tells me to continue installing, I tell it to and I get a, cannot install error.
I'm stuck! I've tried repairing the volume in Disk Util, no luck.
In terminal I can still access my root in /Volumes/Mac HD/Users...Restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup you made of the original installation and try again. Alternatively, since it's new, use the restore disks that shipped with the machine and restore those, make a bootable backup/clone onto an ext FireWire HD, and try again.

I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program. Now what?
I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
I had to change my Apple ID and password. Now when I try to download or buy an app it says your Apple ID is disabled. How can I fix this?
If it says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons", then you will just need to change you password by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
If it does not says "...for security reasons" you will have to contact the iTunes Store to have your account 'un-disabled' http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Good Luck. -
I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?
The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. -

Creating installer with office toolkit 1.1.1 and labview 8
HI All,
I am developing a large application with labview 8 and office toolkit 1.1.1 installed.
We need to make an installer to distribute our application to all of
our contractors (hundreds of them) for direct them in methods of
procedure during construction, conformance reporting, inspection and
test plan reports and finally uploading data gathered during
installation and testing to our network assets database.
I have successfully programmed the code in Labview 8 and have the
report generation functioning satisfactorialy, but when i create the
executable, i get the following message when trying to generate a
report:
Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference in New Report.vi->PrintWordReport.vi->Compile MOP.vi->COAT_Top Level.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or
deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the
operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, :
on Mac OS, and / on Linux.
NI-488: Non-existent board.
VI Path: C:\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\NATIONAL
INSTRUMENTS\COAT\builds\COATAppBuildScript2\My
Application\Application.exe\Word_Open.vi
Built Application or Shared Library (DLL): Make sure all dynamically loaded VIs were properly inc
Fair enough..... i consulted the toolkit manual which said that i need
to include the following llb's in the source file in the builder: "
_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb.
When i include these llb's in the top level folder in the project
window and try to build the exe again, i get the following"The file
already exists in the destination.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
BUT my destination directory is in the "my documents" folder, not in the above path!!!
What is going on?????
Problems part II ---
in the toolkit, there are different excel and word llb's for each different version of office.
This application has to distribute to many different computers, each with different versions of office.
How do i include the correct llb's for the correct version of office for every PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.......
regards
JohnHello John,
I. How are you adding the support files? Are you adding them when creating the executable in the source files configuration page of the build script, and if so are you marking them as dynamic VIs?
II. That’s a tough one. Since the ActiveX structure changes from one version of office to the next it would be difficult to create one executable that will work on all versions. Currently you need to have the same version on your dev machine as you do your target. Sometimes you can get away with not having the exact same version if you are only doing very generic things and the ActiveX structure hasn’t changed for those things between versions, but that is a little risky. It may be a good idea to build a couple of versions of your VI for the two or three most recent versions of Office

Chris J
