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!) 
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

  • Error 1856 yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error

    yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error any Ideas?

    Good start.
    Only two things I did differently. I used a new admin account. I opened a .mov file freshly downloaded from Apple's web site.
    Log into a different account with admin privileges (create a new one if necessary)
    Download a .mov file and store it on the hard drive.
    Open the .mov file.
    Move that same file to a temp folder on hard drive and assign rights to problem user.
    Log off and log in as the troubled user.
    That same file should now open
    Try opening one of the files that could not open before.
    If that doesn't work,  (I didn't do this, it was on another Apple support forum post elsewhere)
    Fully uninstall QuickTime
    Download the K-lite Codec pack (I downloaded the full version here http://www.free-codecs.com/Klite_codec_packdownload.htm)
    Install it and accept its changes it will make
    Once K-lite is installed, now you can re-install QuickTime
    Try opening the file again
    G'luck.

  • Installation and run problem

    The previous user of my computer used jdk1.3. However, I got error message when I run the program(there is no compile error). The message is:
    Error occured during initialization of VM
    java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
    Hence, I tried to install jdk1.3.1 and set the new path and classpath. Unfortunately, I cannot install it. I downloaded and installed jdk1.3.1 three times as well as jdk1.4 once. I always got error message:
    This self extracting executable file appears to have been corrupted and cannot be executed. You should obtain a new copy of this file to insure that it will execute correctly.
    I use Windows NT 4.0. I don't know this is the problem of my machine system or the problem of installation
    Please give me some suggestion!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Well, I'd say a Windoze error, but you may try:
    1. Try to uninstall Java, if it's available with the add/remove programs, and then install the new copy.
    2. If it cannot work, try to locate the files of the previous install (c:\jdk1.3 is most likely, but depends on your collegue.) If you find them, remove all. Update your start menu so it won't contain anything java-related, and delete the JavaSoft subdir in your "Program files" directory. Use regedit to edit your registry. Use it with caution - you may destroy your windoze. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, and delete the JavaSoft key (right-click, delete). Go to the WinNT directory, and the System32 subdir. There, delete the files java*.* Now you can try again to install it. If you still unable to do so, well, try to unzip the file (winzip will open it) to a temp directory, and run setup there.
    If it still cannot work, try to find another WinNT wkstation, and install the package there. It probably will succeed, so you have the only option - reinstall WinNT and all the programs.
    Bad news is that I've seen this happen once, and only Windows reinstall helped. However, "inheriting" a PC from someone, well, I'd prefer to reinstall everything for sure. Ain't need no sticky files of my collegues... :-)

  • Acarbat Freezed after installation and run it for Mac Pro!

    Dear all,
    I tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro to one station this morning (or install
    Adobe Reader 9 couple days ago), but the system hanged after installation
    and ran it. Clicking "force quit", it showed that "Acrobat (no response)".
    Following are the general description about the workstation and it is
    connected to Mac server.
    Workstation which tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro:
    - Mac Pro Processor: 2* 3GHz Dual-core Intel Xeon
    - Memory: 4GHz
    - Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Server
    - Mac Pro Processor: Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5
    - Memory: 3GHz
    - Mac OS X Server 10.5.6
    - Service: AFP, FTP, Open Directory (control the use login for all
    workstations)
    Installation procedures:
    - Login the workstation as an Administrator (local)
    - Install Acrobat 9 PRO
    - Registration
    - Shut down the workstation after installation
    - Restart the workstation
    - Use my unique name to login (all my files are stored in Server)
    Problem:
    - Double-click "Acrobat 9 Pro" to run the software, it hangs
    or
    - Click one PDF file and use "Open with" to select "Acrobat 9 Pro", it
    hangs again.
    Does anyone have the same situation or have any idea to solve this
    problem?
    I really appreciate your kind help.

  • 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.

    Hi, 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

  • Pages 2 doesn't do anything after installation and run!

    Just intalled iWork 06 and when I start KN3, it says the application has unexpectedly quit.
    When I start Pages 2, it asks me to register, then Pages opens, but nothing happens. I see the menubar and then if I try to start a New Document, nothing happens...
    if I try to open a txt doc, it says it can"t open it!
    Seems iWork 06 installation is flawed..
    I'm working on Tiger, latest current update, on a quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz.
    Keynote 2 still launches just fine!

    I don't think that this error is the problem - looking in fnd_td_mig_cmds, it seems that the error accured in 16:07 in 4/9, but after this there were many command that succeed - when the last of them was in 17:45,
    Moreover, it seems from fnd_td_mig_cmds that in 6/7 in 13:30 , a few more tables were moved, and now the migration process on 3.64% instead of 3.6%. but nothing new was written in any of the log files, and I can't find any other errors in the table or in the report.
    In fnd_id_mig_cmds there are 4 rows with status that is not 'SUCCESS' - the one error mantioned above, and 3 move commands:
    alter table "hr"."PER_ALL_ASSIGMENTS_F" MOVE TABLESPACE APPS_TS_TX_DATA" NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
    alter table "hr"."PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUE_F" MOVE TABLESPACE APPS_TS_TX_DATA" NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
    alter table "hr"."PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_F" MOVE TABLESPACE APPS_TS_TX_DATA" NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
    As I mentioned in my previous post, there are 3 open cmd window on the server of the utility. Can it mean that the migration is just going very slow? and what is it possible to do about?I do not see any similar hits on MOS website except for (Oatm Conversion Is Hanging While Generating Migration Command [ID 445020.1]).
    and yes, there are a lot of objects that weren't migrated..I checked some new tablespaces and some old, and they all have segments.I still suggest you fix the issue mentioned in your first post and do the migration again. You may also log a SR and see what Oracle support would suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Portege R100: 4GB SD card runs very slow - unable to format

    Laptop working fine, no issues when using 1GB SD card. When 4GB SD card inserted PC runs very slow. Eventually I am able to run Toshiba SD Memory Card Format software (latest download version). It doesn't seem to recognise 4GB card. Unable to format. When tried later with 1GB card everything works well.
    Has anyone been able to get a 4GB SD card working ?
    I am not sure whether the laptop software needs a patch, or if 4GB card is not fully compatible with SD card standards, though it was bought from reputable supplier.
    Graham

    Hi
    I think its nothing wrong with the software but the SD card is simply not 100% compatible.
    In the last time the SD card sizes increase rapidly.
    I think the card reader and the software were not designed to handle such big SD card like this one.
    How about buying an external SD card reader?
    Such devices are not very expensive and I think the newest generation should be able to handle also the 4GB SD cards.

  • Create shortcut and run BI Frontend tools without Backend installation

    I have new machine, I want to install BI 7.0 frontend only. Is it possible to run BI frontend (Bex Analyser, WAD, Web Analyser) without installing Backend. Using start menu, I am trying to create shortcut for BI front end tools on the desktop. which is asking for system information. but it doesn't give any popup for to enter system information. Where and How to enter system information ?

    I am not sure if i get your qustion properly,when you say Back end ,you mean BW system??
    You need BW system some where on this planet for your front end to work,its not imperative to have BW box on to your desktop.
    Front end-Bex talks to BW and for that BW needs to be installed somewhere ,you can connect to BW box from anywhere with front end using local network where the BW system is installed or remote access or portal.
    Hope it Helps

  • 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."  

Maybe you are looking for
