Create installer from exe file not a vi or llb

In LV 5.X one could create a distribution kit from a exe file. Can this be done in LV 6.1? I want to create my exe file, then do some alteration too it and then create an installer for the modified exe.

Open the VI project\install.llb\Install Build Installer.vi. This VI is automatically called by the builder to create installation files.
You can put this VI on "Pause" to allow you to modify the executable before the installer bundles the files for installation and resume execution thereafter.
You can also simply let its FP open, let it run as usual and rerun it with the same FP controls values after your modifications are done.

Installer from exes built in multiple versions?

I have an application which includes several executables from which an installer is built in LabVIEW. The executables have all been built in the same version of LabVIEW, but now I need (for reasons I won't go into) to build an installer from exes built in different versions of LabVIEW. Anyone tried this? I presume I can just compile in the respective versions, paste the exes into the expected locations and run the installer build spec?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can include any files you want in an installer (so you can include the output of another build from another project), but remember you'll also need to make sure the correct version of the LabVIEW Run-time is installed for each one. If you're not including the runtime in your installer then this isn't a problem but something to bear in mind.
You can also include other installers in your installer I believe as well - you could have an installer for each LV version that includes those applications and the appropriate LVRT and then another installer which includes those.
It can get complicated but you should be able to get it working.

Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files

I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
Thanks!

Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).

Creating pdf from clipboard does not import images or formatting

Creating PDF from clipboard works perfect in acrobat X however in acrobat XI no images are imported and the text just defaults to times roman font. My wife uses acrobat for her craft patterns and copies from the web all the time with no issues in Acrobat X. She tried it on Acrobat XI and it just looks like garbage. The text is there but the images that were copied along with the text are not. I have examples that she did using the exact same clipboard in both X and XI.

I guess I must not understand how you are transferring the items to the clipboard. Is the browser the same one you used with AA X?
Yes, I used the same browser (Chrome) with AA X and AA XI.

When I did it with AA XI, I used the mouse (on a PC) to select the text and figures in my browser and copied that info to the clipboard (ctrl-C on the PC and I assume similar on the MAC).
Yes, the procedure for copying info to the clipboard is similar for a Mac and a PC. I select the info (in this case, text and graphics) with the mouse, and can copy it to the clipboard with either Command-C (Mac equivalent of ctrl-C), or by right-clicking on the highlighted info and choosing "copy" from the pop-up window. I do not have to use Print Screen in conjunction with this procedure. If I use Print Screen, it copies everything that my monitor displays and the results of a paste are an image.
Is there something I am missing about getting the web page parts wanted to the clipboard? If you clip the items into a graphics packages, does the graphics show up as desired?
No, you are not missing anything. All of the web page parts are in the clipboard. The problem is that only the text is showing up when I use the create PDF from clipboard option in AA XI. I do not have a graphics package installed; however, if I paste the clipboard contents into Word, both the text and graphics show up.
I checked the PDF created with my AA XI and found the text as text and the the graphic as graphic, not simply a graphic as you suggested. Is it possible the graphic is shown with a place holder or just space for the graphic. If that is the case, check the preferences that you have "view large images" turned on.
As I explained ad nauseum, the PDF I try to create with AA XI using create PDF from clipboard does not include the graphics; it only has the text. I just checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. I could not find any other preference settings that would seem to help with the problem I am having.
I can paste the clipboard contents directly into Word and print the document to a PDF. When I do that, though, I usually have to spend a lot of time editing the Word document, because the contents are not in the same format. The paragraphs are usually squashed together, or the photos are too large and I have to change the size. This just takes up more time than I have to spend.
The bottom line is that it seems to me Adobe must have changed something in the Mac version of AA XI that causes it to not work the same way it does in AA X. The PC version is obviously okay, because you are able to get the feature to work.
I guess I am going to have to give up on this problem and stick with using AA X.
Thanks again for all your help.

Upgrading from Luna to Marse our ant build scripts stopped creating the launcher exe files

Hi,
I upgraded our product to Mars from Luna but when i now kick off our ant script that produces the our product (from all the targets that we want so windows 32/64, linux and macosx (now with mars only 64 bit))
It does create the zip files that has all the plugins and so on.
But no executable, (which should be in our name servoy.exe and servoy.ini)
We only have a eclipse.ini (so not the launchers name) and no exe file what so over.
If i run it from eclipse product file/editor itself (so export product) then it works.
Any idea where i need to search?
In our script we call this:
<ant antfile="${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/productBuild/productBuild.xml" />
to get the product build started up. As i said in Luna this all worked just fine.

Hi,This typically happens if there are no specific platform objects
available. I think you miss the platform specific components.

Creating win 32 exe files from java class files

Hi I am using windows 2000.
I have developed a java swing gui application that has about 10 class files. I downloaded the microsoft sdk for java 4.0 for converting all my class files into a single .exe file. I used jexegen in this SDK to do this process. But when I double click the exe file, it just pops up and closes instantenously without showing my startup frame.
Can anyone help ?

There is no Microsoft solution for this until you get J#, change your program
(J# is a little bit different that java but not much, it's closer to Java than C#)
and then compile to Win32 .exe.
For the refrence list of all Java to Native code compilers, check this page:
http://www.geocities.com/marcoschmidt.geo/jcomp.html#native :
Different from "normal" compilers (like javac or jikes), native compilers do not create bytecode files
(.class) that are interpreted by a Java Virtual Machine but native executables (like .exe files on
Windows). "How do I create an EXE from Java?" is a very frequently asked question in newsgroups
like comp.lang.java.programmer, native compilers are the answer. Some native compilers are listed

Creating PDF from Office files in Acrobat X for Mac

Dear All - I just installed the Mac version of Acrobat X (with the newest dot release upgrade). I was surprised to find (on my installation anyway) that the only way to create a PDF from an Office document is from within Mac Office, using the print command to create an Adobe PDF.
There is no way to use Create PDF from the initial screen or the menu bar of Mac Acrobat X to convert an existing .doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, etc. file - the dropdown list of supported formats doesn't include any of the Office formats. Nor does dragging an Office file's icon onto Acrobat's icon work.
I know from the video tutorials on adobe.com that the Windows version of the Acrobat X product does support direct conversion of Office files without having to open them first in Office. Is there something screwy with my particular installation, or is the exclusion of Office conversion in the Acrobat application (as opposed to through Office) a "feature" of the Mac version for some reason?
Many thanks.
Bob

That's a good question, but I don't have a definitive answer. I know that Adobe has claimed to be working on providing PDFMaker capabilities (at least partially) for the Mac, but we haven't seen anything yet. PDFMaker was dropped as of version 9, but even before then, it was considerably less capable than the Windows version.
I believe there are techincal limitations on the Mac that prevent them from integrating it with Microsoft Office products. I know that on WIndows, Office needs to be installed for PDFMaker to work, so Acrobat (PDFMaker) relies in part on MS Office functionality. If the same APIs aren't available on the Mac, there's not a lot they can do apart from implementing a conversion process that does not rely on MS Office, which sounds to me like a considerable undertaking.

Launch Wine programs from menu: FIle not Found

I have installed eMule with wine, and get the "File not found" message when running it from the menu.
This was discussed in THIS thread, but none of the possible solutions work for me
Original:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/daerunarch/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/daerunarch/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/eMule/eMule.lnk
Doesn't work
Edited the menu entry with alacarte:
wine 'C:\Program Files\eMule\emule.exe'
doesn't work
wine '.wine/drive_c/Program Files/eMule/emule.exe'
doesnt' work
wine "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/eMule/emule.exe"
doesn't work
wine "/home/username/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/eMule/eMule.desktop"
dosen't work
Also all the previous begining with "env WINEPREFIX=" instead of "wine". Nothing worked o_0 What should I try now?

Turvyc, I know about aMule and have used it, but stuck to eMule because of some features it didn't have. If I can't run eMule I might as well return to aMule, as I know how to migrate configurations.

Exe file not working with forced download script.

I have a captivate file that I exported as an exe file for
pc. It works fine when I download it from the server using the
direct URL to the file but I don;t want people to actually see
where it is located so I have a used a force-download php script.
When I download it by way of the script... it downloads, but the
file won't play. All I get is a DOS window pop up and then goes
away. Same file...any ideas?
The php file I'm using to force the download is below...
<?php
$filename = $_GET['file'];
// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression'))
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
// addition by Jorg Weske
$file_extension =
strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
if( $filename == "" )
echo "<html><title>Download

USE force-download.php?file=filepath</body></html>";
exit;
} elseif ( ! file_exists( $filename ) )
echo "<html><title>Download

Record audio from .exe file

Hi we had created an entire project of 2.5 hours of around 140 slides using Adobe Captivate 6. We had put the slide notes as text and published an .exe file and shared the same with the client.
However, now we have lost the source captivate .cptx file and have to redo the project from scratch. We have the powerpoint presentation for each slide so putting the objects as per the .exe is not an issue.
We figured the easiest way to have the audio is to record directly from the .exe and then put the audio files in captivate, rather than putting slide notes and repeating the entire process.
Is there a way to directly record audio from the .exe file? This will reduce our effort with respect to the pronunciation of words.

Double-click your .exe file and let it run, do not close. If you're on Windows 7 go to
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Temp\
and look for a folder like CPE7770.tmp. You can use the date and time stamp to locate this folder.
Your swf file will be there.
If on another Windows OS, the path should be similar.
You can also use software like Audacity or Audition to record audio from your computer. Set up will depend on your system config.
Cheers,
Seth

Cannot create iView from PAR file

I am trying to create an iView from PAR file. But when I select the option,
"Portal component - create an iView from a portal component contained in a deployed portal archive (PAR) file"
and click next, I get the following error.
Error______________________________________
Step 1: Portal Archive Selection
No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates.
I have portal_configurator and developer roles assignmed to myself. Which other role do I need? I cannot get admin role.
Note: Other users with admin roles can create iViews.

Hi
What is your portal version details ?
In EP 7.0 you do not have the option -- New From PAR.
So to create IView from Par, you should select the option New --> IView and then there will be an option to select par file.
Otherwise
1.Check if your par file is deployed on server.
2. Check the portalapp.xml, if you have configured your components properly.
