Can Packagemaker create installer with content files outside the bundle?

I'm trying to create an installer with Packagemaker, but the content files need to be outside the final bundle because they're shared with a Windows installer.
I thought I could create a symbolic link to the external folder, but instead of linking from the installer, it copied the files into the bundle. Any idea how to do this, or if it's even possible? I need to be able to do this on 10.3+, if that's relevant.
(I can give a more specific scenario if this isn't clear enough)
Thanks!

The main issue I'd be worried about is that the external files (which are quite large) won't have the appropriate progress bar. The external files are around 1GB, while the internal files are in the 30MB range.
How about installing a secondary installer with progress bar that copies these files from the correct location. Your postflight script can just kick off the newly installed file copier.
How's this sound for a hack...
Have a launcher script copy the installer to /tmp, then modify the package to point my files. (I'm installing from read-only media.) It would then open the modified installer which would pull my files from the DVD. This would probably work better (read: at all) if the files aren't compressed inside the package. Do you know if that's an option?
No, sorry. The internals of a package are quite specific. You need PackageMaker itself to build them.
Things like the receipts are non-essential at this point, only because if I can't get this to work then we will continue to use our terrible installer which leaves none of those things. Those shouldn't be too much trouble if I can get the rest to work.
There are some 3rd party installers like Installer VISE. The sad part is that they tend to make the MacOS X Installer look good.
If the guy responsible for that is interested I'll show him Inno Setup, but we have a working Windows installer, so he probably won't want to mess with it.
I agree, but tell him about it anyway. The next time you have to build a Windows installer, he could use Inno Setup and get it done in a couple of hours and then have time to help with the mess that is software deployment on MacOS X.

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..

Multiple errors with DSC modules modbus master and slave

Hi,
I've searched quite a lot of posts but haven't found solution for my problem. I'm playing with LabVIEW DSC module and it's modbus master and slave functionalities. Even the LabVIEWs own modbus examples (Modbus Simulator and Fundamentals) seem to work randomly or not at all: When checking the Variable Manager utility Modbus Simulator (i.e. modbus slave/server) seems to deploy variables correctly with good quality but Modbus Fundamentals (i.e. modbus master/client) most often shows unknown value or bad quality for all the variables. When running the VIs I get 'Error -1950679035 Unable to locate variable in the Shared Variable Engine' and sometimes some other errors too. If the Modbus Simulator (slave/server) is expected to work fine I guess I should get two slaves communicating, but this isn't happening either. So maybe Modbus Simulator example isn't working either.
I've tried undeploying and deploying the libraries, stopping and starting the SVE, booting PC, reinstalling DSC module, and setting firewall and antivirus software off. This problem is going on with two different computers, both of which have recently installed LabVIEW 2011, first PC with Win XP and second PC with Win 7. No other OPC servers should be installed to these computers. And what is really interesting, the problem seems to have nothing to do with my network since Simulator and Fundamentals examples are not working even if the network cable is unplugged!
Any suggestions? Replies are highly appreciated!

V8 has the same feature, but the words are different.
The Generator typically uses the Driver time base, and the Gl. Var Write is writing once per block.
So, to see all values, you must have a block size of one.
I set up the Driver timebase to 10 Hz, block size of 1. The Generator and the Read Variable default to the Driver timebase.
The Generator is making a 2 Hz Rectangle waveform. YOu can see that it's shifted, but otherwise intact.

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
John

Hello 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

Controller supervision with dsc module

hello,
i have to configure an HMI with labview for supervision of the plc m3 of crouzet. i have done all the configurations for an I/O server but when i try to pilot the plc, it don't responding. So i assigned to my plc an invalid adress. Nothing changed!
if i use ni opc server for comunicate with the plc, i have the message error "device responded wtih exception 1".
Can someone help me?

Hi ndong,
I attach a project that I've been running on XD26 + XN05 and LabVIEW DSC 8.6. I configured all the points I / O regardless of whether they are occupied by the PLC. You can monitor the variables throw Distribuited System Manager.
The trick here was the modbus addressing of XN05. the help says that the address of J1ETH point is 12, but the modbus addressing begins on 400001, so 400001 + 12 = 400013
I hope this help you

I can't use epics server with DSC module

Hello,i am new to labview,and i'm using labview2009 with .I tried to add an epics server,and add some variables to the PV list ,but it keeps telling me that i can't because the data type is not supported .I read the help document,found that i am using the right type and i tried all data types but none would work.
So i am really confused and does any one has the same problem?
I am using the chinese version of labview 2009.

You
should be able to change the PV name in the Configure EPICS Server I/O
Server dialog box by just left clicking on the PV name one time. The cursor should then appear next to the name, and you can just use the keyboard to edit the name

LabVIEW 8.6.1 DSC Module and SQL Server Agent

I had the following system constellation:
- LabVIEW Professional Dev System 8.6.1 installed (complete)
- SQL Server 2005 Express
Since Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 is no longer distributed, I had to install SQL Server 2008 Express on my system, too.
Everything is working fine, but after installing the 2008 Express version the SQL Server Agent appears in the '2008 instance!
This is quite good, but normaly the Express editions doesn't contain the Agent...?!
Since LV8.5 (?) the DSC module uses Microsoft SQL Server Express, right? (--> This is very good, but the documentation of the DSC module is more than bad.!!)
Is there any context between SQL 2008 Express <--> LV DSC??

Hi _avr_,
There's no documentation about LV DSC
supporting SQL Express 2008 because it's not supported. It may work if
you were to detach the database and reattach it, but it's something we
have not tested.
You are writing, that SQL Server 2005 Express is no longer distributed, however this is a Software which is a part of Installation Pack of a DSC Module. So if you have the DVD for LabVIEW with DSC Module you could install it without any problem. For DSC Module 8.6 we included the SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 on the DVD.
I do not really now why in your case the Agent is appering. You have right, the SQL Server 2008 Express does not contain any Agent.I do not have any explenation for it.
NI supports only DSC with SQL Server 2005 Express. The DSC Module 2009 is also working with SQL Server 2005 Express SP1. For Windows 7 SQL 2005 SP3 is recomended.
I would suggest you to deinstall the SQL Server 2008 Express.
Best regards,

Rapid disk use with DSC data logging

I recently installed Labview 8.2.1 with DSC module. I have tried a few shared variable projects with data logging and now I find my hard drive space is being consumed very rapidly. The variable manager indicates that only a few shared variables are left from my projects. They would produce very little data in the Citadel database. Certainly not enough to consume 100 meg + of disk per day. I am obviously missing something that would turn off some hidden logging process. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the input. I did have another look at historical data and there are not large traces. I used the Variable manager to stop all processes and I stopped the shared variable engine. The leak continues. The only way I can stop it is to use the Windows Task Manager to shut down the Citadel5 process. I have searched the computer and cannot find any large database files that would account for the disk shrink. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the DSC module. No success.
If I knew where the data was located I might be able to determine the source. The National Instruments directory is not growing even though all the processes had their database pointed to a directory inside the NI directory!

Programming batch modify properties of shared variables DSC Module

DSC module to establish a large number of shared variables, you need to modify the property values programmed variables, rather than setting property values when creating variables.
DSC module to build tens of thousands of shared variables, alarm limit properties of these variables need to be set after the software is released by the customers themselves, rather than set when you create the variable.
So many variables, how programming in the software interface can be set variable attributes?

App Builder generates Error 1 when I create installer

When I compile my project without creating the installer, it runs fine. However, when I check the box "create installer" (with or without the Advanced /LV Runtime Engine box checked), the build fails, and I get an Error 1 - ..Input Parameter is invalid. See attached scrren snapshots.

Bill, NI Tech support suggested I save my project in LV60 format, recompile, and see if the error still occurs. I did this. However, I could not export the .bld file from LV61 to 60, so I had to re-create it. No error occurred when I compiled this (with installer) in LV60. I then loaded this project back into LV61 and compiled it - also, no error! So I have no idea what caused this. However, I did ask NI for a wish list item - to add more error info in App Builder, so that one knows what input parameter or VI caused the problem. (With 300 Vis is a project, it is a daunting task to find the probelm otherwise).

Response time between LabVIEW w/DSC module and RSLinx OPC server hosting FlexLogix PLC tags too long

We are experiencing communication response time delays between LabVIEW with DSC module and RsLinx OPC Server hosting all FlexLogix PLC tags (around 500-600 tags).
The nominal response time for the system watchdog is < 500ms, but we occasionally have spikes of up to 1.5 seconds once every few days even when the system is idling.
Changing more than six PLC connected shared variables at the same time from LabVIEW also causes the watchdog response times to spike above 500ms.
Our watchdog is programmed so that LabVIEW toggles the watchdog bit to 1 as soon the shared variable event detects that the PLC has toggled it to 0. The PLC, however, waits 300 ms until it toggles it.
Our system:
Windows XP SP3
LabVIEW 9 F3
RSLinx Opc Server v2.54
Allen Bradley FlexLogix PLC

What is your update rate set for in the RSLink OPC server?
You aren't toggling the same flag from both ends are you?

Is it possible to connect labview with opc server without using NI dsc Module ?

Hellow sir,
I want to get data over labview using OPC server and i am not using any dsc module vi (Alams, print, GUI, security).I am using share variable to get data from OPC server to labview. Now i want to deploy that application to third party computer. (where there is no NI software is installed)
i am using labview 8.6 and 2009.
Many ? like....
1) what is the procedure to install that application in third party computer.
2) Do i need to use my dsc run time licence..?
waiting for your valuable feed back.
Thank you.

Hi, When you connect to NI OPC Server by creating New I/O Server > OPC Client. You will see all registered OPC Servers running on local machine or remote machine. I used KepServerEx from Kepware and LSIS OPC Server from LG with no problems. Just make sure that the OPC server is running.
Hope it helps
