DAQmx Installation language through spec file

I am facing an issue with an automated installer for NI-Device Driver Distribution . I have used a spec file and am installing in quite mode(/q). I have configured the spec file to install only NI-DAQ, NI-VISA, NI-488 and their dependent components. Default installation configuration("No change") will be retained for the remaining items. The issue is whenever I use the automated installer, the DAQmx and system configuration gets installed in German and garbled text, though all of my OS language settings has always been in English! I am not able to find any language related settings in the "spec file" either. Weird thing though is the remaining items are installed in proper English.
NOTE : the issue should be with the spec file since manual installation and installation through command prompt, both installs the Device driver components in English.
Attached - Screen shot of the installed components through automated installer and the appropriate spec file used.
I would really like to know what causes this issue!!!!

For all who are curious,
After testing and analyzing the Spec File, we believe the issue comes from having all installers set to "Local". We believe this is forcing each installer to include language support for every language, and so when LabVIEW is launched it seems to be loading the DAQmx palette in whatever language support was installed last.
For example, when we removed the German language support from the spec file, then the DAQmx palette in LabVIEW would be in a different language.
We tried making our own Spec File, and left each Language support blank (without a "Local" tag) to run default behavior of the installer and this worked on our side.

  • Silent Installs using spec files

    I want to deploy LV 8.2, CVI, Signal Express, and the toolkits.  Can't use AD Group Policies because the NI MSI files are not true MSI files.
    I have worked out a batch file to silently install however in the spec files I put in the userinfo section the following:
    [UserInfo]
    Name=John Doe
    Company=ACME Inc..
    SerialNo=99999999
    Since I have to deploy this to several people as well as serveral debug machines how do I handle the different user information?  On something like a silent install of MS Office you can leave this information blank and it will prompt you for the registration on the first run.  Is there something similar in LV or do I have to create spec files for every user?

    Here is the batch file for installing LV 8.2, CVI, Toolkits, and Drivers (ignore the hyperlink format).  Notice that some of these don't use spec files as command line parameters and some do.  There are three different sets of command line switches for these items as well.  Some of the toolkits just don't install silently.  This one developers suite uses 4 different methods of installation.
    I really don't think that an easy install is to much to ask for a program that costs $4000 per seat and $1000 per year.
    (BTW, in this version of the bat file I used /passive so I can see what is causing some issues, normally it would be /quiet)

  • I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly

    Hello i've been really exited to donload photoshop and so i decided to try the free version i downloaded creative cloud and went into th eapps and click on photoshop try it free i waited a few 30 mins and it stopped and told me this
    installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly.
    and then i was like whatttt?!?!?!?!?
    so I decided to come here and ask why this is happening please answer ASAP I really need photoshop for important stuff!!!

    Try restarting your computer, then try again. Awhile back, some of the apps which I think included photoshop require the microsoft runtime to be updated. That runtime requires a restart to finish installing. But since it is a piggyback program, the error code telling you do so is hidden in the log file.
    If it still does not install let us know.

  • Read different language from the file and upload data

    Hi Expert,
    I am loading customer master data through BDC( trx-XD01) by reading a file from PC. The file contains customer data in different language like English, Chinese, and Japanese etc. However, when creating customer master data, only those data in English are able to create, as I am in English log on. The data in other language is showing garbage value. However, when I am logging in with that language (say Chinese) this time I am able to create customer for Chinese data but not for other.
    Can someone one help me to solve this problem – irrespective of language in the file and SAP log on, I should able create customer through my program.

  • Language Characters in File Name

    Hi All,
    Need your help to solve a problem which I face in my current interfac. I am currently working on SFTP to File scenario where we use Advantco SFTP Adapter. The problem is SFTP sender adapter doesn't process the files which have Language characters in the File Name. No errors are thrown and no processing of the file happens in Message Monitoring. One probable option which I already tried was to use the text encoding but that works on the content and not the file name. Just wanted to check if any body can help in suggesting some solution. Also, even for content is there a need to change the encoding for Language characters or they should be left as Binary Type. PI  is SAP PI 7.11.
    How does the standard SAP PI File Adapter handle scenario with File Name having language characters. Is it correctly processed or how do we handle that for correct processing, may be the same can be applied for SFTP adapter.
    Best Regards,
    Pratik

    Hi Pratik,
    Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the
    APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware.       
    Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly        
    interpret the character set it receives from the operating       
    system.                                                          
    This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as
    well as the "LANG" environment variable.                         
    Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as    
    ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like  
    to process. This system property can be configured by appending  
    "-Dfile.encoding=adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1. For additional details  
    on 'How to Work with Character Encodings in PI' the following    
    guide can also be followed:

  • No installation language available for CR 2011

    Hi there, I am working in the Sales Controlling unit of a technical advisory company. We make use of Crystal Reports 2011 on a local installation. One of my collegaues recently got a new laptop and intended to install CR again. But he could not complete the installation. When it comes to select the installation language the pick list is blank. His office is in Oslo and I copied the installation folder/files to his desktop in order to solve performance issues. Local admin rights has been assigned. Does anyone the community have a solution? Similar problems known?

    Hi Don, thanks for your quick response. Yes, I see a lot of subfolders for the languages, I recently checked it. Before I posted my problem to the SAP Community Network I screened the web for any solutions. I observed a similar problem where someone simply shortened the path of the installation folder…. See that link: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3474126 Can this problem be related to the local/regional settings of my colleagues computer? I mean his office is in Oslo and all his settings refer to Norwegian…. Thanks Don Br robert

  • How do I skip footer records in Data file through control file of sql*loade

    hi,
    I am using sql*loader to load data from data file and i have written control file for it. How do i skip last '5' records of data file or the footer records to be skiped to read.
    For first '5' records to be skiped we can use "skip" to achieve it but how do i acheive for last '5' records.
    2)
    Can I mention two data files in one control file if so what is the syntax(like we give INFILE Where we mention the path of data file can i mention two data file in same control file)
    3)
    If i have datafile with variable length (ie 1st record with 200 charcter, 2nd with 150 character and 3rd with 180 character) then how do i load data into table, i mean what will be the syntax for it in control file.
    4)if i want to insert sysdate into table through control file how do i do it.
    5) If i have variable length records in data file and i have first name then white space between then and then last name, how do i insert this value which includes first name and last name into single column of the table.( i mean how do you handle the white space in between first name and last name in data file)
    Thanks in advance

    You should read the documentation about SQL*Loader.

  • How to create custom attributes & object classes through ldif files in OID

    Hi,
    I have to create 4 attributes and one object class(custom) in OID. I want to creae these attributes and object class through LDIF file.
    I tried creating an attribute through this command
    ldapadd -p 389 -h localhost -D cn=orcladmin -w password -f D:/newattr.ldif
    this ldif file contains inf. for creating a new attributes:
    dn: cn=subschemasubentry
    changetype: add
    add: attributetypes
    attributetypes: ( 1.2.3.4.5.6.10 NAME "xsUserType_new" DESC "User Type Definition" EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
    SYNTAX "1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15" )
    I am getting error: Object class violation
    Failed to find add in mandatory or optional attribute list.
    Please help to find where I am going wrong...
    Thanks.

    Hi Ajay,
    Thank you for the help. Now i am able to create both attributes and object classes in OID through Ldif files.
    I was getting constraint violation error because (I think) I was not giving proper naming convection for attributes and object classes. For OID, there are certain Ldap naming conventions. They are as follows:
    # X below is the enterprise number assigned by IANA
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.1 - assign to SNMP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2 - assign to LDAP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.1 - assign to LDAP syntaxes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.2 - assign to LDAP matchingrules
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.3 - assign to LDAP attributes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.4 - assign to LDAP objectclasses
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.5 - assign to LDAP supported features
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.9 - assign to LDAP protocol mechanisms
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.10 - assign to LDAP controls
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.11 - assign to LDAP extended operations
    By using these conventions for attributes and object class, I did got any error and they were created in OID.
    Thanks a zillion.

  • How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??

    Hello everyone
    How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??
    I am guessing one tedious way to do it would be to pass all the file names as command line arguments but I"m sure there exist a much easier and faster way to do it.
    Thanks a lot

    You need to pass only the directory name as parameter and then retrieve the files(recursively throug subdirs or not, however you wish) of that directory.
    There were at least 2 threads yesterday on how to retrieve files from directory, and there are many others in the archive so I leave the search part to you ;)

    1) Wrong format, you wont get much support loading OLAP cubes in here I think.
    2) Has your CSV file been anywhere near excel by chance the conversion of 20071113121100 to 2.00711E+13 looks very much like what I see when Excel has an invalid number mask / precision specified for a cell.

  • "save as" or modify feature, to see new/modified file through android file managers?

    adobe reader does not have the functionality i want, and i'm checking to see if anyone knows if "Adobe CreatePDF" has it. i'm on a motorola xoom w/ ice (4.1.1)
    with a file manager, i created a directory "Files" on the sdcard0 (along with all the other directories like 'Alarms', 'Android, 'DCIM', 'Download', etc.).  then i connect device to my pc w/ usb, i can copy .pdf files to this directory, open w/ reader and add comments, etc.  i can share/e-mail the modified .pdf's from within adobe.  when i look on the tablet in 'Files', i see the file size and date modified has changed.  but when i connect tablet back to a PC and look in 'Files' - i see only the original file size and date modified, and copying the files to a PC gets the original files w/ no comments. so i connected tablet to a difference PC than the one i used to copy the files on there (so i know it's not cached on the PC) - and still can only copy/see the original files. 
    does "Adobe CreatePDF" have a "save as" feature, or allow you to create files on the local device that you can then see through a file manager (as opposed to just e-mailing/sharing it from the app)?  that way we can load them back to a pc through usb.
