Determine if LabVIEW RTE Installed

We're looking at creating a third party installer for our application, which can exist as both 32-bit and 64-bit LabVIEW executables for Windows. My problem is I'm not sure how to check for the appropriate LabVIEW runtime.
It seems if I peer into the registry under HDLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW Run-Time\ I can see a list of RTE version numbers. Are these supposed to reflect what's installed on the system? If so how would I go about distinguishing the different architectures (32- vs 64-bit)?

I don't have an answer, but if you have a virtual machine you could install a couple of the run time engine and see if you could figure it out yourself.
When I've created installers using Inno Setup I still use the NI generated installers for actual program installation.  I just use Inno Setup for everything else.

  • LabVIEW RTE 8.2

    Yesterday I installed LabVIEW RTE 8.2 in a PC to make some tests of the new functionalities. Now I want to uninstall it from the computer, which already has LV RTE 7.1, and I can not find it in "Control Panel">>"Add/Remove Programs">> "National Instruments Software", could anybody tell me how can I clean my PC from 8.2
    Thanks,
    Iñaki

    Couple questions for you:
    Does it show up as LabVIEW Run-Time under Add/Remove Programs, like Elsa's screenshot?
    Did you install any other National Instruments Software that might use RTE 8.2?  If you've installed any other NI software with it, it will be hidden in National Instrument Software - and will uninstall with the program that it was installed with.
    It wouldn't hurt to have RTE 8.2 on there - did it break any of your programs?
    We could uninstall it manually (or atleast remove references to it), but let's make sure there are no dependencies before we go that route.

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Have the first two been tried?
    How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?

  • Difference between LabVIEW RTE and TS LabVIEW RTE

    Ok, this may be an easy one but still I would to have it clear. What is the difference between using LabVIEW RTE and TS LabVIEW Runtime Server to run LabVIEW modules/steps in PC's with TestStand Deployment licences???
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    The TestStand LabVIEW Adapter can run VIs
    using any of the following LabVIEW environments, or servers: the LabVIEW
    development system, the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, or a LabVIEW executable built
    with an ActiveX server enabled. The Teststand LabVIEW run-time server
    (TestStandLVRTS) is a version of the third option written way back at a time before the LabVIEW run-time engine is what it is now.
    The only reason you would possibly want to use the TestStandLVRTS is when you
    have VIs written with versions of LabVIEW older
    than 6.1.
    Have a great day,

  • Profibus labview 2009 install

    I currently have a problem installing the visa drivers for labview that come with the DF profi 2, it tells me I need a Labview version greater than 7.1 -even though I have labview 2009 install. I could install the DF profi 2 in windows using the supplied ini... and labview MAX is picking it up. I can even run some of my older profibus slave programs by including the .bin file with my VI. The thing is I want to now try out the 'master' examples but so far have had no luck.

    Dear WireJunky2,
    the problem could be that, the necessary registry of LabVIEW "CurrentVersion" has been deleted by unisntallation of an old LabVIEW version.
    Please check if the following necessary entries exist:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW\CurrentVersion]
    "VersionString"="9.0"
    "Version"="9.0"
    "Path"="C:\\Programme\\National Instruments\\LabVIEW 2009\\"

  • Using LabVIEW RTE vs. LabVIEW ActiveX Automation Server (TestStand LVRTS) for a TestStand Deployment and experience​ing Unabel to Launch LabVIEW.Ap​plication ActiveX Automation Server Error 18001

    I am developing in TestStand 4.2.1 and LabVIEW 2009, I have accomplished the following:
    1. Deployment package is built and deployed on PC
    2. PC has activated TestStand Deployment License
    3. LabVIEW 2009 RTE was selected as the adapter for the sequence and thus I believe the deployed testexec.ini contains this.
    I  am experiencing the following error: "see attachment".
    Is the LabVIEW RTE the right selection?
    Is there something I may have missed in building the deployment?
    Do I need to register the ActiveX server.
    THere seems to be conflicing solutions based on Version of TestStand and LabVIEW!!

    Howdy mobiux,
    Please consider KnowledgeBase 4V58058Z: -18001 Errors in TestStand. If you're using Vista or Windows 7, then this may apply as well. You might also consider ensuring you have the proper LV version active in the TS Adapter Options.

  • Setting Search Directory with LabVIEW RTE

    Hi,
    I've LabVIEW 8.0.1 run time engine installed on target computer and would like to run LabVIEW executable on target computer.  I also have required low level support VIs for developed VIs. 
    Question is: how do I set the search directory for low level VIs with LabVIEW run time engine installed on the system.
    Suggestions/comments are appreciated.  Thank you.

    If your hierarchy is the same as was in the IDE, then there won't be a need to search for the VIs. If the VIs are not found where they are expected to be, then LV (including the RTE) starts to search for them first in the folder where the VI\application is and then in the folders in its list. To change the list, you need to place the viSearchPath key in your application's INI file. You can copy this key from the labview.ini file and then modify the paths listed in it.
    Try to take over the world!

  • CVI application asks for Labview RTE

    Hello,
    I have installed an application made with CVI 2010 several times on different computers without any problem but now on 1 computer I get the following error when I try to start the application:

    Problème DTI.doc ‏152 KB

    Hi again
    Of course, the installation of an autonomous application should not (and usually do not) require any other component than the RTE of CVI and the drivers used by the applciation (if you call an acquisition board for instance in the program). 
    Should you want to proceed to a clean deinstallation procedure on the computer causing trouble, you can download MSI Blast from the following link :
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/i-am-looking-for-MSI-Blast-a-utility-to-remove-NI-DAQ-driv...
    Of course, you should use this program with caution.
    Removing every acquisition board from the computer before running it is also a good idea.
    After that you should install all the programming software you want to use, install the drivers and then reconnect the boards.
    An other way to solve the problem would be to make sure that your installer is not requiering useless components.
    To repair the installer in this case, you can use the following documents (the procedure is written for LabVIEW, but it should be the same under CVI).

  • Install two third party exe's with labview 8 install file

    I am trying to install two thrid party drivers onto a deployment machine. I am using labview 8.0 and am deploying the application on a XP machine. The program was developed on a XP machine so that is not an issue.  I have created a batch file that works fine when run after the install by itself, but when i include it in the installer properties--advanced--launch exe after install it runs the batch file but doesn't install the drivers.  I tried using a dummy batch file that waits then calls the batch file containing the paths for the drivers to install but that didn't work either.  Urgent help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can Labview be installed on a portable harddrive

    I would like to be able to take my work home with me and would like to know if I can install my labview development software on my portable hard drive so that I can plug in (USB) and work where ever I want.

    Considering LabVIEW has to be activated, probably not... you would need to have a licensed version for home and work.  Call up NI, explain your licensing situation.  They may tolerate an installed version at home like other companies do.  I know Mathsoft does for MathCAD for instance.  They require you to get special license files that they call "home seats."

  • Application built in LabVIEW 2011 installed successfully but not running on windows 8.

    Hello all,
          We have been using labview 2011 to develop datalogging applications. We have built the installer package for one of the applications by choosing the option 'windows XP or later' in 'Advanced' category. The installed application works fine in Windows 7 and earlier versions. But it doesn't seem to work in windows 8. When we try to run the application, the application doesn't load itself or show up but runs in the background consuming 75% of memory (as seen in the task manager).
         Then we tried rebuilding the package by selecting 'windows 7 or later' option from advanced category. The problem persists. Running the application in compatibility mode of windows 8 did not help.
          Please let us know how to fix this problem.
    Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
    I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

    What is "AMD only"? Do you have the exact processor model?
    LabVIEW 2011 has problems with some AMD processors, and some of the issues have been fixed in 2011 SP1 f1. I don't know if built application had similar problems.

    Nice Error ; )
    For me it looks like a TestStand Error - Did you tried what's written : To find all the steps who call "tkwca200 basic setting.vi" and select load dynamically into the TestStand Step option.
    Another idea is to have only one step who call this VI and see if it work..and then add another one, and see what happen.
    Hope it will help

    Hi
    Jonathan,
    We found a workaround moving the folders around and that seems to fix the problem. I talked to a support engineer on the phone yesterday and he confirmed that this was a bug in the TS-LV adapter.
    This is the procedure we are following to fix the problem:
    Create a new VI in C:\MyProject\Projects\Component\Everything.vi
    Add all the VI's within Component as sub-VI's to "Everything.vi"
    Close LabVIEW
    Move the whole directory of C:\MyProject\Projects\Component to C:\Component
    Open Everything.vi.  Help find the VI's it is having a hard time finding.
    Close LabVIEW
    Change C:\Component\Product\Common to C:\Component\Product\xxommon
    Open Everything.vi.  it should automatically find everything without asking you for help
    Close LabVIEW
    Change C:\Component\Product\xxxommon to C:\Component\Product\Common
    Open Everything.vi.  it should automatically find everything without asking you for help
    Close LabVIEW
    Move Component back under MyProject directory structure
    Open Everything.vi.  Help find the VI's it is having a hard time finding.
    Close LabVIEW
    Cross your fingers and see if it works this time.
