Determining install location

Is there a simple way to determine the install location of LabView? I am trying to automate the installation of our drivers unsing InstallShield. It seems there is a registry location, but I am concerned that the registry location changes from version to version.
In previous versions, I could query the "Path" value from "HKLM\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW\CurrentVersion", however, this key no longer exists on my machine.
Is there another way?
Mike Bower

Hi Mike,
I just checked on my system with LabVIEW 7.1 installed, and the mentioned registry key exists and the 'path' is set correctly.
What version of LabVIEW are you using? So, is just the 'path' entry missing or the entire key? Did you start/launch LabVIEW yet? Maybe the keys are created on first launch and not during the installation...
There is one more thing to be aware of: If I remember right, if you have multiple versions of LabVIEW installed, the key will only reference the version that was installed (launched?) last, which is not necessarily the highest version on the system.

  • How to determine the location of Oracle Client

    Hi folks,
    how can I determine the location on a given machine where the Oracle Client was installed ?
    My java-application, which has used the 9i-Client until now, has to run with a 10g-client in future. The problem is: for a transition period, it has to use both clients optionally. So when the application starts running it doesn't know which client is installed on the machine.
    There are never installed both clients, so before starting the jvm I have to decide which one has to be used, since I have to set the right classpath for accessing the jdbc14.jar.
    Are there any settings (e.g. ORACLE_HOME or something like that) which are used in the same way in both clients (and on different platforms) ?
    Thanks
    Jens

    Hi Amit,
    If you are not able to check the note 118823 or you can't able to find the solution. Just start client copy in test mode, there you can get the size of the client then you can cancel the client copy(which is in test mode).
    Hope it will resolve your doubt.
    Thanks

  • Software Inventory - Unknown Install Location

    Hello,
    Running the SCCM Asset Intelligence report 'Installed Software on a specific computer (Report 02E)' shows a number of software titles with 'Unknown' in the 'Installed Location' column.
    I have asked the user of a particular device to check a sample of such software titles to determine if they are actually installed. They say they do NOT appear to be. This is based on searching for executable files in the C: directory.
    Choosing one example of the software that has an unknown 'Installed Location',  (Visio Viewer 2010) I ran the SCCM report "Software registered in Add Remove Programs on a specific computer" for the chosen device. This report had
    'Visio Viewer 2010' on it.
    I then ran the report 'Products on a specific computer' for the chosen device and this did NOT have 'Visio Viewer 2010' on it.
    My questions are:
    Why are some software titles reporting as having 'Unknown' in the 'Installed Location' column?
    Are such software titles actually installed on the device or NOT? The results of the reports I have run provide conflicting views of whether the software is or is not installed on the device.
    If the software is actually installed on the device, why is nothing being returned in the 'Installed Location' field?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    AI reports depends hardware inventory classes. I hope you have enable "SMS_InstalledSoftware" class in AI.

  • How to determine installed version of EMET via script?

    Hi all,
    I was not able to find a easy way to determine installed verison of EMET via script. If you can guide me in the right direction, this would help a lot.
    Many thanks
    Sam

    This is probably not the right forum for scripting questions and you didn't specify which script you (want to) use... Below you can find some examples...
    If you use VBscript you could use WMI and query the class Win32_Product:
    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Product where Name like '%EMET%'")
    For Each objSoftware in colSoftware
    Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objSoftware.Name
    Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objSoftware.Version
    Next
    This method is not advisable because the class isn't optimized for queries and therefore the query takes a long time!
    You can also use the Windows Installer object:
    Option Explicit
    ' Connect to Windows Installer object
    Dim installer
    Set installer = Wscript.CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
    Dim product, products
    Set products = installer.Products
    For Each product In products
    if instr(1,installer.ProductInfo(product, "InstalledProductName"), "EMET", vbTextCompare) > 0 AND instr(1,installer.ProductInfo(product, "Publisher"), "Microsoft", vbTextCompare) > 0 then
    Wscript.Echo installer.ProductInfo(product, "InstalledProductName")
    Wscript.Echo installer.ProductInfo(product, "VersionString")
    End If
    Next
    Set products = Nothing
    Set installer = Nothing
    Wscript.Quit 0
    This method enumerates all the products but be aware that you should also check the installstate because the installstate of a product also can be advertised.
    You can also use powershell to enumerate the uninstall registry keys but you have take into account that the results may be different on a 64-bit Windows and the bitness of the powershell proces:
    gci "hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall" | foreach { gp $_.PSPath } | select DisplayVersion,DisplayName | where { $_.DisplayName -match "^EMET*" }
    You can also install and use the
    Windows Installer PowerShell Module and use this command:
    get-msiproductinfo | where { $_.Name -like '*EMET*' } | select ProductName,ProductVersion  | format-list
    On the internet you can find a lot of information about your question. For instance I found these pages:

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
    charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • Message impossible to determine the location .Please you can help?

    suddenly in my iPad wifi, shows the message impossible to determine the location . please you can help! Grazie ciao

    Wifi-only iPads rely on getting thier position from the router that they are connected to being in Apple's database. If you used to be able to get your location on the iPad then are you now using a new router ?

  • My location service is not working from the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?

    From the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) while using ios5.1 .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?.Which means that is there is any problem in my ipad ? currently running on IOS 6.

    Your location is determined from a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
    Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
    If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

  • Can anyone tell me why maps cannot determine my location over wifi?

    can anyone tell me why maps cannot determine my location over wifi?

    If you only have the wifi only version iPad then the location is derived from the router that you are connected to - if it's not in the database that Apple use then your location can't be determined. Only the 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip. If you have another wifi-only iOS device that does get a location then you could try this https://discussions.apple.com/message/15446656#15446656

  • Apps Install Location Doesnt do anything?

    I had CS6 installed on my machine in the C drive (125GB SSD) This was done with the very first cloud installer.
    I uninstalled it as I have a new SSD that I want my apps to be installed on. I just want my OS on the C drive.
    I donwload the cloud manager software.
    Go to the preferences menu and find the following options:
    Apps: Install Location
    Files: Folder location
    Before I insatll any apps, I set both of these to point to my new SSD as that is the location I want to install apps in and files.
    I then click on Photoshop CC to install.
    I always installs on my C drive.
    Why? What is the point of a preference to install in a different location if it doesnt do anything?
    Has anyone managed to install Photoshop in any other drive than the C drive? If so How?
    You cant even choose where you want to install the Creative Clud app?

    Changing product installation location in CC App
    Launch CC app.
    Click on the Setting in the upper-right corner.
    Click Preferences-> App
    Click on Change and then navigate to your desired installation location and select the folder.
    Start the Install process.
    When you change it in preferences it get stored, Please confirm Preferences-App is showing the location you specified or not.
    Try re-launching your CC app again after changing the preferences.
    Regards,
    Ashutosh

    Do you have location services turned on? See Settings > Privacy > Location Services
    In any event Maps can be used to obtain directions by supplying the start and end locations after touching "Directions" in the upper left corner.

  • Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location

    Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location.
    Any ideas why?

    Again, why will the Mountain Lion installer not allow me to select my Lion partition as the location for the install?
    Good question. That's the main way it's supposed to be installed. You shouldn't even need to choose a partition. You purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it downloads to the Applications folder and automatically begins the installation on the drive where Lion or Snow Leopard resides as soon as the download is complete.
