Error 1003 occurred at ABAPI Dist Chg and Save VIs.vi

I used to be able to build executable file for my application. However when I upgrade to LV8 and try to build executable file, I got the following message.
Error 1003 occurred at ABAPI Dist Chg and Save VIs.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW:  The VI is not executable.
The vi is perfectly executable in LV enviroment.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

DGU,
Unfortunately this is a known bug in LabVIEW 8.0.1. Our R&D department is well aware of the issue and is currently working on the problem. In the mean time there are some possible work arounds
Check the "Enable debugging"option in the "Advanced Category" of the application executable properties.
Disable the "Remove Panel" option for all SubVIs containing Shared Variables in the build
Try Unchecking the "Disconnect type definitions and remove unused polymorphic VI instances" options also in the Advanced category of the executable properties as shown in the attached figure.
Move shared variables to the top level VIs and pass the data through the SubVI connector
Downgrade to LabVIEW 8.0.
I apologize for the problem. Please let us know if these suggestions help out. Thanks!

  • Error 7 occurred at ABAPI Dist Report Read Link Info Error.vi - [.....] - RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller

    Hi all,
    I am on a field campaign with my Labview-controlled instrument. I wanted to make a small change to the code and build it again for uploading to a cFP-2020 Fieldpoint but the application builder stopped with the following error message:
    Error 7 occurred at ABAPI Dist Report Read Link Info Error.vi -> ABAPI Dist Cmp Settings to Disk Hier.vi -> ABAPI Get Settings From File2.vi -> ABAPI Get Settings From File.vi -> RTBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> RTBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
    This is another computer than the one I used in the lab previously so might have forgotten to install something. I just copied the whole application folder with project file and subfolders
    to the Laptop I am using now. Labview version should be the same though (8.20).
    Any suggestions?
    Olaf

    Hello Olaf,
    This error is usually found when a subVI or a support file (DLL, custom control, etc)
    isn't able to be found by the application builder.  Possible reasons
    for this could include subVIs no longer located in their original
    paths and in need to be relinked, a DLL that isn't included in the build,
    and many other possibilities.
    You wrote that you copied the project from another PC, so it is very possible that some file went missing. Are all VIs in your project executable?
    You could try to mass compile all the VIs in your project and see if that helps.

    Hey elnibjo;
    This error seems to be the result of the application builder not being able to find the rc file I suggest you follow the steps listed in the following KB:
    Error Creating Source Distributions Involving rc Files
    (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/833BFD5E9CA0224886257584004DAA4C)
    Alternatively you can change the path information in the CLFN to contain only the DLL name.
    Let me know if this works
    Good luck with your applibation!

  • Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi- Dist Build LLB Image.vi- Dist Build App Image.vi- Build Application.vi

  • Error 1003 occurred at Invoke Node

    Good morning.
    I work with LW8.5 and created with the following architecture:
    There is main.vi on the links at the user's calls and runs the other VI.
    That is, not directly, these are not included in the VI block diagram main.vi.
    In the development of a happening in normal mode, all dynamically called VI,
    But once I make EXE, when you try to call the dynamic VI error 1003.
    Error 1003 occurred at Invoke Node in Main.vi
    Possible reason (s):
    LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Open the VI in LabVIEW using File>> Open and verify that it is runnable.
    VI Path: C: \ Shaikov \ Labwiev \ builds \ NSIAES \ Initialsettings \ Initialsettings.vi
    Show you how to act?
    Thank you.

    Hello margasan.
    In my Projects I use to pass more dynamic and VI classes.
    In the attached file - an example of my project:
    In the main folder is a folder UpperClass, it is the parent class and child classes and HeirClass.lvclass Heir2Class.lvclass are organized into folders respectively Plugin1 and Plugin2, and these Classes inherit from the parent one and the same WI - UpperClassTest.vi. Plus, this Plugin1 has two, independent from the others, but related classes. A block diagram for an object placed Core.vi UpperClass.
    So, here, if you take EXE, making llb files and run them from start VI for each of the Plugin, then everything works OK.
    But as soon as I on the block diagram of a Plugin will put any object UpperClass, or one of its nasalednikov, there arises a familiar ERROR 1003. Prompt, plc, margasan I get rid of it in this case?

  • App. builder Error 1003 occurred at ..... internal.llb

    Hi,
    I have an RT application that uses three FPGA PXI-7831R. The application was created with LabVIEW 7.0. We upgraded to 7.1, then to 7.1.1. We followed the instructions for 7.1.1, mass compile LabVIEW and mass compile our own code.
    For the FPGA I had to create projects. I built the loads for each of them, updated the Open FPGA References in the RT code and then I was easily able to build an EXE with application builder. However, that load contained errors, so I had to debug it. I changes aliases in the FPGA projects, recompiled the 3 FPGA loads and refreshed their references in the RT code. I was able to debug the code and solve all my problems. That load would run with LabVIEW environment, downloaded to the RT target.
    However, with application builder, when I compile that new load, I get: Error 1003 occurred at … internal.llb… The VI is not executable. I verified the VIs and their arrows are not broken. I already had "BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs=False" in LabVIEW.ini. I opened my RT top level VI and performed ctrl-shift-run and LabVIEW becomes not-responding, taking 99% of the CPU, in that state for 90 minutes. I repeated that with a lower level VI containing FPGA Read/Write Control and got the same behavior, ctrl-shift-run makes LabVIEW to process I don't know what until I kill it. I could repeat that on 2 more PCs. However, it is ok if I do that with a VI not containing FPGA references.
    The VI stated to be non-executable contains call to FPGA Read/Write Control. I removed these calls to debug and I got the same Error 1003 on the next VI containing an FPGA Read/Write Control. Are there some known issue with application builder and accessing FPGA with LabVIEW RT 7.1.1?
    Thanks!

    Hi, AvernaFrca
    You shouldn't have any problems when creating an EXE in LabVIEW that calls the Open FPGA VI Reference or the Read/Write Control VI. There are a few KBs online that relate to that error number, but it seems that you have read them already, because the suggested fixes are to mass compile (or do Ctrl + Shift + R) and that doesn't seem to fix it for you.
    In your case, I would recommend you to make sure that your VIs are not corrupted. The easiest way will be to create another FPGA VI that you could call from a brand-new host VI. It can be something as simple as just do A + B. If that does work, then it might be a problem with your current VIs and it might be a good idea to recompile them, just to make sure. Hopefully that will take care of it. If the error is still present, then the problem might be the actual Read/Write Control VI, and we will have to fix or replace it with a new one.
    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any additional information.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred... Rant and a solution

    Warning. Much of this post is frankly a rant against a poorly written program and the so-called experts who offer up solutions here. If you are one of these experts and you have a thin-skin, don't read this post.
    If you just want a solution to the problem skip to the bottom of the post.
    INTRODUCTION
    Adobe, I want my money back! I rarely buy Adobe products and always wind up regretting it when I do. This product was no exception.
    I tried the trial version. Bought the product along with Photoshop Elements as part of a promotion.
    Produced a couple of videos with it, no problems. Then, inexplicably, it stopped working for me and I would get the infamous "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message while trying to start or open a project. This would happen almost immediately, as it was drawing its intial screen layout.
    MY FIRST BIG COMPLAINT... USELESS ERROR MESSAGE
    This has to be the most useless error message I've ever read. The few times I've had programs crash on me, the error message that results usually gives me enough clues to find and fix the root problem.
    ONWARD...
    Uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller, re-installed it.
    Deleted all old project files.
    Tried to re-start by clicking 'New Project' button.
    Prompts me for a location for the project. I accepted the default.
    Immediately gives me the "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message and shuts down when I press okay.
    MY SECOND BIG COMPLAINT... INCOMPLETE UNINSTALL
    I did observe that when I went to use the Organizer after the re-installs, the thumbnails of previous videos were still there. Clearly some cache wasn't removed during the uninstall.
    If a cache wasn't removed, perhaps other remnants of the the program were still lying about on my machine. If they were the problem, then no amount of uninstalling/ re-installing would solve the problem.
    CONTINUING...
    At this point, I came to the forums for help and my worst fears were confirmed. This error message is a common problem. The suggestions to solve it were all over the place. The sheer depth and width of this faultfinding indicated to me that this is a seriously buggy piece of software.
    With one or two exceptions it seems that nobody ever resolves this problem.
    MY THIRD COMPLAINT... WELL-MEANING BUT UNHELPFUL 'SOLUTIONS'
    These are some of the typical solutions I read on these forums:
    - Your computer is probably underpowered. Give us a list of all your specs.
    - Your computer doesn't have enough hard drive space. Give us a list of all your specs.
    - Your computer doesn't have enough RAM. Give us a list of all your specs.
    - Something on your computer has 'changed'. Give us a list of all your specs.
    - Your hard drive is dying. Back it up quick!
    - It's probably your anti-virus software. Turn it off.
    - Some of your drivers are probably out of date. Update them all. Give us a list of all your specs.
    - That's a different issue... start a new thread. (Lame...)
    Most of that advice is... well, lame. It's pretty obvious that these people are just winging it, i.e. throw everything up there and hope something works. Sorta like that tech guy on the support line who always ends up telling you to 're-install the program' because he really has no clue what the problem is and just wants you off the line.
    As someone who has used video editing programs for years, I'm here to tell you that the problem is rarely the computer specs. The specs listed by Adobe for this program aren't that onerous and my three-year-old Dell 1525 laptop with less than 20 megs of space on its 136 HD and 2 megs of RAM was able to produce videos with no problem.
    Most computers sold within the last three or four years are pretty robust and should have no problem with consumer level video editing.
    Sending people off on a quest to 'fix' their computer and research a lot of computer specs is a time-waster. That should be the LAST thing you recommend after first eliminating the program as a problem.
    ONLINE SUPPORT
    This is worthy of its own post, but I won't bore you here. Suffice it to say that Adobe tech support deserves some sort of industry recognition for its ineptitude.
    MY SOLUTION
    First, let me reinterate. The problem is probably the buggy program and not your computer, assuming your computer is relatively new and mid-range or better.
    In my case, the clue was in the fact that not all of the program is uninstalled when you try to do a uninstall / re-install. The program likely had some sort of corrupted cache that stopped the program and that remained after an uninstall.
    I unstalled it again, but after some research I came across this tool:
    Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
    and this reference:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/859/cpsid_85966.html
    The reference above applies to Photoshop, but the Organizer elements applies to Premiere unintalls as well.
    After applying these two solutions and then re-installing, my Premiere Elements is working once again.
    Had I followed the typical advice I would have spent days updating drivers, installing RAM, de-fragging and cleaning up my hard drive, listing specs to post here, etc. And none of it would have mattered a wit.
    The program is still buggy though and my original problem may re-occur, I admit. I will certainly never buy another version of this POS program again, but, in the meantime, I hope I can save someone here some time in looking for a fix for their own message.

    Your post count is 2 (as I write this) beginning July 17 - which indicates to me that you never asked for help in this forum (or you did so under another name)

  • Error 1003 occured at Open VI Reference

    This error occured when I want to used the LabView Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Example.
    It's impossible for me to execute the example "Generate Report from Template(Excel)"
    I suppose I have a problem with the Open VI Reference.vi function but I don't know where is that VI.
    Could you let me know where are the VIs listed in the Application Control Pallette.
    Do you know why I have this type of problem.
    Thanks
    Lucie

    The VIs located on the application control palette are primitives and are part of LabVIEW itself. Therefore you can not look at their diagrams because they don't have one.
    However the 1003 error means that you are trying to dynamically load a VI that is not executable. I would suggest turning highlight execution on and following the code to see what path is sent into the Open VI reference function.
    Once you have the VI that is failing to open go manually open it.
    Chances are that it is broken, so see why it is broken. If I remember correctly there is a linking issue in that example, so you can open the VI that is broken and hit ctrl-shift-Run Button, and that should relink it all and fix the issue.
    If not take a look at this

    builds fine, but I can't create an installer.

    Dependency Walker will show all of the DLLs NIMSIDistKit.dll is dependent on. There is a tree view in the top but the flat list at the bottom will probably be more helpful. It should show the following dlls (at least on a Windows 2000 system):
    ADVAPI32.DLL
    GDI32.DLL
    KERNEL32.DLL
    MSI.DLL
    NIMSIDISTKIT.DLL
    NTDLL.DLL
    OLE32.DLL
    RPCRT4.DLL
    USER32.DLL
    If one of these DLLs is missing it will have an error message displayed beside it. I think all of them are regular Windows DLLs so if you are missing one of them your computer might be having other problems. You could try to reinstall LabVIEW to see if it will install a copy of the dll, but you might have to reinstall Internet Explorer or some portion of the OS to get all
    of them.
    Probably the most important dll is the MSI.dll. If it is missing or too old it might be the problem. I have version 2.0 but I think version 1.1 of this DLL will also work. If you don't have the dll or the right version run \applibs\distkit\redist\InstMsiW.exe (if on Win NT/2000/XP) or InstMsi.exe (95/98/ME). This will install/update MSI (Microsoft Installer) on your machine.
    You can also press F9 to toggle showing just the filename and the whole path to the dlls. Besides NIMSIDistKit.dll all of them should be loading from your system folder. If not you may have multiple copies of that DLL and the correct one is not being found.
