Error -12 when building installer LV2012

When I try to build an installer from the project menu I immediatly get en error -12. (see attached)
This has happened on several different projects. I can make an .EXE, Zip file and distribution build but not installer. I read the "Why Does My Distribution Build Fail with Various Errors?" article suggested but I admit I don't understand the proceedure or if this pertains to my problem at all.
Thanks

Alina,
Thanks for the tip. I checked out that forum and that is the same problem. Now the question is the same as what he asked. How do I reinstall App Builder? Older versions had it as a seperate CD. 2012 comes on 1 DVD and there's nothing on the install menu that mentions App Builder. I'm guessing I'll just have to reinstall LV as a whole.
Thanks for all the help
Mark

Error -12 when building installer

OS: Win7
LabVIEW: 2012 SP1
I am having issues with the application builder while trying to build an installer.
The installler has the following "Aditional Installers" selected:
LabVIEW Runtime Engine
NU USI 2.0.1
NI DAQmx Core Runtime 9.8
NI DAQmx MAX Configuration 9.8
NI VISA Runtime
If I remove the "NI DAQmx Core Runtime 9.8" & "NI DAQmx MAX Configuration 9.8" then the installer builds without error. How can I get it to succesfully build with these selected?
I have upgrated the DAQmx from 9.5.5 to 9.8 and performed a mass compile but no luck.

It looks like your installer build is trying to pull the "SiriusXM Mad Max" distribution from an unusual temp location. If this distribution was hiding inside a 7zip file and has since been altered or deleted, that we certainly confuse the installer builder. Do you know if this distribution contained the DAQmx installers you are trying to build with?
Here are a few things you could try if this is the case.
1. If an installer build ever suceeded while pulling source from this temp location, the location may have been saved as known good source. To undo this saved information, you can delete the file at C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MDF\Bin\MDFInfo.xml
2. If C:\Users\bbanacki\AppData\Local\Temp\7ZipSfx.000\Mad Max Installer\ is a valid path on your machine, try moving or renaming this folder. This should cause the installer builder to prompt you for source media. This prompt window will allow you to configure which distributions you provide as source for the build (depending on the version of the installer builder tool installed, you may have to click "No" to the question "Do you have all of these installers?" to get to the configuration page).
3. Install the latest version of the installer build tool. A new one released with LV 2013, and it should be available to download either through NI Update Service or on the web somewhere
4. All else fails... post your full installer build log! LabVIEW generates this for us at %temp%\LVProjectName_InstallerName_build.log

Error -30, when building new installer

LabVIEW 2010 sp1, just upgraded and lost the ability to build installer. Error dialog:
LabVIEW 2010 sp1
Win 7 64bit
Thanks in advance.

For example, which version of LabVIEW did you upgrade from? Did you modify any of your code? Are you having problems building ANY installers or just a single application?
Original installed version: NI Developer Suite 2010 DS2
Code is unmodified
Application Builder Error occurs from any project.
Currently configured installers cannot be built either. When build configuration is viewed the additional installers section is empty.
I am currently working with an NI Applications Engineer to resolve the issue.
So far, article:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1B53A6FDFC20B8058625752400687F42?OpenDocument
has been suggested.
From my team of 6 the 3 that have upgraded have the same issue.
I will update the status once I try this fix.

Error during Extension Builder installation on Mac OS

I downloaded extension builder 2.1 trial version from adobe website: Extension_Builder_2_1_LS1_trial.dmg
When I try to install it, at the end of the installation process, during "validating packages" process it stops and shows me "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact software manufacturer...".
1. System: OS X v. 10.9 (mavericks)
2. I have Flash Builder 4.7 premium installed on my computer.
3. I have Photoshop CC installed on my computer.
What may be the cause of installation errors?
What do you suggest?
Is there any other version of Extension Builder than I could try to install?

This is not an Adobe error message. Please check your system to rule out any environmental issues such as insufficient hard disk space (2G or so needed after you copied the installer since it will need to unpack some installation files), pending system reboot, download file corrupted etc. then retry installation.

Error 1003 when building executable

Hi, I'm using Labview 2010 on Windows 7 and I'm getting an error when I try to build an executable:
Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in AB_Engine_EXE_Call_Write_Icons.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi->AB_UI_Frmwk_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi->AB_Create_Build_Application.vi->EBUIP_Global_OnCommand.vi->EBUIP_Global_OnCommand.vi.ProxyCaller
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Select File>>Open to open the VI and then verify that you are able to run it.
VI Path: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\vi.lib\Platform\icon.llb\Read Icons from ICO File.vi
This happens even when I try to build a simple vi, like a random number generator.

Same problem here. Error 1003 and error 8 I encoutered often.
For error 8 during build process, I needed to save the executable on a higher level in the file hierarchy.
For error 1003, I did not find a solution. Restarting LabView does not help. Sometimes (but not always) restarting the computer helps. Sometimes I need to reinstall the labview system.
More details: I have a first vi, starting the actual vi with a hidden front panel (second vi). This vi can also be started directly. Sometimes, the build process runs smoothly then when I include the second vi as main vi to start the program.
The program runs fine when the build process succeeds, and it runs fine in LabView.

Error 1073 (on Clear Errors.vi) When Building Application in LV 8.2

I have seen numerous posts about this problem when building an application without a block diagram in LV 7.x, however, I am recieving this error on LV 8.2. Whats most disturbing about it, is that it always hangs when processing Clear Errors.vi. I have tried my source on two different machines, to no avail. Also I tried to do a mass recompile of the entire vi.lib again no help. It is very important that this program compiles, however I cannot get past this error. Any suggestions?
My specific error message is here:
Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:

Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: This property is writable only when the VI is in edit mode, or this method is available only when the VI is in edit mode.

Hello Paul,
I am sorry for not elaborating previously. This issue has been documented previously for further investigation to our R&D group (# 3ZK9LGP2). In the report I found that this error, though vague in the description, is fixed by enabling MathScript Support.
To enable MathScript support, check the checkbox in the application properties for the 'Enable MathScript support' option.

How to include help files when building installer

Hi!
How can I include my application help manual (in .pdf format) when building the installer such that the file goes into a designated folder and its link appears in the Start>Programs>App folder ?
Thanks,
Gurdas
Gurdas Singh
PhD. Candidate | Civil Engineering | NCSU.edu

Gurdas,
Add the .pdf as a support file in your executable
Create an installer for the executable
Under the "Files" button on the "Installer" tab select the .pdf and select "create program item".
This will place the .pdf in the start menu program group.
cheers,
Brett

I have searched and can find no real sollutions to this problem. I did the updates and still nothing. Now I can't even build an app with Laview 8.6. I reference several .NET items and refuse to rebuild each and every one of them. My only option at this point is to uninstall all Labview and then reinstall 8.6 so I can do something.
Help if you can.

Hello RBrown
I am really sorry for this inconvenience! This is a known issue.
Can you please attempt the following for me:
When you are building an application, under Advanced please check the last box "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout"
If that doesn't work, you may need to rebuild the LLB in a separate directory with new names, and use it as the build inclusion.
Here are some forum posts strictly for your information:
I have found users that have had similar issues. I am trying to make this workaround work for you.

Error code -13 when building installer

Hello,
I need some help! I am trying to create an installer for my application; which was created with no problems; but I keep getting a message about an error code -13. I'm adding an image of the message since it is a long one. I really don't understand what the error means or how to repair it. Any help I could get is appreciated!

Hello rd.mcdt,
The following link has information about a similar problem, could you try to follow the process described on the link? Please look for error code 13 instead error code 30 and let us know if this helps.

Error when building Installer with USI 1.5.0 with Labview 8.5

I used to build an installer with Labview 8.2 and included this additional installer USI 1.5.0 but now with labview 8.5 it gives me an error:
"Locate the "NI LabVIEW" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribuiton to conitnue building the installer"
Any advice

Hi reza_sed,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. When you get this message, are you prompted for a location of this installer (CD drive or something)? Sometimes if components are installed together, certain dependencies are created. You might be able to add the installer to a LabVIEW 8.2 installer with no problem, but the installer cannot be found when using a different version of LabVIEW. You might try uninstalling USI, then copying the install files from the CD or from our website to your hard drive and then installing from there. Then, you should be able to include the additional installer.
Another thing that may be happening is that the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine you have for 8.5 does not support NI-USI. The full version of the Run-Time Engine supports NI-USI, but the web browser only version does not. Make sure you select the full version when installing.

Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error when building installer

I'm trying to build an installer for a very simple VI I've created in 8.2. Before the build is complete I get a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error message pointing towards the labview.exe file. I've already tried re-installing LabVIEW and deleting older versions of the LabVIEW Runtime engines with no luck. I recently upgraded my system from LabVIEW 6.1 and I'm using Windows XP. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I included waveform storage, runtime engine 8.2, ni-visa-runtime and ni-serial3.1. I tried to create a setup.exe by installer on an other pc. But it's completely the same behavior afterwards. I attached the error message. This message appears after I choose the path and continue the setup. It's the question which file is meaning.
I tried to create a setup.exe by installer without any additional.
The strange thing is it was unsuccessful with following message. Maybe this will be helpful to find the problem.

Prompt_Missing_Products dialog when building installer

Hello again,
Hopefully an easy question! When I open one of my three installer builds for my product, change the version and contact information, and press OK, I get a dialog that I really don't want to copy all of the text for (see screenshot below), but involves the words "Prompt_Missing_Products" and what looks like an upgrade code (but is not the upgrade code listed on that same installer properties page), followed by "Do you want to continue?" with Yes/No. I choose Yes, and everything seems fine. I've seen this a couple times, but not every time, and it's making me nervous, so I hope one of you can explain it.
Full error (warning?) text in this screenshot:
Thanks in advance for any insight,
-Joe

Hi Cody,
Thanks for your reply. I have the bare minimum additional installers selected (just LabVIEW 2010 Runtime and NI-VISA Runtime, which my product uses). Unless I should unselect some of the sub-categories of the 2010 Runtime? I've been assuming I should have them all, but I admit I don't know for sure.
As long as nothing is changed or broken by hitting Yes, then I guess it doesn't matter. Thank you for your reassurance!
