Error generating preview with _Excel_Dynamic VIs

I do have an application which is using an Excel-template. For this reason I need to add the _Excel_Dynamic VIs.vi from the vi.lib. Without this included vi I can build an application without any problems (see attachment).
When I include the _Excel_Dynamic VIs.vi I get an error message in the preview which is not clear at all. I do have another application where I am using the same _Excel_Dynamic VIs.vi an no problem at all. I tried to
make a new app from the scratch without success.

     Hello Norick,
   I found you two statements from other forum-pages relating to the error message you receive
1.It sounds like this could be an overwrite issue. From the file path you specified, I can tell you that the error is occurring in creating the installer for your executable. Are you specifying an installer directory where you have already created an installer of the same name? If so, is that directory read only? Make sure that write privileges are enabled for you installer directory, and if that doesn't fix anything, try specifying a different installer directory.
2.It has to do with the way you have your build file constructed. The source and destination can't be the same because the application builder attempts to copy the dll into the build directory-which causes the error.
To fix the problem, create a directory containing the dlls you will be using in the build. Specify the dlls in this directory as the source file. Next, after adding all the dlls to the project, click on the "Custom Destinations..." button and for each of the dlls you've added, specify the "Windows System Directory" as the destination WITH NO RELATIVE PATH.
The build should now work...
   I hope, this information includes a solution for the error zou receive.
   Best Regards,
     Rocka

Troubleshooting "error generating preview" in Installer

From time to time, I have run into this maddening condition where I build an installer and it will not run because it reports “error generating preview” errors on the EXE for which I am trying to build the installer. Most often, I can build the EXE just fine, without errors. The run button does not show any problems, and the application EXE runs without issue. When I try to build the installer, I get the error. I have scoured NI’s web site and find many people with this problem, loads of “try this” type advice, and reports of “I fixed it” that often don’t make any sense. It is nearly impossible to troubleshoot this problem in an orderly, sensible way. Sure there are some build log files that can be activated, and you can look through them, but rarely is there anything “telling” in these rather verbose dumps (if they are created at all). How is it that the Installer builder can notify me that there is an “error generating preview”, but cannot point me at the source of the error?! How insane is that?
I would like to put out a passion plea to National Instruments Engineering, or to one of you many LabVIEW community gurus’s to provide some detailed instructions for diagnosing, finding, and fixing these vexing errors. Can someone please write up some sort of step by step for this diagnosis?
The second thing I would love is for NI to report more detail in the Installer builder as to what is causing the error. Telling me there is an error (that you just found) but keeping the issue a secret does not help me get my job done.
If there is already a detailed step-by-step guide for diagnosing and fixing these issues, I apologize for this post and would be very grateful if someone would kindly point me to this oracle of wisdom.
Thanks,

Greetings Community,
Just circling back to report out on what I did to get my install build to work again. This list contains things that *probably* fixed this issue on my system, although it is a bit of a mysterious issue so somewhat hard to nail down. Anyway, these comments may help someone some day.
What might prevent the build of an installer
You have a VI in a Dialog Disable Structure that has a problem. It could be a broken VI or a left-over VI that points to a VI that no longer exists. Whatever the problem, just because it is "commented out" does not mean that the compiler will ignore it. By the way National Instruments, I think this is a bug. Why does the compiler try to process things that are commented out?
You have a String that is wired to the selector of a Case Structure. I ran into this once. I could not build the installer. Somehow I found a reference online where someone commented on this being an issue. I found my problem VI, replaced the string with a typedef into the selecter and poof, it worked again.
You have a hard-coded path reference in your VI that points to a directory that does not exist (invalid path). In my case recently, I had a string with a path wired into a build path reference. The directory was used elsewhere to open VI's on the fly. For some reason this was OK with the EXE builder, but not OK with the installer builder.
Here is a "gotcha" - if you move a LabVIEW project to another directory, the installer forgets all of the file dependencies you have created in the installer setup. When I get a new version of LV, I create a LV project directory called "LabVIEW 2013" and move my previous (and still active) projects into that directory. I know this seems kind of dorky, but it helps me keep things straight. When I move my projects, the installer break. Trying to re-construct the build settings has been troublesome and can lead to odd "error generating preview" messages because something wasn't re-built correctly.
Well, that's what I know. The F2 patch for 2013 did not fix my most recent problem, #3 above did. If anyone finds other build issues to look for while troubleshooting, can you please post to this thread?
Thanks,
-cb

Error generating preview - installer

Hi remenakb,
You should check out this discussion forum posting. Do you have any new subvis? Do you have anything named the same? Can you build the installer anyways? What version of LabVIEW are you using?

Getting the message "Error generating preview" when building the installer.

I'm getting this error when attempting to expand the application in the installer. However, I am able to preview the built application without errors. Please see the attached screen shots. I have built this application several times before without incident. I made some modifications to the application and now I'm getting this error. What does it mean? I'm using Win XP and LV8.5.

App Builder Error.pdf ‏55 KB

If I understand this correctly, you are able to build the executable--it's just that you are not able to see the preview in the Application Builder. Is that right?
I searched some of our internal documentation. I found a record of a customer who also experienced the "unable to generate preview" error when upgrading to a new version. He was able to solve it by making sure that all of the VIs ini the build were saved in the current version of LabVIEW. This may be helpful for you.
Also, I would like to recommend that you create a new forum thread rather than posting on a very old thread like this one. You will generate more discussion from the other ni.com users. It also helps our R&D department to automatically keep track of how often these issues are reported.

We have uninstalled and reinstalled the FSRM role service but are still having the same problem.
Anybody have any ideas?

Hi,
From the error message, it failed because of "invalid argument: storagetype = '101' ".
101 means the storage type is "system" + "cache". Is there any change on your storage before the issue occurs? For example whether the source storage is changed?

Error in generating form with 6i

I have installed designer 6i rel 2 with form developer 6i on NT
4.0.
When in design editor, I want to generate the form with generate
module, the system generate "CDR-21600: A running Generator or
Utility has failed."
Also in action column writes: " It is possible that the internal
cache is now in an inconsistent state. You are therefore
recommended to close and restart the application."
Could anyone tell me what is the problem and how to solve it.
thanks

Here is an document which describes some known causes of CDR-
21600 errors. I hope it will help you.
PURPOSE
To describe some known causes of CDI-21600 errors and to
suggest possible solutions and workarounds.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This note was written for users of Oracle Designer releases 2.1.x
and 6.0.
CDI-21600 errors occur most frequently during Design Capture and
when generating forms with the Forms and WebServer generators.
Investigating CDI-21600 errors
In Oracle Designer Release 2.1.2 and Release 6.0, this error has
the form:
CDI-21600 'A running generator or utility has failed'
The Release 2.1.1 error message was: 'Generator or Utility throw
an Exception'
The CDI-21600 error message means that the generator is hitting
an unhandled exception, also known as a GPF (general protection
fault). The CDI-21600 error masks the underlying exception error.
To see the real error do the following:
1. Go into the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle\des2_70
3. Set EXCEPT_HANDLING to 0 (by default it is 1).
Repeat the action that resulted in the error.
Known Causes of CDI-21600 Errors and Possible Solutions
Some of the reasons why CDI-21600 errors occur are listed below.
1. A common cause of CDI-21600 errors is failure to install the
necessary
Developer patches.
See [NOTE:64630.1] Developer Patches required to run
Designer with Developer
2. Check that Designer is running on a supported database. Also
check that the
TNS connection is correct.
See [NOTE:60705.1] Designer Certification Matrix (HTML)
3. Check for 'dangling' foreign keys, in other words FKs no longer
owned by any
table in the repository. Delete all invalid constraints.
Invalid constraints may be created if you use the repository
dump utility to
dump and restore external foreign keys referencing tables
shared into the
application system, without dumping and restoring the tables
that own them.
If you restore a complete dump (rather than a 'skeleton' one),
and then use
the 'Reconnect Share Links' option when restoring, you may be
able to
resolve this problem.
To get a complete list of 'dangling' constraints in your
repository, connect
using SQL*Plus and use the following query:
SELECT app.name, key.name
FROM ci_application_systems app, ci_constraints key
WHERE key.table_reference IS NULL
AND key.application_system_owned_by = app.id;
You can also run CKAZANAL.ANAL_REFERENCES on your
repository and delete all
the invalid constraints that it finds. You can run the Repository
Analyzer
from: Front Panel -> Repository Administration Utility -> Utilities.
NOTE: There may be inconsistencies in the repository that the
Repository
Analyzer cannot fix. You might solve such problems by
dropping all the
tables of your application, recreate them from the ERD,
then use the
DDT and recreate your modules.
[BUG:847190] CDI-21600 during forms generation: 'dangling'
foreign key
"Since the generator is running on a repository that contains
invalid
constraints and the Repository Analyzer solves the problem,
bug closed as
unfeasible to fix."
4. Check your modules for invalid or missing references such as
missing window
placements.
5. Try generating your module against default templates and
object libraries.
6. When capturing forms or libraries, try capturing the form or
library without
application logic, then capture the application logic on its own.
See [NOTE:1064690.6] CDI-21600 when capturing design of
form with
application logic
[BUG:757541] DESCAP: CDI-21600 error reported when
capturing with
application logic
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
[BUG:926383] Duplicate of [BUG:757541] This has been fixed in
2.1.2 patch
779559. However you would be advised to apply a later patch
such as 855635
which fixes more bugs in this area.
7. Make sure that all objects that are referenced by the form have
been
captured into the repository before capturing the form.
8. A CDI-21600 will occur if a lookup usage displays only one
column of
datatype DATE or if the column of datatype DATE is displayed
as the first
item in the block.
Workaround
Add more column usages to the lookup block and do not
display the DATE data
type column usage as the first item in the block.
9. [BUG:810472] CDI-21600 when 'Argument in Caller' is set
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Workaround
Make sure that you have an argument in the called module that
is mapped to
the "Argument Passed Value" in the calling module. The only
way to get this
mapping back once the APV has the <Module Argument> label
is to delete it
and recreate it.
10. [BUG:801736] CDI-21600 on design capture of a form with
subclassed object
Fixed In Ver: 6.0.3.1.0 (backport)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5
You have an item that has been subclassed to an object.
Checking the Design
Capture option 'Capture Control Blocks' causes the CDI-21600
error. Uncheck
'Capture Control Blocks' and the problem does not occur. Open
the FMB in
Forms*Builder and look at Data Blocks -> Items. Break the link
to the
object, save the FMB, and the form will capture (similar to
[BUG:794872]).
Alternatively, ensure the link can be established.
11. [BUG:850436] CDI-21600 on generation of a form with template
having
subclassed object group
You try to generate a form out of Designer that uses a user-
defined
template. If a collection of objects in the template is grouped
into an
object group, dragged into the object library and then either
copied or
subclassed into a form, when the form is generated you get a
CDI-21600
error.
12. [BUG:822659] Module generation fails (CDI-21600) with multi-
column PK having
long prompt text
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.2
Module generation with multi-column primary key having long
prompt text
causes CDI-21600 with preference MSGSFT set.
Workaround
Shorten the prompt text of PKs may not be not applicable. You
may loose end
user information.
You may have the same problem with a mandatory compound
FK. CASEOFG tries to
generate a message '<P1> must be entered', where <P1>
contains all the
prompts of the bound items from the FK. If you reduce the
length of the
prompts, or set MSGSFT = NULL or WEDI = S or property
Mandatory?=No, it
works correctly.
13. [BUG:792542] Capturing application logic causes CDI-21600
(V2 style
triggers)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
After removal of the v2 triggers, the form captures/merges OK
on 5.0.24.8,
provided patch 875027 has not been applied.
14. [BUG:790877] CDI-21600 if the primary/foreign keys have no
key components
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.11
Generating a module with tables having a primary key not
correctly defined
(no PK component) will cause a CDI-21600 error. This can
occur when
unloading a module from the RON. If you pick up the module
(and only the
module) in the unload set, the table and its PK are unloaded as
a skeleton.
Loading the .DAT file into a new application will create a PK
without a
component.
15. [BUG:771549] CDI-21600 if cannot connect to the DB with
connect string in
Options (Compile)
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.13
If you cannot connect to the DB with the connect string
specified in options
(Compile), the forms generator will fail with CDI-21600.
This problem occurs when you cannot connect to the DB
because:
- the username or password is wrong;
- or the SQL*Net alias is not defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file;
- or the SQL*Net listener is not started;
- or the DB is down.
16. [BUG:785106] CDI-21600 when generate master detail form
with preserve layout
[BUG:855812] is a duplicate of this bug.
Fixed In Ver: 5.0.24.6.0 (Bug:860426 Backport request for 2.1.2)
Fixed In Ver: 6.0
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3
You have a master-detail Form with the Master having items
partly on a TAB
Canvas. Generate Module works OK. You enter Forms Builder
and move some
items on the tabs (just small changes, items are still on the
same tabs).
You change the look of the Detail and change Records
Displayed. Now in
Designer you generate the Module with Preserve Layout. You
get a CDI-21600
error. The problem might reproduce without doing any changes
in Forms
Builder, just by generating with Preserve Layout.
17. [BUG:891306] If primary key column of lookup in check
constraint comment of
base table
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.5
Workaround
Do not use the name of the bound item that is based on the
primary key
column of the lookup table in a check constraint comment of
the base table.
18. [BUG:896026] Forms gen throws assertion failure in
CVINI/BUILDACTIONITEM@/CV/CVI/CVIBNI.CPP
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.7
A problem is caused by a PL/SQL definition (function, package,
procedure)
being defined as a called module for the module you are trying
to generate.
To resolve the problem and enable the module to be generated,
remove all
Called Modules that are PL/SQL definitions (functions,
procedures or
packages).
See [NOTE:2107207.6] CDI-21600 during generation of module
or Assertion
Failure \cv\cvi\cvibni.cpp
19. [BUG:812333] CDI-21600 generating a web module after
adding an unbound item
Fixed In Ver: 6.5.3.0
Backport [BUG:1280667] raised to fix by 6.0.3.9
You add an unbound item (SQL expression) to a Web module.
When you try to
generate the module you get a CDI-21600 error. If you delete the
unbound
item the Web module generates correctly.
In a test case the problem occurred during validation of the
derivation
text, if the master module component was in a different module.
A workaround
was to rearrange module components so that this was not the
case.
20. [BUG:1627963] CCVDIAG::TRACEGENERATORMESSAGE

Runtime Error building Installer with NI-VISA Runtime

Greetings, I'm getting this error whenever I check the "NI-VISA Runtime" option in the installer app builder.
Everything builds fine when I check only the Runtime Engine. Shown below is what causes the RUNTIME ERROR and closes Labview Unexpectedly.
Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
JD

Hi JD,
This is a relatively common error with the Application Builder that can happen for several different reasons, namely registry keys pointing to installations that no longer exist. The easiest way to identify the problem is to get detailed information about the installer build. Here are directions:
LabVIEW has the
ability to create a very detailed log of the events that occur when
building an application or installer. To enable this feature, open up
the LabVIEW.ini file and copy "CDK.EnableLog=true" to the bottom
of the file. Save the changes and close the ini file. The LabVIEW.ini
file is usually located in C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\LabVIEW X.X
Enabling this feature will create a log file in the %temp% directory of your computer (%...% means a computer variable) .
To
find out where this temp directory is located, go to Start>>Run.
Type in "cmd". Then type "set". This will return all of your computer's
variable names.
Look for TEMP in the list of variable names. You should see something like "TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp".
Navigate to this directory using Windows Explorer.
You
should see a file named "Name.log" where "name" is the name of your
build specification. For example, you might see "My Installer.log" if
the name of your build specification is "My Installer".
This will give you a more detailed log of the attempted build and, if I'm correct about why this particular build failed, show you which installer is expected at that registry. If the registry points to a directory without the necessary installer (i.e. VISA), simply delete the registry and allow the App Builder to prompt you to to point to the correct location.

Removing the subreports as suggested, I isolated the failure to one of the three subs and rebuilt this subreport from scratch (it was only three fields) and now the report has no trouble with the pdf export. I am not sure if it had a resolvable technical issue or if it was just corrupted, as it is now working, I am not going to expend much energy on finding out.

BI Publisher - PO_DISPATCH Error generating report output

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english... having said that...
I need to modify the Purchase Order print. First, I wanted to see the standard version to get an idea of how much different it was. Well, I don't know because it doesn't work.
Error:
Error generating report output: (235,2309)
Error occurred during the process of generating the output file from template file, XML data file, and translation XLIFF file.
I know there are several topics on the web, but all of them are about new or custom reports, this is a standard one. When I preview the report on the report definition it works fine, so I assume there's a problem with the XML file generated. When I preview the report specifying an alternative XML I get the same error. The XML file I choose was the one generated by PeopleSoft when trying to view the printable version of the PO online.
So, I start cutting portions of the XML File. I started leaving only de Header Data and it works OK, when I add the Lines it failed. I add the Line Fields one by one to detect what was the problem... And finally it failed when I add AMT_LINE_MAX. Why? No idea, is it because its value is '0,000' instead of '0.000'? I don't think that should be the problem since there are other numeric fields on the header, all with ',' as a decimal separator...
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veronica.

Have a look at the following doc:

Error generating movie Adobe Premiere Elements 11

Hello,
I recently upgraded from Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to 11 (11.0).
My system is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, running on Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.5 GHz, 4GB Ram, with 75GB free diskspace.
My input movies are AVCHD 1440x1080 25i video's (MTS files).
Everything is running fine. Editing goes smoothly (even smoother than when I was still using PE8). So in that sense I'm very satisfied and I think my system can handle it well. It doesn't seem to run out of memory, etc.
However, now I want to generate the output movie. The movie is about 10 minutes long and has some music and transitions under it. Previewing the movie goes fine.
I've tried uploading it to Youtube (HD 1440x1080 file). The progress monitor stays at 0% for 5 minutes and then suddenly goes 2 100% in a few seconds and afterwards starts to upload the movie. However, the movie that's actually uploaded contained only the first 4 seconds of the video. When I tried again, it was about 14 sec.
So, then I tried generating movies locally on the PC. I tried:
Adobe Flash HD 720p.
MPEG2 HDTV 1080i 25
MPEG2 PAL DVD Widescreen
and some other formats (can't exactly remember which).
All of them ended with errors: "Error compiling movie", with cause unknown.
So, I haven't been able to generate any movie and I can't find out why it fails.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Michiel

These are not specifically for PreElements, but since other Adobe products have the same "core" in many instances, worth reading
As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

Aperture constantly generating previews and thumbnails and detecting faces

After starting Aperture or scrolling in the browser part of the Split View Aperture starts to generat previews and thumbnails and detecting faces, staling all my work in Aperture for a long time. After a while it is done, but start again if I start scrolling a lot in the browser or restarting Aperture. Aperture does not crash but it is it takes forever to work since it stalls everything. I can also se that after working for about ten minutes in Aperture almost all of my memory is gone. After a freshly restarted Mac I have about 13 GB of memory and after about ten minutes of work it is down to a few hundred MB. After closing Aperture I only get back about 8 GB of memory.
I have tried the following:
* Rebuilding thumbnails for all picture
* Force rebuilding previews for all pictures (Holding down the Option key)
* Reprocessed Originals for all pictures
* Repaired permissions
* Repaired database
* Rebuilt database
* Deleted aperture.plist file
All of the above completed without errors, but I still have the same problem. I also tried to un-check “Maintain Previews For Project” and “New projects automatically generate previews” but with no luck (This is off course not a solution but a workaround).
What else can I do?
I hav the following:
- iMac, late 2009
- 16 GB memory
- Aperture 3.5.1 (Had the same problem in Aperture 3.4.5 and possibly even before)

Is Aperture more responsive, if you defer the generation of previews by holding down the Shift-key when launching Aperture?
Feels a bit better but still regenerating previews.
Also, have you checked, if Aperture is more responsive, when you are working with a different Aperture library?
I tried creating a new library in two different ways using all pictures from my project "2010" which I know contains pictures that Aperture keeps regenerating previews from. First I exported the project as a new aperture library, but when I opened that new library it also kept regenerating pictures. Next I exported all originals from that project and imported them in a new aperture library and success. No more regeneration of previews. But I don't think it is a solution because I have over 23 000 pictures in my library and I will loose all adjustments, stacks and faces doing this to the rest of the pictures.
As to running out of memory - there have been reports, that "On Screen Proofing" might be causing this, disable it (from the View menu), if it is turned on, see this post: Re: Aperture 3.5 repeatedly crashes as 'memory full' despite 32GB RAM
"On Screen Proofing" was not on. But to be sure I tried to toggle the menu item but it did not get checked, until I understood that I had to select a Proofing Profile first. After that I selected and unselected "On Screen Proofing", but it did not help.
Do you use any Aperture plug-ins?
I had an old plug-in for exporting to Picasa which I don't think works anymore so I removed it, but it did not help.
Is your Aperture library referenced or managed?
I have a managed library.
And where is it stored?
The Aperture library is stored on my local hard drive in the shared directory. I hade plans to share it with other users on my computer but because of these problems I have not gone forward with those plans yet.
