Excel invalid path in exe file

Hi,
I have an issue with my application I'm using the report file generation tool to read data from an excel file and I receive an error
"Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on UNIX."
when I open my xls file I was told that it is because the path in the exe file doesn't match the path during devellopement, in the exe file it seems to point to a dll file.
Does anybody have a solution?
Thank you
Olivier

Hi,
Does your program work fine in the development system, and the problem occures after building an exe-file ?
If that.s the case, I have had a similar problem. I solved it by adding some of the VIs in the _excelsub.llb located in "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\_office" to my project and then to "dynamic VIs and support files" in the build specification. I could not add the complete llb because some of the VIs where broken (maybe some issue with my installation.. ). If you look trough the code in the report VIs you use you find the VIs that are dynamicly linked and therefore have to be added to the build.
Good Luck !

Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly

Hi all,
I've got a tricky problem over here: we are using OMB scripts for generating simple extract mappings that just copy data from an oracle source table to a flat file on a directory. Up untill now ( with version 11.1 ) this did not pose any troubles, but now we are using 11.2 for the first time and we don't get the mappings to execute. Generating, validating and deploying all works fine, only executing fails with the error: "Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly". It ends to rapidly, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the repository and not on the database itself.
I'm pretty sure all locations are defined as needed, flat file operator in the mapping has correct location, the flat file module has the same location,...
I tried almost everything: recreate oracle module, recreate flat file module, unregister and recreate db location, unregister and recreate dir location, recreate mapping and flat file, export/import...
The strange thing is, I was able to execute a mapping once. Although it ended with an error (due to a function in the mapping), it created the file correctly. After that I needed to update the directory path of the target location and from then on, I always got the error above, and I don't see a good reason.
Any suggestions??
Tnx,
Michel

That error is displayed when the generated code fails to execute with one of the following database errors;
UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH
UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE
So its worth checking the generated code for that map and searching for the code around UTL_FILE.FOPEN and seeing what the path and the file name in the code are. Maybe the file is created with permissions such that it can be created but not then re-written and its an OS permissions thing (such as UMASK settings).

Packaging an AIR application in a .EXE file using ADT

Hi All,
I have to package a .AIR file in .exe file with ADT.
Is it possible setting a default installation path in exe file using ADT tool?
I would like to create a .exe file where user can't interact with installation wizard to set a particular path.
Does it exist a particular option?
Would you suggest an example?
(...adt -package -target native ??? myApp.exe myApp.air)
Thanks in advance

Invoking exe file through java program

I have one exe file,which i want to invoke it from java program.I have used Runtime class to execute the exe, but it throws an exception

However if i give the absolute path of exe file then it doesn't throw an exception but at the same time,it doesn't the do the expected job.
Can somebody throw some light on this?
Thanx in advance

Have you tried also supplying the absolute paths of the file arguments like "samples\medform.a"?

Labview- Excel template path at run time(to build .exe file)

I am new to labview and I have one doubt in it. I have one main.vi file where I use local drive path to invoke one excel template, Now I have to convert this .vi file in to .exe file. So now I cannot give the local drive path to invoke the template because the client will not have the same path as mine. So what I did is I created one project. Under this project I created one virtual folder which contains the excel templates. My doubt is how to give path for the excel-template in main.vi file. Please let me know if you guys know. thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
saamy

Hi again.
Here is a strategy I always use when I create a project:
Create a folder named for example "My project". In this folder I create new folders called "Bin", "Doc", "Data" and "Img". I put my main Vi in the "Bin" folder and for example the excel template in the "Data" folder.
I then create a project in LabVIEW and I add the "My project" folder into this project as an autopopulating folder. This means if I add a file in i.e the "Bin" folder it will automatically come up in the project.
When I create my Main.vi and want to use the excel template, I simply add a folder path constant to the "Data" folder on my computer. I don't care about the LabVIEW project file.
After I'm done programming and I'm happy with the result I need to prepare the VI for being converted into an .exe file. This means I have to remove all the path constants and add the application folder node mentioned above. I have to know what folder hiearchy I want the installer to create. In this example we can use the folder where the .exe file will be and then a sub-folder named "Data" where the excel template will be. The path will be like "the_folder_where_the_exe_is\data\exceltemplate.xlsx."
When I create the .exe file I can add which files that will always be included. Here I add the Data folder containing the excel template. After that I create an installer where I add the folder where the exe file is, which I just created.

Labview- .EXE file with excel template

How to create a .exe file from the .vi file with excel template. Since I am giving only .exe file, the client wont be having the excel templates. So please tell me how to build a .exe file with templates which will be invoked by mainfile.vi. Please let me know if U guys know. (Now in my mainfile.vi I am using local file location path to invoke)

Hi saamy,
I have tested it out at my PC and it is working.
I have tested with MS office report and put the template "Excel Template.xlt" under VI's folder (C:\temp) and make the exe file.
After the exe file has been moved to other place(C:\build) and has been executed, the exe file try to locate "Excel Template.xlt" under both C:\temp and C:\build. As long as the template is the same folder with exe file, it is working.
Pls refer to attached file.
Hopefully it will help. Please let me know the result.
Thanks & Regards,
Steve

How to use Client_Host without the exe file path

Hi,
i'm using oracle forms 10g,
in my application the users can upload any type of files (doc,xls,pdf,avi ,.. etc) and any user can download and open any of these files.
i implement this using client_host and including the path of winword.exe or AcroRd32.exe ,...
in many cases i don't know where these exe files are installed in the client side or whether it is installed or not.
i tried this command : client_host('calc.exe') it works and show me the calc without including the path of this exe file.
what i want to do is to just call the target file(doc,pdf,avi,..) in the client_host without having to precede this with the exe and path like the calc.exe example.
if you go to start->run and write for example c:\ahmed.mpeg , windows automatically call the real player or any other video software installed and open the movie.
can we implement this in oracle forms? and how?

Unable to download exe files after unblocking, 404 error. handler mappings execute change prevent infopath, export to excel, and sharepoint designer from working.

I removed .exe from the block list, checked MIME types, all ok,
I followed this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/b380a13e-a15f-4e32-98cd-12747538ad20?prof=required
( go into IIS (I am assuming IIS 7.0) and select the particular web site and click
handler mappings and Edit feature permissions and
uncheck the Execute box .)
It works, I can now open exe files. But it causes other major troubles so far:
-Cannot Export Lists to Excel
-Cannot Publish and Save InfoPath forms
-Cannot edit subsites in SharePoint Designer.
Does anybody have another solution that won't disable other features? What is the best way to do it? I have SolidWorks Edrawings in .exe that needs to be accessible.
Thank you.
Guillaume Gagnon, MCP Senior System Administrator Forensic Technology WAI Inc.

Hi Guillaume,
As you know, if we remove the Execute permission for handle mappings, we will be able to download .exe file from SharePoint server. But as you said, this will cause other issues.
The another solution to allow to download .exe file is remove the CGI-exe handle mapping from the handle mappings directly. You may need to restart Internet Information Server(IIS). After that, we will be able to download .exe file directly.
Open the IIS manager
Select the site from the "Sites" tree
Double-click "Handle Mappings"
Right-click "CGI-exe", and then click "Remove"
Thanks,

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

Referring remote machines exe file path in exec method

Can i refer remote server machine's exe file path in RunTime class's exec method?

It's not so easy to cause a program to run on another machine. In fact virus writers consider that a challenge.
If you want to run a program on another machine, you need that machine's permission, in the form of a server that accepts requests to run programs. An FTP server can be configured to do that, and there are other servers that can do it too. Ask the administrator of the other machine about setting one up.

An unnamed file contains an invalid path

Hi. I'm using Flash CS3 on Windows XP Pro (SP3) and for the
past two weeks, when attempting to save a file, I've been getting a
dialog which is headed as "Adobe Flash CS3" and reads: "An unnamed
file contains an invalid path. OK" After clicking OK, the dialog is
dismissed but the Flash ui does not respond. Quitting Flash and
restarting it again is OK - Flash behaves "normally". This issue
does not occur every time I try to save a document - but it has
occurred every time I've used Flash. It does not occur for any
other CS3 application. I have tried to uninstall and re-install
Flash. (Same issue.) I have also tried to re-install all of CS3.
(Same issue.) I use McAfee Security Center and have scanned the
system twice without finding any issues. I have run a checkdisk on
the hard disk drive and also defragged the hard disk drive. None of
these things has changed the behaviour. Can anyone offer any
advice?
