How can I build an application that calls functions in a dll if the associated hardware is not present?

I am trying to build an application that use the "Call Library Function" node to call functions in a dll.
The dll was provided by a third-party and includes functions to drive an I2C communication board.
The problem I have is that the dll does not not properly because the hardware is not present.
Therefore when I load the VI a broken arrow is displayed and when I am not able to build the application.
I will not be running the application on the PC where I build the application, therefore I want to be able to build the application on a remote PC that has not all the hardware installed. Once the application will be build it will be installed on the target PC that has all the hardware.
How can I make the application builder to build the application event if the dll is not properly loaded? (the dll will be properly loaded on the target PC)
I want to do this on LabView 5.1.1, any ideas?

Some .dlls don't try to attach to the driver when loaded.
I've worked with both and unfortuately, I've not figured out a way around this problem.
You could possibly use the Conditional Disable structure around the dll calls so they would not be loaded unless you're in the runtime engine. But i've not tried this so I don't know for sure if it's possible.
Anyone??

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How can I build an application that deploys my shared variable library?

I have a VI that I want to build into an application and put on a non-development machine. I am using a shared variable which obviously is contained in a library. In the VI itself I can deploy the library by specifying a path. Is there a way to build the application so that the library is deployed automatically when the .exe launches? I want to get away from having the end user to have to know where the library is and set the path correctly.

Hi Troy,
Sorry, but I think I missundersood you.
I think you have to deploy the library programmaticaly by using the Application Control functions (OpenAppRef, InvokeNode)
I didn't test this but the following picture shows how to start:

How do I build an application that will run without being installed?

I have seen some of the prior posts on trying to do this, but most of them were older, so I'll ask:
Using 7.1, how do I build an application that will run without having to install the runtime engine? I have a client that wants to run serial port monitoring VIs to watch some custom hardware we built for him. His IT dept. won't let him install anything. If I could make this VI run off of a USB thumb drive without needing anything installed on the system it would be ideal. Space is not a problem, so I could include any runtime files needed. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks

Under what operating system was it running under back in the 90's when it was working?
I think that starting with NT platforms (applies to 2000 and XP, but not 9x) the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) prevented direct I/O to serial ports. Serial port related code that ran fine on 3.x and 9x would not run under NT platforms without modification.
Just some food for thought, do not know if it applies to your situation.
Good Luck

How can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit

how can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit so on your block page will not let me block it!!! So frustrated and I am not answering it with all the hackers out these days I don't want to give them access to my phone.

@lottsandy
I can understand your frustrations and concerns with receiving these unknown calls! I would love to assist you with preventing these types of calls.
Sounds as though you're receiving some type of telemarketing call. Although you're unable to add the shorter numbers to your call block list, you can definitely add your number to the National Do Not Call registry http://1.usa.gov/1whONxp. I hope this will help prevent those unwanted calls. Thanks!

If it's not available in the store in which you have your account, you're pretty much out of luck. In order to purchase from the U.S. iTunes Store you need a)a valid billing address in the U.S., b) a credit/debit card billed to that address or an iTunes prepaid card purchased in the U.S. and c) to be physically located in the U.S. at the time of purchase.

How can I build mobile application , connect with database and can show its working by simulator

Dear, I want to build mobile application.
Actually, my application has 2 parts. one is webbased application.
Second part is mobile bases.
instructor will take interview of the students. he will enters marks by mobile and then by using BT, it will be sent to webbased part and saved in mysql database.

Actually, the mobile part of your question is irrelevant to the central issue of building an application that will allow:
1. Collecting information from a student
2. Entering that information into a database
To do this, you would build a form page that allows you to input the desired information. When that form is submitted, validate the information and enter it into a database.
Once you have this working, format the form page so that it displays well on mobile devices.
To use this you would browse to the form page on your mobile device browser, input the information, and submit it.
Is that what you want?

Distributing an Application that calls Visual Studio built DLLs

I have a LabVIEW application that calls a Visual Studio 2005 built DLL, that then calls functions from another Visual Studio built DLL. When trying to distribute this application it will execute perfectly well on all machines with Visual Studio installed, but on any machine that doesn't have Visual Studio installed, despite installing the Visual Studio Redistributable Package on the machine, I get the error message on attempting to run the application:- "Missing External Function 4575Interface.dllname of function):C in (sub VI that uses function).vi" for the 10+ VIs that use functions called from that dll.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
You will need to manually add all of the DLLs you
are calling into your LabVIEW project. Check in the folder
"Dependencies" in your Project Explorer what external DLLs the VIs are
using, then drag and drop those DLLs into your project. LabVIEW will
not automatically include these external DLLs when you specify a build
specification unless you explicitly tell it to do so. When you
distribute the application using an executable, always explicitly
select those DLLs as "Always Included". Finally, register these DLLs on
the target machine by using Windows command: regsvr32.exe. I would recommend you to write a Windows batch file *.bat to ease the deployment process.
Another
point to note is, the DLLs you will find in the folder "Dependencies"
are the DLLs LabVIEW automatically recognized through what you are
calling in your program. However if any of these DLLs is linking some
other DLLs, LabVIEW will not be able to detect them on the build, so
you will need to add the DLLs into your project manually for
distribution.
Hope this helps,

How can I remove an application that is under another apple id?

Apple Support Community,
I purchased a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, Mid 2012, running OS X 10.9 (13A603) used on Amazon. I neglected to reset the computer upon recieving so now I am stuck with somewhat of a quagmire. I don't want to reset the computer now since I have installed most of the programs I will need for my day to day functions not to mention all my media that I was able to convert from my old PC. There is an issue I am having with the App Store trying to update "Angry Birds" but it will not continue with the update because I am entering the wrong User ID for the download. Is there anyway I can just delete this application from the update area? I noticed that when I went to download Mavericks there were updates available for applications that were already installed on the Macbook so I simply deleted the previous versions on the Macbook and downloaded the recent updates under my Apple ID. I would do this for the Angry Birds application but this would require me to purchase it when I do not want this game on my computer... Does anyone have any advice to solve my situation?
V/R,

The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

How can I create an application that has no menu bar?

I have an application which has all of its functionailty available on screen as buttons or fields. This works very well at the moment. However when I create and run the application I see a men bar appears nuch the same as when deisgning the application namely, "File, Edit, Operate, Tools,, Browse, Windows, Help". I really don't want them to appear at all as everything is already catered for on screen. I have looked at the menu vi's but it is not clear how I can simply not have a menu bar.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Kevin

Many thanks,
I have asked a similar question to this before but for some reason I always think I need to do these sort of things programmatically in the code rather than in a settings.
Thanks in any case.

How can I use installed applications that just keep bumping on my dock?

Hi,
I have an earlier 13'' 2011 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion up to date. Everything works fine except for 2 different things:
1st- The Apps problem:
Well, I installed and used dropbox for a long time but someday, for no reason I can discover, it became a normal folder and the dropbox app icon was no more on my menu bar.
I tried opening, reeinstalling, everything.Now, even having it installed, I start the app and it doesn't show up, not even the icon nor the folder, but in the activity monitor, "she's" there. How can I solve this?
Another problem was the Skype App, that one I never came to use in this MacBook because I install it and then everytime I try to run it it simply bumps on my dock and stays bumping as long as the computer's on, so..no skype, ever (a headache I must say).
The same happened to vlc, that bumps too (and nothing more) and flutter, that doens't open too.
2nd- The so much talked ML battery issues that I honestly can't solve and really annoy me:
I heard a lot about the Mountain Lion battery issues but after hearing it was solved with some upgrade I went for it.
I must say I regret it many times because the battery life droped from 8h (7,5h wireless and one or two apps opened) to 2 hours (TWO!).
I was in panic until I found what I thought beign the solution, some "killall" command for the terminal that removed the desktop background, which in fact made the battery return to 5,5 to 7,5 hours with wirelless on.It worked for a few days and then it came back to normal. I continued doing it very regularly to keep the battery running fine but it started making no difference, so, crappy battery life now (the curious thing is when I leave it unplugged and turned off for a night, he wakes up with the good battery life again, but one on each 3 times maybe)
Hope you can help me!
Kind regards

iPhoto for iOS definitley seems to have its own idea of how to arrange the photos in an event or album. Many users are frustrated by this. Even when the photos are arranged in the correct order in the Photo app they are in a different order in iPhoto for iOS. So far there is no way to correct this. At least, after numerous posts on this forum, no one has posted a method or fix.
