How do I create an installer for older versions of LV?

I have applications, for different customers, in different versions of LabVIEW. After installing the latest update to 8.2 it seems it is no longer possible to create an installer with an identical suite of additional installers. I think it should be possible to rebuild an installer with additional installers of your choice, i.e. older versions!
I would like to change only the LV-app and not the rest in order to avoid potential new problems. To be able to create an installer based on a LV-app in 8.0.1. I now need several CD:s from different LV releases. How could that be solved?

Hi Elinas,
I don't totally get what you want but I think I see your problem.
You want to create an installer with LV7.1 (or something), right?
Then when you build it and say add NI-DAQ drivers the installer asks for the LV 8.2 driver disk?
This is expected, because it is not looking at the LabVIEW version but at the NI-DAQ current version and it's origin (LV 8.2 driver disk).
There is no harm here  as long as the up-to-date driver on your computer is backwards compatible (check this, the mentioned NI-DAQ and DAQmx removes older cards at every release!)
So it is not asking for the LV-disk but for the driver disk. If you want to install older drivers, you have to seperately download them from the NI-site and install them seperate (or remove the new one and install the old one, but I think you'll get errors)

  • How do I create an installer for my project that allows for variable data entry like a server unc path?

    Hello All,
    I have a questions and a few hours of scouring the internet hasn't brought me much closer to an answer.
    Here's what I want to do. I have created a visual c# wpf application. I want to have an installer that during install time will have a text box or something where I can enter a server path as a string. Basically my application needs to know where to look
    for a server unc path \\server\somesharedfolder that it will be accessing primarily for its work. Secondly, how do I reference said information from within my code.
    I have come across application/user scoped settings, which appears to be what I'm looking for. However I can't find a way to have the installer prompt for a value "Server Path:" __________ that I could type into during installation. So far it appears
    the only way would be to edit the config.deploy file before running the installer, which isn't a big deal but you'd think there'd be an easy way to take in variables during install.
    EDIT: Apparently I can't edit the config.deploy file as I get an error message about the hash not matching.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello,
    The forums I found confusing, didn't know the best place to put this question so I put it here.
    I have found the answer over at stackoverflow and will detail here for anyone who may stumble across the same problem.
    The problem is ClickOnce seemingly doesn't support this feature. Installshield LE either doesn't or does but its incredibly too complicated if all you need is one variable passed to the registry during installation. And it seems the words used for googling
    this particular problem will never lead you to the solution.
    So here's how to do it (we will be first adding the Visual Studio Installer Add-on to restore original installer project functionality):
    1) Inside of visual studio 2013 go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates
    2) On the left-hand side click on Online -> Visual Studio Gallery
    3) In the upper-right search box search for "Visual Studio Installer"
    4) Download the extension labeled "Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects"
    5) Install, then open a new project under Templates -> Other Project Templates -> Visual Studio Installer -> Setup Project
    6) Now for the gold. In the solution explorer there are icons in a bar just below its title bar, highlight till you see "User Interface Setup" and open it.
    7) Now you can right click on Start, Progress, End etc any Category heading and hit Add Dialog.
    8) From here for my purposes, I used TextBoxes A
    9) Once you add it, click on it and observe its properties window. You will see Label, Property, and Value. Make a note of the property name as it will be used to store the data directly into the registry. *Note: there appears to be no way to perform data
    validation using the built in textbox dialogs, users can enter whatever they want and move on.
    10) Go to the registry editor on the same icon bar under solution explorer.
    11) Specify your registry folder, make a new value (I used string) and name it whatever you like. In the value section enter the property label formatted as such   [EDITA1]   depending on your value. 
    12) Now when you run the installer for your project, it will take data into that field and place it into the registry provided it has access to that key with the permissions you run the program under.

  • How can I create an installer for my project that can work on 32-bit Windows if I have 64-bit Windows Vista?

    Hi, 
    I made a LabVIEW project that works perfectly and made an installer for it. I tested the installer on my own computer and everything worked well. The goal for my installer was to put it on multiple computers. So I tried to do this on another computer that has Vista 32-bit and it told me that the installer can only run on 64-bit computers. I tried to choose to install run-time 32bit and it did not change anything, there was still a message to tell me that this installer only can be ran on 64-bit computers. How can I make an installer that works on 32-bit computers? 
    Thank you. 
    Solved!

    The code will have to recompile, but yes it should work.  I recommend making a backup before proceeding just in case.

  • Updated - How to get a licence file for older versions of JRockit products.

    Follow the steps in the topic above, but the file can be found at this location instead.

    Hello,
    For Electronics Workbench 5.x you don't need a Release Code, only your Serial Number. If you need the installer please send the request to [email protected], include your Serial Number and contact information.
    Have in mind that we no longer support version 5, the installer could fail depending on your operating system.

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.

  • How do I install upgrades of CS4 package and bypass the installation of older version(s) first?

    Hi,
    I would like to install the CS4 designing premium upgrade to my new iMac. It's using the new 10.6 OS. My previous Mac 'past away' over three years ago.  How do I install upgrades and bypass the installation of older version(s) first?  I do owned the full version of each individual software from CS4 designing premium in the past, including the ones Adobe acquired from Macromedia.  I also bought and used all the sequential upgrades of each individual software as they came out.  However, my purchase of CS3 package came right after my Mac died, so I never register that package's softwares.
    Thank you,
    George

    This forum is for discussing the functionality of these forums, not for discussing other Adobe products and services. I think the place where you should post your question is either in the Create Suites forum:

  • How can i create a Trash for external USB Drives ?

    Hello,
    how can i create a Trash for external USB Drives or my TimeCapsule ?
    Thanks.

    You do not need to create trash cans for individual drives.  The trash can on the desktop holds deleted files from all mounted drives.
    TimeCapsule manages its own space.  If it fills up it will delete older backps to make space for newer ones.

  • PDQ - Create Silent installation for EXE install package

    The first question is: Do you have the free version or paid for version of PDQ Deploy? This will make a little difference in your approach for deployment.For the .net part, just download the off line installer for the version you want to deploy. This will be in a .exe form just append the /quite /norestart options to the command line. No need to check if .net is already installed, the installer will just exit if there is nothing to do.For your application, you need to find out if there is a silent install option.For the registry you can just export the registry keys in question with regedit. then in your installer action/script just run the following command regedit.exe /s .regYou can add this all to the install sequence if you have the paid for version or in a .cmd file in the same location as the other install files in your packages...

    Hi,
    I got EXE file for installation
    want to create it a silent installation for deplying it to 100 computers.

    how to create all this procces to be installed Silent mode

    Hi Sander,
    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.

  • How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

    You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?
