How do I uninstall labview application with no uninstall program

I have built an application and selected to not have an "uninstall" application in the various 5.1 app builder options. I did not think this would be a problem since I thought the application would show up in my add/remove programs and could be removed from there. However, it seems that if no uninstall program is selected then the application also does not appear in the add/remove section of control panel. Do I just delete the directory of the application? Are there any registry settings to worry about. I have seen this on Win 2K and Win 98. I have not tried others.

There are registry settings when you install the application builder, and probably an association is made in the registry to open your application and have it spawn the runtime engine of the correct version. However, as the Windows Registry is the most obsolete piece of software junk on the planet, and so chock full of mysteries, incosistencies, and well, a whole list of things that I could complain about, I cannot say for certain what registry settings are added/changed when you do an installation.
I will make this suggestion. Just delete the folder, and also, you will need to delete the "my application".ini file in the root directory, or wherever your application is located (which could be taken care of when you delete the folder, but who knows.)
On
ce you have deleted the folder, any remaining registry settings left over will be added to the rather large list of leftover registry entries from other applications that are unistalled/deleted. The truth of the matter is that I have NEVER seen an application completely remove all of itself, or its registry entries. I don't even know if uninstallation removes ANY registry entries.
If we are all lucky, someone at Microsoft will take a hint and get rid of the registry. Maybe then we can have flash resident operating systems. Until then, I'll stick with Linux, thank you....

  • How do i install labview application on linux?

    Hello,
    I have a small application that i built using Labview 7.1 for windows. I have been using this application on windows xp.
    All the application does is, get an array of numbers from a file, calculate the min, max and average, and display the result in a simple 2D graph.
    Now i'm in the process of switching OS from xp to Redhat Linux. Would i be able to use this same application in Linux without any modification? if so, how do i install the application on Linux? if not possible, what changes do i need to make to get it work on Linux?
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The platform indepedence is in the way the LV code is represented. You can open a VI you wrote in LV on windows in LV for Linux or Mac and it will work. The compiler embedded in the development environment turns the VI into platform-specific executable code in the same way that a C compiler would. The problem is that actual executable code is not transferable between OSes because they simply won't know how to execute it, just as it wouldn't work with a C built application.
    If you don't want to buy LV for Linux you can try running a Windows emulator (like WINE) which might allow you to run your windows executable. Another option is to try contacting NI. They might decide to let you change your license from Windows to Linux. You should also consider that platform specific functions (like ActiveX) are not supported and that certain toolkits were only written for windows.

  • LabVIEW application with cameras

    Hello,
    I have build an application with LabVIEW and I am using two GigE cameras. In NI MAX, I set the names cam0 and cam1 respectively.
    Everything is working properly in the computer where I have build the application, when I execute it but when I  execute the application in a different computer (that doesnt have LabVIEW installed, just VAS, Vision RTE and RTE), the application executes but the cameras dont show images.
    It seems that the application doenst recognize the name and doesnt open the cameras...(I have set the same name as in the other computer: cam0 and cam1)
    Any help?
    Thank you.

    If you can see the images in MAX but not your app, that points to an app error.
    What happens when you run the EXE on the development computer? Do you get images?
    Surely one of the aquisition VIs or something is throwing an error. Are you correctly passing errors around? Maybe there's an error opening a config file you forgot to put on your RTE computer.
    Also, when you say you can't see the images, are they black or gray or what?

  • How do I share different applications with each account on my computer?

    I just got an iMac and transferred my information over from my mac book. So now my iMac has my iTunes, Microsoft Office, iCal, and Address Book on my account (I am the administrator). This is the family computer so my wife needs access to the iCal and Address Book that I update. How do I get these applications to come up in the different accounts? Right now, each account only has the basic programs. For example, they all have iTunes but they are empty, mine shows all of our music and videos. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    You need to make a shared folder in which both you and your wife have write access.
    First go to System Preferences -> Accounts, click the + button, and make a new user group. Call it something like "hubbywifey". Put your and your wife's user accounts in that group.
    Then make a new folder in /Users/Shared called "sharedstuff".
    Then open Terminal and enter this (paste in all three lines at the same time):
    chmod +a "hubbywifey allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    /Users/Shared/sharedstuff
    That will ensure that anything copied or saved in that folder will be readable and writable by you and your wife.
    Then locate the files you need to move there. In the case of Address Book, the folder is your homefolder/Library/Application Support/Address Book. Hold down the option key while you drag the folder to the new location in sharedstuff. Once you have verified that the files have copied correctly you can delete them from the old locations.
    You then need to make an alias back to the original location. Control-option-command-drag the /Users/Shared/sharedstuff/Address Book folder back to its original location in homefolder/Library/Application Support. Then log in to your wife's account and repeat the last step. You now have a completely shared address book.

  • How do you uninstall programs?

    This is my first time using a Mac, so I'm still learning how everything works. It took me a while to discover you had to drag programs to the "Applications" folder to install them.
    How would I uninstall a program? Is it a simple matter of dragging the program to the "Trash", or is it more involved like it is on Windows?

    For a few applications, to completely eradicate them you can do spotlight searches to find helper applications associated with the app you're trying to fully delete. For instance, if you want to get rid of Photoshop, there are a few of updater programs and internet plugin files that are associated with photoshop that you'll have to search for (or find some other way) and uninstall. Luckily, most apps bundle the helper programs in them (such as iTunes and the iTunesHelper app) so if you delete the main application, all the others go with it. I love that OS X can have very complex applications all wrapped up in one package instead of requiring uninstallers. However, for system enhancing utilities (preference panes, etc) the apps have to bury plugins and extensions in the system folders, but as folks mentioned these usually come with uninstallers.

  • How do I uninstall programs and files, so that the old computer is returned to its original settings?

    Hi, I'm giving my aunt my old computer, I have already backed everything up on my new one. What's the best way to remove/uninstall programs and files so that its returned to its orignial settings?

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.
