How to upgrade 5.0.1 executable to run on Windows XP?

I need to upgrade the OS on a standalone DAQ system to Windows XP.
This system is controlled by an executable created by LabVIEW 5.01 running on Windows 98.
I am not sure if we have the source code (i.e. LV vi's).
Can any one please tell me how to upgrade the system so that the LabVIEW 5.01 executable can run on Windows XP?
Thank you very much for your help.

I will try after backing up the entire system before trying it.
Another related question, if I can find the source code in LV 5.0.1, will I be able to upgrade it to the latest LV version if I buy the LV package, or do I expect problems?
I guess if it were me I'd just get a new compatible hard drive for the system (since they are so inexpensive these days) and swap it for the one with Win98. Install WinXP to the new drive and be sure that you are happy with the performance of the old machine under WinXP before proceeding. Then you can temporarily add the Win98 drive as an additional disk to the WinXP system and copy the files you need off of it and then set it aside again just in case you are not able to get the LabVIEW working. Swapping disk drives is MUCH faster and usually safer then creating and restoring backups. An alternate similar path is to add the new drive to the Win98 system and, using software like Norton Ghost, clone the Win98 system/disk to the new disk then pull out the old Win98 disk, boot off the cloned Win98 disk and upgrade that disk to WinXP. That way the old applications would exist under the new system and you may be able to run them without any further fuss.
The current version of LabVIEW should be able to read the old VI files. You could always download the demo and try it. As far as having problems, many people in general are not happy with one aspect or another of LabVIEW v8.0 and the patch to 8.0.1 certainly does not fix all the problems but if all you are doing is upgrading old code to run again under 8 then you'll probably be OK.

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

I don't know if this is exactly what you are after but you can add the following to the top of your basejini.htm file and it should prompt the user before exiting the IE window.

Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?
This is exaclty what I do not want and why I want to determine if the applet is still running before displaying any kind of message.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

How can i get a java executable (*.class) run on a web browser?

I have created a simple appilcation in java and i would like to view it through a web browser.
In order to do so, do i need to use an application server or just a web server?
Can you come up with another solution to solve my problem(view the java application through the web)?
Thank you in advance.

If it HAS to be an application (perhaps something you have already written and now need to distribute), then Java Web Start may be an option.
What is your user base? How many people will be using it? In what environment? How frequently will they use your app? I think you mentioned that it needs to read files. Is that on the user's machine?
You may be able to create an applet version of your application using the same logic but subclassing some of the components to allow for remote login etc.

How to tell if the app server is running (on windows)

Folks,
I'm trying to write a deploy.bat - to build and deploy (using ant) my enterprise-app and web-services (the firstcup example)
... I'm stuck on winblows (for now) ...
The deploy depends on the app server... so if it's not running, I'd like to start it automagically... but I've fallen on the first hurdle... I can't figure out how your supposed to determine if the server is up.
Please can anyone help?
FYI: I had a bit of a play with the asadmin tool and found:C:\Java\src\Tutorials\Sun\firstcup\example\firstcup>asadmin version
Unable to communicate with admin server, getting version locally.
Version = Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0_01
Command version executed successfully.
C:\Java\src\Tutorials\Sun\firstcup\example\firstcup>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0which looks promising... I can grep for the "Unable to communicate with admin server" (using a perl one-liner)... butt ugly but effective (for now).
TIA. Keith.
PS: There doesn't seem to be an application server forum???

Folks,
Firstly, Thanx for the underwhelming response :-)
I've got a working workaround.
I created a "hello world" webapp which I hit it from a CGI script.
It should be (slightly) more robust (and portable) than grepping for error messages from the asadmin version utility.
Shame I'm dependant on the "old hat" for the new goose though.
Cheers anyway. Keith.

How to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2 running on Windows 2008 R2 to WSUS 4.0

Hello, with WSUS 4.0 already in the market, is it adviseable to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2? I am looking at a bare installation of WSUS 4.0 in Server 2012 R2, from basic looks I have not seen yet anything different. We have 12 WSUS servers
servicing a wide area, and before going ahead with any update of this infrasturture I would like to know of anyone has gone this upgrade path yet? Thanks
Shahidul

is it adviseable to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2?
I don't think it's critical to upgrade to WSUS v6 at this time, unless your WSUS v3.2 server is still running on a 32-bit system (or any form of WS2003). If you're running WSUS v3.2 on WS2008/WS2008R2 (x64), then those platforms will continue to be supported
until 2020, so there's no immediate need. However, if you're contemplating a major migration of all systems to Win8/WS2012 environments, then it makes sense to migrate the WSUS server also. If you expect to have Win7/WS2008R2 systems online for the foreseeable
future, then WSUS v3.2 x64 will continue to meet your needs.
I am looking at a bare installation of WSUS 4.0 in Server 2012 R2, from basic looks I have not seen yet anything different.
The most notable difference is a much richer PowerShell interface, so if you're inclined to use PowerShell to manage WSUS, that would be an advantage.
A notable disadvantage is that you can only partially manage a WSUS v6 system from a Windows 7 workstation: Local publishing requires that activity to be performed from the same generation of system. For example, WSUS v6.3 can only be published to from a
WS2012R2 or Win8.1 system; WSUS v6.2 can only be published to from a WS2012 or Win8.0 system. This is due to internal dependencies on the BUILD number of the WSUS API.
I suspect the dependency was a manifestation of protecting WSUS v2 and WSUS v3 systems back in 2007 (local publishing was first introduced in WSUS v3.0), but with SIX possible builds of WSUS now available, it's becoming a major PITA!

DAQmxSystem executable not running in Windows 7

I have a very simple vi that queries all DAQ hardware connected to a PC running Windows 7 (32 bit) and LabVIEW 2009.
This vi works perfectly well as shown in the screen capture above. I then create an executable, and this is where the problem occurs: when running the .exe on the same Windows 7 PC, the .exe returns an empty DevNames list. However, if I run the same .exe on windows XP, everything works as expected.
Reinstalled latest DAQmx 9.4 to no avail. Please help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Modified again as requested: middle is .vi, far right is .exe
I run LabVIEW 2009 SP1 9.0.1 in 32 bit in Windows 7.
The reason I need this is for deployment of several CompactDAQ systems continously being moved (and modules also swapped) around across multiple PCs. I am running this function to determine which where each module type is connected before I start my data aquisition. If you have an alternative method to my end goal, I will take your suggestions.
I initially tried to do it using find.vi in syscfg.llb (not as elegant), but I have the same problem: work as a .vi, doesnt work as .exe in windows 7, and work as .exe in Windows XP.

How to transfer video clips to a computer running a Windows operating system.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Turn on the computer.
While the camera power is off, connect it to the computer using the supplied USB cable.
Make sure the camera is using a fully charged battery pack or connected to an optional AC power adapter and that it is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
NOTE: Avoid using a battery pack with little remaining charge because transferring may fail or image data might be corrupted if the battery pack shuts down too soon.
Make sure media with the recorded video is inserted in the camera.
Turn on the camera.
NOTES:
On the LCD screen, a USB indicator will display during and after the communication session.
If this is the first time the camera has been connected to the computer, the computer should automatically install the appropriate USB driver at this time.
Transfer the pictures or videos to the computer using one of the following methods:
Use the Import pictures and videos option.
In the AutoPlay window, click Import Pictures and videos using Windows.
In the Import Pictures and Videos window, click Import Settings.
In the Import Settings window, click the Browsebutton.
Click to select the location on the computer where you want to copy the movie files (for example My Videos).
Click the OK button.
In the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box, click the OK button.
Click the Import button.
Use Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
Using PMB version 4.3 or older
Using PMB version 5.0 or later
Copy and paste the video files from the Removable Disk window that represents the camera.
Open the My Computer or Computer window on the computer.
In the My Computer or Computer window, double-click the icon that represents the camera.
Click to select the appropriate camera folder that contains the video or picture files you want to transfer.
The DCIMfolder (if available) contains still picture .JPG, or .ARW files and .AVI video files.
The MP_ROOTfolder (if available) contains standard and high-definition .MP4 video files.
The AVCHD folder (if available) contains high-definition .MTS video files.
NOTE: Depending on your camera and the type of footage recorded, not all the files or folders above may be displayed.
On the computer keyboard, press CTRL+C to copy the camera folder and its contents.
Browse to the location on the computer where you want to copy the picture or video files, such as the My Pictures or My Videos folder.
Press CTRL+V to paste the camera folder and its contents into the computer folder you selected in the above step.
NOTES:
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 format to playback standard or high definition .MP4 recordings.
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format to playback high-definition .MTS recordings.
Refer to the developer of your movie player software for information about file format compatibility.
For the video to be viewable in the PMB software, the folder where the videos or pictures were saved must first be registered in the software. Information about how to register folders is available in the PMB Guide in the Help section of the software.

How do I install Tekton MM in CS5 running on Windows 7 (32-bit)?

I called up a file done in an earlier version of InDesign (probably CS4) on my previous computer running Windows XP, and on the new computer it indicated that Tekton MM regular was missing. I had the Tekton MM files on my old computer in a PSFonts folder. I copied the pfb files to the Fonts folder in InDesign CS5, and found that Tekton MM reguar was available. In InDesign, the other variations (bold, etc) had names such as 240 RG 250 CN, although the adjacent samples look fine. I suspect this may have something to do with the associated pf files (.pfm, afm, fontinfo) but do not know how to sort this out. Any suggestions?
(I did look at the pfm files, and Windows offered to install, but it looked as if it would install only one variant.)

Thomas Phinney had this to say on his blog:
Yeah, I know MM fonts are pretty nearly dead as a deliverable format for end users. Apple’s support for MMs is flaky enough that Extensis tech support has suggested Suitcase should warn people they won’t work reliably, and Windows has no reasonable native support (an ATM install can be hacked on Vista and probably Windows 7 to make them work well, or you can do manual registry entries for every single font)."
But I've not found any instruction anywhere for doin gthe ATM hack, so you'd be on your own.

Upgrade bootcamp to 2.1 without running windows?

I want to install Windows for the first time. I have Windows XP SP3 install disk, but I see I need BC 2.1 to install SP3 and I have just BC 2.0. Do you have any idea how to upgrade bootcamp to 2.1 without running windows, that I can't install without BC 2.1? Thank you.

You are in a catch-22.
BC 2.1 is suppose to improve device driver support. No harm trying, just backup OS X first, allow for partition size you can live with.
When you have it running, insert Leopard, let it run Apple drivers, and see if BC 2.1 is offered. But given the trouble and reports, 'if it ain't broken' probably applies and wait before doing the update.
I would take a look at WinClone and create a Windows image for restore purposes in OS X, just in case anyway.
Just look at the long threads on BC 2.1 results!

How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV

Hello and thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
BUT, as I said above -
1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.
After
There are purchased items on the iPod that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating the iPod. Are you sure you want to continue?
I get

Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod.
Cancel                Continue
and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
"Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow." was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
More Infomation    OK
So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
The "More Information" link leads to
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
which I have already seen before.
I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:
You can help Apple improve its products a
while copying this into this message the computer began to start up Final Cut Pro and this was cancelled, then iTunes came up with a message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.

Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)
