Installer instal labview application as window service

Dear NI
I want to make an installer which installs labview application as windows service.
Currently i am using third party tool to do this. Is it possible with labview application builder.
regards

It should be possible also with installer builder. You should automate described steps (put some entries into the registry and call executable from MS ResKit). Resourse kit should be deployed with same installer (not sure if there "silent" install possible, otherwise read ResKit documentation and license agreement). Alternatively you can build installer with third party tool - in this case you will have more "freedom". In the past I have done this with Inno Setup - works without problems.

Preventing help files being added to start menu after installing an application in windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi Guys
when we install an Application in windows 8 family, we see that in addition of Application executable file, user manuals (.chm) and PDF & other files related to that App are added to start menu (when we click down Arrow which shows all programs) and
so the start menu gets quit messy.
is there any settings to make only applications executable file be added to start menu & prevent other types of files related to that App being added here?
thanks in advanced

Hi John,
This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
• An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
• The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
• The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

How to install Labview 2009 on Windows 7

This might be a Windows 7 configuration. I tried "Run as administrator" or Run in Compatibility mode" the setup.exe file. Windows 7 does not allows to copy files in the System32 folder, so I can't install Labview.
Is somone can help to install Labview 2009 on Windows 7?
Thank you

Seems as though you're seeing something different than what I first thought.
LabVIEW should install to a drive other than "C" without trouble.
I had a look around to see if anyone else had seen this problem, and I found something interesting here: http://windowstipsandfixes.blogspot.com/2008/10/error-1310-cant-write-to-configmsi.html
Specifically with regards to resetting the Windows installer with the following:
msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver
Other than that, I'm not sure what might be causing the problem you're seeing.

ColdFusion 9 Application Server windows service not being created

I've done multiple installs of CF9, both 32 and 64-bit versions, on Windows 2003 servers and the ColdFusion 9 Application Server windows service isn't being displayed in the Services console. If I go into the registry under HKLM\System\CCS\Services - I see the key for CF9 App Server was created, but "Description" is the only subkey value that was created. The .Net Service, ODBC Server, Search Server, Solr Service windows services are being fully created properly.
Can anyone shed some light on why the Application Server service isn't getting registered properly and any possible fixes?
TIA

Did you check out the ColdFusion Installation Log for any relevant failures?
Any possible firewall or security settings not allowing the ColdFusion installer creating what it needs to create?

Guidelines to improve the reliability of a LabVIEW application in Windows XP.

I am searching for guidelines to improve the reliability of a LabVIEW application in Windows XP (ie: disable keyboard, bypass login screen, disable questions during boot up, disable antivirus, etc.) - customer will use LV RT but currently running in WXP.
Thanks.

Hello �
There are several things you can do to improve LabVIEW�s performance. Take a look at the following links:

Can we start JavaWebStart Application as Windows service

Hi,
Can we have JavaWebStart application as windows service?
Thanks
LeoSun

Hi LeoSun,
I dont exactly how to start this is as a window service, but if your requirement is just to start your application when the machine boots,
then you can create a shortcut for ur webstart app, using the jnlp tag <shortcut>
then add this shortcut to your windows startup folder.

How to run application as Windows Service

I have developed an appl using Java Swing. I want to run the application as Windows Service. How can I do that? Along with that, I also want to start Tomcat Server as a separate Windows service. Kindly Suggest some solutino to this!!

There is a version of Tomcat that runs as a service. (1.4 for windows?)
As for your own app, there are several free service launchers around (Google for java service etc.) Not sure about a service with a user interface though - services are usually headless. You may have to paritiotn your app into a headless service and a user interface app which communicaes by RMI, sockets or some other RPC mechanism.

Install http apache 2 Windows service

I installed Oracle HTTP Apache 2 in the same server (Windows 2003) with the Oracle database software installation. I tried to follow the following artical to install a Windows service but failed to start the service afterward. I ran the following command in command prompt to create the Windows service and, when I tried to start it, it said "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".
Thanks.

<pre>
sc create OracleHTTPServerProcessManager binPath= "f:\ora_http_v2\opmn\bin\opmn.exe -s" DisplayName= "OracleHTTPServerProcessManager" start= "auto"
</pre>
Here is the article that I read:
http://ora-00001.blogspot.com/2008/04/adventures-with-apex-part-two-setting.html

Had exactly the same problem, then I noticed the capital S after opmn, it is casesensitive see metalink doc id 428131.1
So this should work
sc create OracleHTTPServerProcessManager binPath= "f:\ora_http_v2\opmn\bin\opmn.exe -S" DisplayName= "OracleHTTPServerProcessManager" start= "auto"

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.

Porting a labview application from windows to linux

Hello,
I need to compile a labview application that has been created for windows under linux. It depends on calls to functions NBFifoCreate and NBFifoWrite. These are part of the nbfifo.dll library under windows. Could anyone point me in the right direction how to replace this dependency?
Also I am trialing LabView Professional Linux. As I am reading along I gather that I might need LabView RT Module. Is that correct and does it come included with the Professional version.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Damien1979,
It sounds like you have an application developed under the Windows OS which used features of the LabVIEW Real-time Module. Now, however, you are trying to open the same VI or Project under Linux. Is that correct?
What distribution of Linux are you using?
Which version of LabVIEW are you using?
The LabVIEW development system is supported under Linux, however, not all modules and toolkits are available for installation. This link below contains the supported modules.
Developing Linux Applications with NI LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI
I believe the NBFIFO.dll related files are associated with the LabVIEW Real-time module, but I haven not confirmed that yet. The LabVIEW Real-time module is not featured in the link above.

Which solution is better for schedules task? Console application or windows service?

I have a "MULTI-LEVEL" XML file that I will be getting on daily basis and I want to accomplish following tasks:
1) I have to read and parse the "MULTI-LEVEL" XML data
2) Then I have to set or create some kind of .net service (c#) that read the xml and parse the data once a day (daily)?
3) Now I have SOAP service from other software where I want to feed this XML data to. The schedules service will compare the XML data with software data and update (or add) based on the comparision.
For this task, I come to conclusion that there are 2 best ways to do this:
1) Create a console application and use windows task scheduler to run it everyday
2) Create a windows service that runs in the background
Which is a better way (or reliable) solution to do this task? Please advise

There are several things to keep in mind when writing an app that is designed to run without a user logged in. One of the most common mistakes is requiring some sort of user input. Since the task will run without user intervention you don't want
any sort of calls to Console.ReadLine, MessageBox.Show, etc. They will cause the task to freeze and eventually need to be terminated. You also don't want to rely on any sort of desktop apps running since a user may or may not be logged on at the
time.
Also be aware that a task can be scheduled to run under any user context. As such you either need to ensure it runs under an account with sufficient privileges or that your app needs no special privileges. You mentioned you tried to run it from
bin\debug but you most likely have your project under your Documents directory. Only you would have permissions to that folder and therefore will run into issues if the task is run under a different context. You also mentioned you put it in the
C:\ but users don't have write privileges to that folder and therefore if you tried to write a file out it would fail. If you need to read/write files then you should pick a common location that all users have access to or at least the one that will run the
scheduled task. Be aware that, by default, Task Scheduler will not run a task elevated. You need to check the option to run elevated when you configure the user to run the task under.
One of the key things to ensure you do with a task is verify it is working properly as a normal app. You should also ensure that you have good logging so that if it does fail you can trace down the failure more easily. One common thing that people
tend to do in console apps is put a try-catch around the main function and display a message if an unhandled exception occurs. This is going to cause problems in a task. Simply log the exception and rethrow it so Task Scheduler will flag the run as a
failure.
If you still cannot figure out why your task is failing then please add some logging and then tell us what code is being run at the time and what the failure is.

INstalling Labview application on vista machine.

As a fairly new programmer, I have written an application, in Labview 8.6, and constructed an installer which works fine on XP but when I try to install it onto a Vista machine, i get an error message as follows:
z:\.....\Volume\setup.exe the parameter is incorrect.
As I say on XP Pro, no problem. Does anyone have any ideas which might help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm glad this works. It might also help to right-click the file on the network drive and select "Run as administrator". I didn't try it when I had the problem.
By the way, you can mark a message as solution if it helped you to resolve the problem
