Installing only Run Time Components

We have recently purchased the Oracle IDS 6i suite. In the On Line Manual for Forms & Reports 6i,it is stated that to install the Run Time Components only one has to use the Custom Option and then select Runtime Components. However when we try this out we do find the Runtime Components option in the Software Asset Manager.
Could somebody tell me where these components are located are they in some other CD.
Thanks
R. Nair

Joseph is correct. The run-time engine is only for "stand-alone" executables created with the Application Builder (included in the Professional version or higher, or can be purchased separately if you have the Base package). To run a vi in the development environment, you need one of the LabView packages.

How to Install crystal run time programs with out designer.

Can anyone suggest me how to install crystal run time program with out installing entire designer software.
Is it coming along with CR software package, which we have to do custom install or is it coming as a different package.
Currently my client is using only the run time programs to trigger crystal report from VB app but developers have installed entire software for development. We need to figure out how this install can be done, as it was done long time before and folks who have done it left the company.
Any suggestion on this would be of great help to me.

Installing LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.5.1

I want to run saved VI's from one computer with LabVIEW 8.5 Professional Development (8.5) on another computer using the Run-Time Software.
After installing LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.5 (LabVIEW85RuntimeEngineFull.exe from http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/861/lang/en), do I need to do anything else before running a saved VI created in LabVIEW 8.5 from another computer? I install the program, but the only options under programs-national instruments are:
-data socket
-License Manager
When I installed LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.1 on the same computer there was an shortcut under "programs-national instruments-" to LabVIEW DSC Run-Time System 7.1, which is what I need but for the Run-Time Engine 8.5 instead.

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

How to install Vision run-time engine to a desktop PC converted to real-time target

Hi, all
I don't know how can I install the vision run-time engine to a desktop PC which I converted to a real-time target. The same problem applies to installing real-time run-time engine and labview run-time engine to the real-time target. The only way to install software to real-time target is through "add/remove software" in MAX for remote system, but it is not for all types of run-time engine installation.
I am also confused about how to activate those run-time engines for the desktop PC as real-time target.
Please help and great thanks.
Wei

Hi turtle,
Here is a link that explains how to set up a desktop PC as a real-time target. The section for Formatting & Setup should help you the most.

How to prevent prompt to install CVI Run-Time Engine?

The LabVIEW laptop for my client got messed up, so I spent several hours making it forget everything it ever knew about NI software. I started by uninstalling all NI applications, then manually deleted all the folders that the uninstaller leaves behind, then ran a couple of registry cleaners to sweep out as much NI as possible, and finally ran regedit to see what was left. In the end there were only some legacy drivers that regedit would not let me delete.
Then I installed 8.6.1 from DVD, carefully selecting only the options we needed; LabVIEW core, cRIO, FPGA, PID, and the minimum set of drivers the installer would let me get away with. Note that no Labwindows/CVI option boxes were checked. When the installation was complete, I rebooted the machine and launched LabVIEW, which immediately prompted me to install the LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 (not 8.6.1) Run-Time Engine. I dutifully fed it my 8.6.1 DVD, which caused LabVIEW to crash. After 3 reboot/retry cycles with the same result, I decided to appeal to the forum for help.
What is causing LabVIEW to think I need the CVI Run-Time Engine (and a down-rev version, at that), and how do I convince LabVIEW that I do not?
Jeff

Thanks for the reply! OK, so LabVIEW needs the CVI RTE even though I'm not using any CVI features. I can live with that. I downloaded LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine 8.5 from the NI web site and tried to install it. After I confirmed that I accepted whatever that license agreement says, the installer told me that "No software will be installed or removed."
Then I opened LabVIEW, and it went through the same "The feature you are trying to use..." popup and tried to install the CVI RTE. The installation failed as usual, and LabVIEW crashed.
A few minutes ago I found and ran CVTRTE.msi on the 8.6.1 distribution DVD. I selected the "repair" option, which completed successfully. After rebooting, I launched LabVIEW only to be greeted with the now-hated NI LabWindows/CVI 8.5.1 Run-Time Engine installer.
The part of this that is so infuriating is that there appears to be no way for anyone to make a computer forget everything NI so you can start with a clean slate.

BIP Desktop Install Problem: Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range

Hi All,
I am trying to get my BIP Desktop to work. I have notice previous threads regarding the internet explorer security patches affecting BIP Desktop and my problem is similar. Here is my problem:
1. I installed BIP Desktop 5.7.146.
2. I start Template Builder for Word Language by selecting Start>Programs>Oracle BI Publisher Desktop.
3. A dialog box prompts for UI Language and I select English
In the midst of the Template Builder for Word Language attempting to initiate/change the user interface language to English, it throws the following error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range
Here are some details regarding my PC:
XP sp2, MSXML6, jre1.5.0_15
Also, my CPU performance hits it maximum while I am doing this
Any thoughts on how to correct this?
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick,
Were you able to find a solution to this problem?
One of my colleagues is having the same issue.

You may not need to install the Run Time Engine...

I know this has been mentioned before, but after a long search of the archives, I couldn't find the right person to give credit to - sorry!
If you have a simple exe, you may not need to install the runtime engine on the target machine at all - all you need to do is include some of the engine's files with the exe for it to work. Try it out: copy the following files & folders into the folder containing your exe:
..\National Instruments\shared\nicontdt.dll
..\National Instruments\shared\nicont.dll
..\National Instruments\shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\your_version\everything (including all sub-directories)
so, using 6.1 as an example, you exe's directory would like something like:
..\AppDirectory\MyApp.exe
..\AppDirectory\MyApp.ini
..\AppDirectory\My_Apps_DLLs,if_any
..\AppDirectory\nicontdt.dll
..\AppDirectory\nicont.dll
..\AppDirectory\lvapp.rsc
..\AppDirectory\lvjpeg.dll
..\AppDirectory\lvpng.dll
..\AppDirectory\lvrt.dll
..\AppDirectory\mesa.dll
..\AppDirectory\serpdrv
..\AppDirectory\models\heaps_of_stuff_in_here
..\AppDirectory\errors\more_stuff_in_here
..\AppDirectory\script\and_some_bits_in_here_too
Take all of this data to a machine without LabVIEW or the runtime installed, and try to run the exe - all going well, it will execute without any problems. This exe distribution method can be really useful, especially when distributing autorun presentations on CD-ROMs.

Yes, this method is not supported. However, this method is good if you wish to write your own installer for a LabVIEW Application. (Note: The method above does not install DataSocket, NI-Reports, or any of the 3D Graph controls.)
I would still suggest running the LabVIEW Run-time Engine installer so that more than one application can use it.

Installing the run-time engine as a non-administrator

I want to distribute a stand-alone application to end-users that are not administrator of their computer. When they try to install the RTE without administrator privileges, the installer cannot continue because it cannot write to the C:\ base directory. How can I fix the run-time engine installer to work without administrator privileges?

On the second screen of the installer, the user can choose an alternative target location. Have you tried that?
(sorry, I don't know how well this will work). What is the runtime version?
(For your reference, this document describes planned changes in the folder structure for future LabVIEW versions.)

Path where to install the run time engine (on Linux)

I have a cluster of Linux computers where I would like to run compiled LABview (8.20 at the moment) applications build
with the application builder.
Therefore I would like to install the LABview run time engine on a NFS mount file system seen from each computer. But
the installation procedure of the run time engine does not propose to
choise the installation directory, but force the installation
in /usr/local/lib.
I try to workaround this problem and have copied the /usr/local/lib/LABview.8.2 directory to my NFS filesystem and
made the 'necessary' links.
Unfortunatly it doesn't run and fails because the
liblvrt.so.8.2 library can not access patched versions of the
libOSMesa.so.4
and libGL.so.1 librairies but uses the standard ones in /usr/X11R6/lib.
Even by setting my LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly to access the patched librairies versions it does not run because the
liblvrt8.2 library seems to be linked with the following
'rpath' (given by the command 'strings liblvrt.so.8.2 |
grep patchlib')
$ORIGIN/LabVIEW-8.2/patchlib:$ORIGIN/patchlib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib:$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/LabVIEW-8.2/linux:$ORIGIN/linux:$ORIGIN/resource
which prevents to access the patched librairies versions if the $ORIGIN is not set. Therefore I tried to set $ORIGIN as an
environment variable but it doesn't change anything.
Therefore my question is: Did somebody have already had this type of problem, what is $ORIGIN and how I can set it ?
Thanks in advance.

Sir,
Please could tell me the distribution you use ?

Installing VISA run-time with distribution

Is there a way to seamlessly (transparent to the end-user) integrate the VISA run-time engine installation into an installation of a Labview app created with App Builder?
I am trying to avoid the user having to run two different install programs (the app install and the VISA install).
I am doing some serial port communications, using the VISA VI's in my app. Also, does VISA need to be configured beforehand, or can I just load a customized 'visaconf.ini' file with the serial ports aliases?
Thanks.

Hi,
There isn't a way to automatically include the VISA installer on the LabVIEW app installer. You can use some batch files to make the LabVIEW app installer execute other installers.
The following knowledge base gives some suggestions and points some of the problems you might encounter when using the LabVIEW 6.1 App Builder.

Windows tries to install Labview Run-Time Engine 7.0...

I recently installed an application that installed Labview CVI Runtime engine. Anyway, ever since that time, everytime I start Labview, Windows tries to install Labview Runtime engine 7.0. It asks for a lvruntimeeng.msi file. I tried pointing it to one that I had on my system, but I think it was not version 7.0 because I got a message saying it was invalid. Anyway, I don't know why it's doing this to me, but I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm just trying to give it what it is asking for. I've searched the net for lvruntimeeng.msi files, but everytime I point it to such a file, Windows says it's invalid. I've only found a .exe file for version 7.0. Has anybody ever run across this problem. Or....does anybody have NI Labview Runtime Engine v7.0 in a .msi file?

I don't know why this is happening. The exe you have is from drivers and updates. Download this file and run it. It is an selfextracting archive which will start the setup for the runtime engine. After you have installed the 7.0 runtime engine in this way LV shouldn't ask about it.
The one thing I can imagine isr that the installed application changed a common component, e. g. Data socket, into an older version. A repair installation of your LV may also help you.

Problem to install the Run-Time Engine 6.0.2 on a Windows XP

Hi,
A client tried to install our application on a new computer with Windows XP Pro. The application was developped on LabVIEW 6i, so he has to install the RTE 6.0.2, like it was on the old Windows 2000 computer.
The installation of this RTE is OK, but it disturbs completely the "Add/Remove Application" windows of the Control Panel (See attachment).
And then our application is very very slow !!!
Our client installed then the Service Pack 2 for XP, that didn't change anything.
Is there a possibility to use correctly a LabVIEW 6i-application on a Windows XP SP1 or SP2 ?
Now the client is thinking to transfer directly this application on a Windows 2003 server, is it possible ? Is there a already known problem to do it ?
The application is used to do the monitoring of geological movements and is therefore very sensitive and should run fine, without any trouble !!! We can't be unsure !
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Gerald Monin

Hi,
Regarding the blank space in the add/remove programs list, please look at the following link
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/9D43413E0F8289B586256DD50072EDFB?OpenDocument
Regarding the slow execution, I would suggest to upgrade the LV environment to 6.0.2 as well and create an installer with the RTE included to be sure to have the right version installed on the target machine. If not, then please give more info's about what is executing slower (the hole application, acessing HW,ports...).
Porting the application to windows server 2003 is not the best idea, because LV in general is not supporting it and lv 6i is released a long time before windows 2003 server was. But i know a lot of people which are using lv 7.1 on windows server 2003 successfuly.
I hope it helps!

What files get installed where when I install LabVIEW run-time?

Hey all,
I am unable to run any installer on my current computer. As a possible solution, could I run the installer on another machine, save the installed files to a USB drive, and then move them to the respective locations on my current computer without running an installer?
If this is possible, what specific files should I look for regarding the LabVIEW Runtime, and in what locations should I put them?
Thanks for any help that you can provide me!
Justin

Hi JustinJames.
As ramses64 said, this process is practically impossible. The installer even for just the runtime engine of LabVIEW does a bit more than just copying files/executables to certain locations. That being said, it will undoubtedly be far easier to solve the problem you are experiencing with installing the software on the first system. Can you please elaborate as to what is happening? Are you seeing any errors? Are there codes associated? At what point do you see these errors? The more details you can provide, the better we will be able to provide advice with the matter.
Regards.
