Is there a .sld file for LabView runtime engine when creating Embedded XP image

I'm looking for a .sld file to aid inclusion of LabView runtime engine in my embedded XP image. Has anyone already written one?

Hi,
unfortunately, National Instruments doesn't have any sld files for embedded OS'es, however, please checkout the links from the Lookout discussion forum, where someone was trying to do something similar.
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RNAME=ViewQuestion&HOID=506500000008000000AD5C0000&ECategory=Lookout
Although there's no definitive resolution to this thread, the person who answered has said he could be contacted.
Hope that helps

LabVIEW Runtime engine on Windows Embedded Standard 7 P 32/64 bit?

Did anyone ever try to install and run LabVIEW Runtime engine (2011 or later) on Windows Embedded Standard 7 P 32/64 bit?
I am trying to figure out if this will work, for example on a Beckhoff CX5120 embedded PC. I will need to have some simple TCP/IP communication in order to exchange information with another PC, but nothing else, i.e. drivers, etc...
I hope someone tried to do this already. I just don't have the right hardware right now to check it out.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As NI sells touch panels with WES7 installed here: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/210551 it's pretty safe to assume they've used the RTE on WES7.
But yes, it's been done.

Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine

Hi,
i have an issue with using a LabVIEW interop assembly in a .NET application. I get an exception "Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine" when calling the assembly.
The little test program is attached below. It's called dotNETHost.exe. If you excecute the programm a dialog with an button appears. Clicking the button shall open another dialog (the LabVIEW Interop component). But the only thing I get is the exception message. The ZIP folder also contains the complete exception meassage (ExceptionMessange.jpg & ExceptionDetails.txt).
The Interop Assembly was built with LabVIEW 2011. We use Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.. The dotNETHost.exe.config file is prepared as mentioned in Knowledge base - Loading .NET 4.0 assemblies.
The Interop assembly contains only one simple dialog (loop is finished by clicking OK) without calling any other VIs or other DLL's. In case of this there's also no support directory generated by the build process.
I have no idea why it doesn' work. I hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance
Kay

This may be unrelated, but Labview and .Net4.0 dont work well together. Not yet anyway. I had to compile my assembly in 3.5 to get it to work.

Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6? The latest motion driver seems to be 7.6 and it only support up to LabVIEW 8.5...

If you buy LabVIEW 8.6, you will also get 2008 August Driver CD.
NI-Motion 7.7 driver should be included in it.
Or you can wait for a while.
I guess NI will put on Web these days.

Do I need "nilm.exe" file for labview to run properly?

I have some problems with the "nilm.exe". Sometime it create a lot of other file in Windows tak manager and it lock completely my computer. Do I need "nilm.exe" file for labview to run properly? Can I remove it from my computer ?
thanks in advance for your reply

NILM.EXE is the NI License Manager for Remote Panels. If not using Remote Panels then you do not need to use NILM.EXE. The following webpage shows how to disable nilm.exe:

LabVIEW Runtime Engine 2010 NI_AALPro Error

Hi All,
I have an problem with the executable version of my LabVIEW program. I just created an LabVIEW program in LabVIEW Professional 2010 version to acquire some FFT spectrums so it also use some function palettes of Sound and Vibrations toolkit like Power Spectrum, Peak Search, Power in Band etc.
Then I just created an executable version of the program to run on a different system (Tools>>Build Executable Verion(EXE)). But when I tried to run the executable verion on a different system is showed some errors. I am attaching a printscreen of all errors showed.
So, the executable version of the program is working fine in the develoment system but showed some errors when we try to run it on a different system. We have already installed the LabVIEW runtime engine 2010 as well in the second system.
My one more question is when we build an executable version of a LabVIEW program then it should run on all PC without any other software (Runtime engine) because it got an extension of .exe
so is there any chance or way to build a totally standalone executable version of the program without using any runtime engine as well.
Thanks

Hi PSBRRR,
It seems like you didn't include all the dependencies of your VI or project to your build specification. Can you send a screenshot of the Source Files Setting page of the Application Properties dialog box ? You have to add all the VIs and DLLs that are used in the Sound & Vibration toolkit and any others you are using to your executable file or support directory.
For the last question : no you can't. Since LabVIEW 2010, the Run-Time Engine is like the "Java Virtual Machine". The compiled code inside your EXE is interpreted by the "LabVIEW Virtual Machine" included in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. That's why it requires the Run-Time Engine to be executed or at least the development environment (previous versions of LabVIEW didn't use this principle but it was also required to have the Run-Time Engine installed).

Da Helmut

Labview runtime engine [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm a new Arch user having migrated from Ubuntu a few weeks ago. I've been stuck for several days trying to get the National Instruments Labview runtime engine installed. It is an easy process on Ubuntu so it must be possible with Arch. I'd prefer not to operate outside of pacman (ie. installing with rpm or dpkg) based on what I've read in the forums.
The Labview runtime engine is a free download from National Instruments and allows programs that are generated by the Labview developer package (expensive) to be run on any box without having the licensed Labview software installed. This is handled with two .rpm files that one downloads from the NI website after registering there. You must download the .rpm files appropriate for the version of Labview that generated your executable. (Note that executables generated by Windows Labview and Linux Labview are not interchangeable) For reference, those files can be found here:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1103/lang/en
For Ubuntu, I converted the .rpm files to .deb using alien and installed them with dpkg. The Labview executables can then be run by opening them in the file manager. As a first step in Arch, I unbundled the .rpm files using rpmextract and found that they are just a bunch of library files placed in usr sub-directories. I then wrote the following naive PKGBUILD followed by makepkg -s.
pkgname=lvtest
pkgver=1
pkgrel=1
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('rpmextract')
source=("labview86-rte-8.6.0-1.i386.rpm"
"labview-rte-aal-1.1-1.i386.rpm")
md5sums=('37b43da794fd9c61d0c5e3c9cfa56628'
'a2110e5b5677351095bd93e5b1aa5bea')
build() {
cd ${srcdir}
rpmextract.sh labview-rte-aal-1.1-1.i386.rpm
rpmextract.sh labview86-rte-8.6.0-1.i386.rpm
cp -ra ${srcdir}/usr $pkgdir/
This generates a pkg.tar.xz that I install with pacman -U. My problem is that the Labview executables are not being recognized, ie. I don't know how to open them. I suspect this has something to do with permissions or perhaps linking that I sometimes see in other PKGBUILD files, but I don't know how to proceed. I am brand new at this, but have spent a lot of time searching the wiki and forums looking for hints and guidance.

What is needed to run a .llb file using a runtime engine?

I would like to run a .llb file on a computer that doesn't have LabVIEW installed. Is that possible? If so, what is needed to do that? I have tried to install a runtime engine, but can't get it to work. The .llb file is currently running on LabVIEW version 6.0 on another computer, but I don't know with what version of LabVIEW the .llb file was created. The computer on which I would like to run the .llb file has Windows XP.
Thank you for any help!

The user has LabVIEW 6 (as he noted in the original message). LabVIEW 6 has no project explorer.
To OP: I am assuming the LLB contains a top-level VI that can be run. Otherwise, this is a moot question. If you want to open the VI and view it, then you need the development version on the target machine. If you want to run the top-level VI in the LLB then you must create an application that you can copy over to the other computer. The other computer requires the LabVIEW Runtime Engine in order to run the executable. To build the application you need the Application Builder. This is a separate product from LabVIEW, but was included with certain LabVIEW editions.. If you do not see a menu option for building the application then you do not have the Application Builder. You would need to contact your local NI sales office to see if you can still buy a copy. I doubt you will be able to, but it's worth a try.

Running Datasocket in labview 2013 open labview runtime engine 7.0

Hello All,
I am trying to communicate with a COGNEX camera using Labview 2013. I am using Datasocket to read tags from cognex OPC server.
but when I open labview and run the code for the first time. An installer will automatically pop up trying to install labview runtime engine 7.0.
When i cancel the installation datasocket throws an error. Again if i run second time, datasocket works fine and communicate with cognex camera using OPC.
This problem comes everytime I open labview and run the datasocket. I cancel the installer. second time onwards when i run the code everything works fine.
This is actually annoying and i doubt how things will work when i make an executable.
Need help.
Is this due to datasocket version installed... how to resolve this.

Hi phil,
That is interesting that you were unable to find the offending key that the installation is having trouble with. Do you have Administrator privileges on your computer? You may even want to try to log in as the actual Administrator itself to make sure that you have access to all of the proper registry keys. Also, I was going to say that I do think you're right with Windows XP not having the Scanreg/fix function, but there are several free programs that you can download as registry checkers. You may want to try one of those to see if you can find the key and give it the proper permission.
As far as the other part of your question, the Run-Time Engines are very important for LabVIEW to be able to run, but the 7.1.1 Run-Time Engine should not be affecting a LabVIEW 8.2 installation as it will use the 8.2 Run-Time Engine. One thing that you can do is go into your Control Panel under Add or Remove Programs>>National Instruments Software and you can try and repair/modify your Run-Time Engine there. If you already have the 7.1.1 Run-Time Engine on your computer, this is where it will show up so you can make any changes you want. Also, if you go to www.ni.com and click on "Drivers and Updates" on the right, you will be able to find the Run-Time Engine there that you will need, but I would definitely try using a downloadable registry checker first before attempting to change any of the software that is currently on your computer. As stated in the Knowledgebase article, this is actually an error from Windows saying that the registry key does not have the proper permission settings, so I am reluctant to say that downloading the new Run-Time Engine from our website will help much. Please try some of these suggestions out and let me know how they work out for you. Thanks!

Labview trying to find runtime engine when opening up VB6

This is bizarre. I'm not even trying to open a labview program, and I get this error.
when I go to open up VB6 from Visual Studio (Visual Studio 6, Enterprise Edition), I get a pop-up saying that the Labview runtime engine 7.1.1 is going to be configured. A new window then pops up, because it can't find the lvruntimeeng.msi file.
Problem is, I'm using Labview 8.2.
Worse, now my VB6 programs are hanging if I close out of all the installer boxes (it does this multiple times).
UPDATE-4:42PM EST-
I noticed when I went into Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, when I clicked on Change for National Instruments, it says that only the 7.1.1 Runtime Engine is installed. However, I can not uninstall it because another product relied on it. I also downloaded the 7.1.1 runtime engine, but it doesn't install because it says a higher version is already installed. (?)Message Edited by Dauntless on 12-26-2006 03:46 PM

There are some NI programs which were written in LabVIEW and so need the LV RTE in order to run.
Theoretically, the RTE should be properly installed when these programs are installed, but for some reason maybe it wasn't. Maybe one of the NI services running on your machine tries to do something when you're opening VB or maybe your code calls some NI component?
I used to have something similar where for some reason going into certain websites prompted me to insert the LV 7.1 CD so that I can configure the RTE. I think it stopped after doing it one time.
You can try downloading the 7.1 RTE and installing it to see if it will stop. If not, you can try pointing the dialog at the MSI once to see if that will stop it.
Try to take over the world!

Trouble installing labview runtime engine

Can not install labview runtime engine. Says there is already a higher version installed.

Yes, this is a pain - and I have no idea why NI would design their installers in this way. I can think of no rational reason. In any case, the work around is to uninstall everything and then reinstall in a different order. For example, I ran into the problem was trying to install a runtime executable on a machine that already has some NI drivers installed. Part of that installation was that it installed the V7.1 runtime engine. When I then went to install my executable which was built in V7.0 it wouldn't install. To get around this bug I had to uninstall all NI software and then reinstall my executable and then the drivers, in that order.

Profibus-Connection with NI LabVIEW Runtime-engine

Hi,
I have a Profibus network running in our porduction lane.
Now we want to report several states of this production continously.
Therefore I want to connect a desktop-pc via profibus to the PLC. But I want to run the VI on the PC as an application(exe) with the NI LabVIEW runtime engine because I won´t install LabVIEW on this PC. (on my development computer I have LabVIEW 2011)
My question is:
Does the Profibus communication work if I run the VI that way if I add the needed "additional installer" to my installer file?
I´m quite sure that it will work but I want to check this point before ordering a Profibus-Board.
I hope you understand my question and give me a positive answer so I can order an new Profibus-PCI-Board
best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
the scenario you are describing sounds reasonable and that should work.
But in general, if you buy something at NI you can always call and describe your situation. Either the sales person can help you with your decision or in more complicated cases the sales person redirects you to a support engineer.
Best regards,

We have just recently acquired a macBook Pro and am trying to test some instrumentation modules we have previously developed online for Circuit Theory courses on the MAc platform.
These VI's are installed on lab view server and we have no difficulty accessing them in Windows XP or Vista from a browser either Firefox or IE. Of course the latest version of runtime engine is installed on the pc prior to accessing the vi using remote panel and secondly we have to disable any virus protection software.
I have also installed the 8.5 version of LV runtime engine on the macbook with Leopard 10.5.x OS. I can see the LV plugin with the proper version in the Installed plug in check for the Safari browser. But every time the Remote panel is accessed I get a missing plugin message.
Here is the message:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page “Blackboard Academic Suite” has content of MIME type “application/x-labviewrpvi82”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/express?openagent&code=exck2m&
Do you want to open the page?
The page it suggests is the NI site for the plugin download?
I am really in a corner and donot know what I am doing is wrong? Any help will be appreciated?

I'm not a Mac expert, but it sounds like you are missing the LabVIEW Browser Plugin which is necessary to view remote front panels. That plugin installs with the LabVIEW runtime engine which you can find here. I don't think Safari requires any extra configuration to work with the plugin but it might... let us know if installing the runtime engine doesn't resolve the problem.

Is there a .sld file for LabView runtime engine when creating Embedded XP image
