Keep getting "lvanlys.d​ll is not a valid LabVIEW file"

ugh i feel so bad cause i keep posting questions and it seems like i'm not doing anywork. let me start of by saying i spent the last 3 hours searching the forum and google and continually testing and nothing works
basically i used lv's built in application builder to build a .exe file so i can run the program from any computer. so i successfully compile, install lv 8.0 (was compiled on 8.0) RTE onto computer and try to run and keeps giving me "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file". when i create the exec, lvanlys.dll is automatically put in a support folder so i don't know what the problem is
i've tried moving around lvanlys.dll to diff directories including RTE, adding missing files as dynamic VIs, adding separate files into project instead of lib, and combinations of them none work. reinstalled RTE. one build the errors i got was "to fix this error must use full development version". i don't really understand what that means...i have to install the entire VI instead of just the RTE?
another thing, the computer that this doesn't work on originally had 6.1 installed. i just installed the 8.0 RTE engine over it. i have tried replacing lvanlys.dll and didn't work. tested with couple other computers without 6.1 and it worked fine. computer i am on now has 6.1 and 8.0 and it works fine. so i'm stumped
//EDIT: oh i forgot, a lot of threads say "create a installer". is that just using the application builder builtin to create an exec or what exactly does it mean?

Some questions:
Did you install only the 24MB runtime engine of the 87MB version of RTE 8.0? You need to install the big thing.
Is it possible you are including the 6.1 version of lvanlys.dll instead of 8.0?
In 8.0, Builing an executable and creating an installer is both done on a LabVIEW project.
Building the executable does just that.
If you built an installer, you package everything up for distribution, optionally include the RTE and other support files, etc. Later running the installer, will put  everything in its right location, e.g. the executable in the "program files" hierarchy, a shortcut in the start menu, etc.

  • VI not a resource file. Not a valid labview file

    I had the computer freeze while working on the VI.  Actually, it occurred when I wanted to back up the source code.
    The project opens up,. but I get the message in the attached image (below) when trying to open the VI.
    How do I recover this file?  Is there a backup of all files hidden somewhere?

    Thanks smercurio,
    Yes, I did (still do) have the Auto-Save feature active.   It is set to save every 15 min or every time it is run. I checked the LV Data folder.  It's not there. 
    I found something in the KnowledgeBase which is not good news   http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A154F4BFC8FD9A07862572110073E0B2
    Hopefully, there is a way to undelete any backup..  It didn't ask to recover any files when I started LV.
    "It does this by saving open files at specified intervals and in the event of an irregular shutdown or system faluire, the 'Select Files to Recover' window pops up to display recoverable files the next time LabVIEW is launched. "

  • Installer 8.0 complains about nonexistent files being "not valid LabVIEW files"

    When running the installer, two messages pop up in sequence:
    1. "The file ...\/undo is not a valid LabVIEW file."
    2. "The file ...\/qnm is not a valid LabVIEW file."
    Both files do not exist.
    Additionally, after clicking "OK", each time the application being installed launches and has to be quit before the installer proceeds.
    Any hints are welcome!
    Cheers,
    Harald

    I believe that the actual Labview complaint is that the files "/undo" and "/qnm" are not valid Labview files. (the "V" is actually part of the path, i.e., ...\ /undo without the space between \ and /. In any case, I experienced the same difficulties (including launching ofthe application twice during installation) and pursued it (because this makes for a very unprofessional looking installer to be distributing to my clients). I discovered that, in my case, the error was happening when I did a build which placed the installer in a path that looked like this:
    ...\xxxx Installer\Volume...
    where "xxxx" is the name of my application (i.e., xxxx.exe). When I either changed the build path for the installer to be just:
    ...\Volume... (i.e., eliminated the subdirectory bearing the name of the application)
    or simply removed the "Volume" folder from that path and placed it elsewhere (like on the desktop - again so that the "Volume" folder was not preceeded in the path by a folder bearing the name of the installer) before launching the installer, the errors previously encountered during installation, vanished.

    You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.

  • How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library  i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

    how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library.  i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
    A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
    Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the  leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

    I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook.  The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise.  Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device.  I tried and got the above message.  Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message.  Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook.  iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
    I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
    On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
    change DNS by adding ( + )
    208.67.222.222
    then
    208.67.220.220
    click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

  • Trying to install itunes on win 8.1.  keep getting error apple application support not found.  asks me to uninstall and install itunes.  i tried several times and keep getting same error.

    trying to install itunes on win 8.1.  keep getting error apple application support not found.  asks me to uninstall and install itunes.  i tried several times and keep getting same error.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
