LabVIEW 2012 SP1 takes ages to install

Just wondering - why on earth should the SP1 patch to LV2012 take 45 minutes to install on a 2.8 Ghz multi core PC with 8 GB ram ?
I get a feeling that I am saddled with quite a massive amount of unwanted universal stuff - like the zillion printer drivers that install with a Windows OS - just so that it can be called plug and play !
Gone are the days when programs used to come in minimum foot print code ;-)

I'm sure this post was just a rant to vent some frustration, but I'm going to take it at face value, hoping this doesn't annoy you.
LabVIEW has always taken a long time to install. I remember having the task of installing the new fangled LabVIEW 6.1 on our machine and mass compile our reuse library. I was told it would likely take a couple days. I was pleased when I did it in one day. The install took many hours and I think it was done around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. This was without any toolkits or add-ons just LabVIEW and the Device Drivers. Then I set it up to mass compile our library and I'm unsure how long into the night it took but it was done by morning.
I've gotten good a streamlining the process of setting up a development environment. When a new set of developer suite DVDs come in I combine them so it doesn't prompt me to swap disks during the install. I do still get prompted for the Device Drivers after the Developer Suite is installed. Then I have a VI Package Configuration in Package Manager which install all internal/external reuse, add quick drop shortcuts, templates, LabVIEW.INI settings, and other settings with just a single prompt at the start.
It isn't fast by any means, but I'd guess I can go from a fresh Window image to having a PC setup, including a SVN repository checkout in 3 hours or so.
Oh but I do appreciate a minimal footprint program. I heard Doom was originally written in assembly. And that the full binary of Doom 1 takes up less space on disk, than a save file of Doom 3. Also .kkrieger blew my mind when I first saw it in 2004.

Vlm 3.0 LabVIEW 2012 SP1 disabled in Installer

Hello folks,
i have a Problem with die build Installer with my new updatet vlm 3.0.
I already get the the new license file for vlm 3.0 and installed it, then i made the installer for
LabVIEW 2012 SP1 like i have done it with the previous versions of LabVIEW 2009 2010 2011
In the produkt list of the installer LabVIEW and the DriverDVD is disabled by default (see Screenshot).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today i was looking on the server and i have seen that the licenses are LabVIEW 2012 licenses.
I want to install LabVIEW 2012 SP1.
So that's normal, i think i have to wait until i get the new license file for the new version.
Thanks BRennhofer for this idea.
I will report here.

Labview 2012 sp1 Linux No Help ?

Hi all, my help is not working in Labview 2012 sp1 (Linux edition).
I keep reading that i need to change a .lvbrowser file, but this file does not exist anywhere on my system ( i have searched everywhere). When i first selected help it asked me to select a browser ( i chose firefox), but now when i click help nothing happens...
Any ideas?

Hi,
It sounds like the help file may not have been installed whenever you installed LabVIEW. I would try reinstalling and be sure to install any help file listed in the command prompts.

Force LabView 2012 SP1 f4 patch installation

Hi,
it was necessary to repair my LabView 2012 SP1 installation. When I start LV now
it has the version 12.0.1. I had installed also f4-Patch. When I try to install the f4 patch
now after my repair installation it doesn't work.
How can i force the installation of LV2012 SP1 f4 patch?
Regards

Hi Chris,
no, i don't get any error message. The installer told me only "nothing to update" as text message
inside of the installer window.
1. i have had installed LV 2012 SP1 f4
2. than LabView crashed sometimes
3. than i made a repair installation of LabView 2012 SP1 (from DVD)
4. tried to install the f4 Patch afterwards (as download and via update service, tried both)
I don't know where the patch setup gets it's information about
the installed LV 2012 version, but it seems that a repair installation
doesn't reset that information and let that info still on patch level f4.
However, i deinstalled all developer editions and removed everything from
NI and reinstalled my developer editions. That was, for me, the only way
to get my LabView back on patch level f4.
I didn't find any setup switch to force the installation (the info was shown with "/?" as parameter)

Can I get MJD (date and time) in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?

I need to time stamp my data before sending it to the file. I have been doing this with the standard calendar date and time but MJD is what we prefer to use. How can I get an MJD timestamp in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brad_Henry,
The Format Date/Time String will return the day of the year when the %j argument is used, as per this help document:
LabVIEW Help: Format Codes for the Time Format String
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/codes_for_time_format_str/
If you're looking for the actual MJD, I'm not aware of a built-in function that generates this so you'll probably need to create or find a function to calculate it manually. This should pretty basic arithmetic, and it looks like people have already made a few public examples, the first two search results here look to be just about what you need:

Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H driver issue with Labview 2012 SP1 on Windows 7 x64

Is anyone else having issues with measuremetn Computing's USB-DIO96H driver in Labview 2012 SP1. It throws warnings in Labview when loaded that are unresolvable as you can't save to the DLL driver file. Also it regularily crashes Labview randomly. I am not impressed with their driver. Anyone have any suggestion other than replacing with NI-DAQ solution, which I am working on?

I've taken a look and I don't see any drivers available for that device on ni.com. There are two potential workarounds that would both involve building your own driver:
1. Write a LabVIEW application that calls functions on the DLL you downloaded from Measurements Group
2. Write a LabVIEW application that addresses the device using NI-VISA and serial communication.
Some resources if you choose to go down that path:

LabVIEW 2012 SP1?

Is there a plan when or if LV2012 SP1 should be released?
Labview 2012 f5patch was released on 2013-01-05.
Labview 2013Beta was announced for one week.
Labview 2011 SP1 was released in December 2011.
I expected 2012SP1 in December2012 or January 2013. We are now February 2013 and I cannot find it...
Will 2012SP be skipped?

I had an application working fine withe LV 8.5 FDS
I migrated to LV 2012 PDS yesteardy in since that time at any restart of the PC , when I lanch my appplication I get a message of the installer and then an error otf the MIcrosoft Installer
As you can see in the attached word file, the window event log tell that cwdss.exe.manifest does not exist
It is the case , but I llok to another thread of ni.com called

LabVIEW 2012 SP1, Can't get correct mechanical action on boolean buttons

I am trying to use boolean buttons and events to programatically change the properties of a graph. I basically want to click a button on the FP, and have the graph change the desired property. All the property changing is fine, but I am really struggling with the mechanical action of the buttons.
I'll preface this by apologizing that I cannot post my code, as the computers with LV installed are isolated. My code is basically OK buttons, a while loop, and an event structure with a value change event for each button.
I want the user to click and release the button. After the click and release, I want the button to be in the same state it started, and I want the value change event to only trigger once. Sounds to me like I want the Latch When Released mechanical action. The problem is that this isn't working. I cannot create buttons that behave like this. None of the 6 mechanical actions exhibit the desired behavior.
To make matters worse, I have two OK buttons both set to Latch when released. Both buttons are True before the click. One button behaves as intended (button is true again after the click and release) and the other button doesn't switch back. I tried to copy the correctly working button, but still the copied button does not work the same as the original. Both buttons fire a single value change event, dispite behaving differently.
To answer the question "Where did I get the working button from?" A while back I made a simple button test vi that tested all 6 of the mechanical actions and kept track of how many times they fired a value change event for a single click. My buttons worked when I made this vi...eventually, i remember having trouble with this back then too. The results of that trouble had me using switch until released buttons with mouse down events for a long time, until I got the button test VI working properly and learned how buttons actually work. But now buttons are being funny again. I tried to copy working Latch when released button into my current program, but for some reason only one of the two copied buttons work as intended, despite them being copies of the same button.
Is there some bug in LV2012 SP1 (64 bit) where mechanical actions don't work consistently? Am I just being dumb? I'm sorry I can't post the code. I have this issue on both Windows 7 and Linux.
A bit more info, as I wanted to make sure I tried eveyrthing before posting. I tried to make a new button test VI. The old one still works, but I cannot get the buttons in the new button test vi to behave the same as in the old one I made. In the new one, Latch when pressed behaves the same as switch when pressed, and latch when relased behaves the same as switch when released. Switch until released and latch until released behave slightly differently. They both fire two value change events, but SuR actually switches twice (there and back again), where LuR just switches state once but still fires two value change events anyway. I have checked to make sure the mechanical actions are set properly at least a dozen times.
Pretty confused over here. My old button test vi works as I expect it to, and the Latch when released button works like I want, but I can't for the life of me reproduce it.

To Bob_Schor
I realize the folly of mouse down events, and I'm trying to move away from them. I originally started using them because I couldn't get the desired button behavior out of value change events and any other mechanical action.
I use LabVIEW 64 bit because I was hitting the RAM limits with the 32 bit version. I hit the limit when I try to plot a great deal of data in 3D, which I do fairly often. I get away with this because I don't interface with any equipment or use any of the specialized modules, but maybe I should consider only using 64 when it's absolutely necesary and get 32 bit on there as well. But I have the same issue on Linux, which only has a 32 bit labview version (still 2012 SP1)
There is only one event structure in the program. I have two buttons because I'm just using them to fire two separate events. My current situation is that I am plotting 9 plots on a single graph. One of these buttons is a "check all" button for the visibility check boxes. I click the check all button, and all 9 plots become visible. The other button is an "Uncheck all" button, which does the opposite.
That's for my current program. I also have a button test vi which has 6 boolean buttons, each set to a different mechanical action. A single event stucture in a while loop has a value change event for each button. I made this so that I could see for myself how the buttons worked (i.e. I see that the switch when released mechanical action produced two value change events.). I have an old version of this program which works as I expect it to. This morning I tried to remake it (it's very simple) and it does not behave the same, despite the block diagram being pretty much identical. I described the differences in the OP.
I can reporduce the behavior on a second computer that is restricted. Which is 32 bit labview for Linux. I don't have an unrestricted machine with LabVIEW installed. If I did, I would have tried to rebuild my button test VI (again) to see if it works.
At it's most basic, create an OK button on the FP and set in the True state. It defaults to the Latch when released mechanical action. Throw an event structure in a while loop. Give the ES a value change event for the button. In this even just increment some counter to indicate how many times the value change has been triggered. I did this using a shift register. Run it. For me, when I click the Latch when released button it fires one value change event and doesn't reset to true when after the click. I can change the mechanical action of the button, and none of the 6 give me what I want.
So my issue just boils down to Latch when released not behaving properly.
In my original button test vi (which was this with 5 more buttons and 5 more value change events in the ES), the latch when released button DOES reset to true after my click. Copy and pasting this button creates a new button which does not behave the same way, despite still being set to latch when released.
My problem is not so much with the events, but the behavior of the button. Am I correct that Latch when released is what I want? A single click, and the button fires one VC event and returns to the same state before the click?

SCOM 2012 SP1 is failing to install - SQL not compatible

I'm getting an error when installing SCOM 2012 SP1 stating the SQL is not supported. I have seen a few posts on the forum about this error message but so far none of the resolutions resolved my issue.
Using named instance on port 2433. Entering SQL\instance and port 2433 yields same message as seen in another post:
"The installed version of SQL server is not supported. Verify that the computer and installed version of SQL Server meet the minimum requirements for installation. Please see the Supported Configurations document for further information."

policy to 'EnableFirewall' is 0. The firewall service is disabled on both machines.
I am running the installation as a domain service account - for the DAA. It has local admin on the SQL and SCOM server. It has sysadmin DB access to the instance.

SQL Server:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Glad to hear the issue has been resolved. Thanks for the update.

Labview 2012 SP1 f5 halting on Win 6 x64

I am using the latest Labview 2012 x64 SP1 with f5 update and am finding that it halts and forces me to close labview and restart. Anyone else having the issue or knows what might be causing the issue?

I regularly get 2012 SP1 f5 shut-downs but these tend to only occur when I am working on a project with a nested LVOOP hierachy and I'm making changes to that hierachy.
I don't know what activities you are doing that cause the re-start but it might help to know what you are working on when it happens; or post your LV internal error report to NI (I assume NIER is doing it's job).

SCCM 2012 SP1 drivers are not installed

Hi
I've the problem that drivers are not installed by PXE staging. I'm 100% sure I've the correct drivers. I've installed them over a pendrive without any problem but, SCCM doesn't install any driver, also I receive no error message. I see that the drivers
are downloaded during the staging process but after the driver installation step nothing is installed. I have this problem on all hardware types and devices. It's ever the same. The task sequenze is also correct. We checked that again and again.
First I loaded the whole driver package (including all drivers for this hardware tag) => dosen't work.
Have deleted all drivers and assigend just the exact network driver to the categorie ==> dosen't work.
Had also an SCCM specialist in the house which analyzed this issue but, he also cannot explain what could be the reason. He has never seen such a problem and he has installed a lot of SCCM2012 environments.
Has anyone an idea or maybe similar problems?
Thank you!

Hello Andre,
I got now an answer from Microsoft. It really seems like the setup installation is no longer supported for Windows 7 like Thomas said.
The better formulation in the WhatsNew in SP1 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591552.aspx#BKMK_WhatsNewSP1_Software) would be:
The build and capture task sequence was updated to apply an operating system image instead of running Setup.exe for installation. You can only
still run Setup.exe for Windows 8 deployments by editing the task sequence in the task sequence editor.
First I thought this would be a joke but seems so. I was able to very that it will work if you use an image. With the image all drivers were installed and the task sequence ended without any error.
I loaded the install.wim from the original CD as image install and used the OSDPreserveDriveLetter setting like Thomas said.
I asked Microsoft for an official statement if this install type would be supported by Microsoft or what the recommended way is to create the golden image by using SCCM. At the moment I’m waiting for the final answer. I don’t want to use
unsupported installation methods for my customers.
I will post the answer from Microsoft after I got it.
We all could be happy that we now have Windows 8 and all Company want to install Windows 8 at all systems otherwise we have to wait until we get a supported way. ;.)
regards
Christoph

The attached modification includes a workaround for the ctrl+z bug on the Data Mixer (Not Table). It basically keeps a history of your deleted headers and adds them back in when the user types ctrl+z. Not the most elegant solution, but gives you an example of what you can do to work around it.
You could clean it up by using functional globals instead of shift registers.

Installation of SCOM 2012 R2 with Orchestrator 2012 SP1 already installed

I'm new here and found this set up.
SCOM 2012 SP1 that was mis-installed badly. No DW, no Data Read or write account used. SPN's missing etc. Nothing is working on the SCOM Server. It's not connected to any other parts of System Center.
Orchestrator 2012 SP1 installed and seems to be working fine.
I know that I'm suppose to upgrade Orchestrator to R2 before upgrading SCOM 2012 to R2. But, I need to install SCOM 2012 R2 right now to ensure monitoring is in place. The question I have is can I install a fresh SCOM 2012 R2 and then go back and upgrade
Orchestrator to R2 or do I have to upgrade Orchestrator 2012 to R2 before I install the new SCOM 2012 R2?

Hi Bigredchief,
Yes, it's recommended by Microsoft to update the Orchestrator first and then SCOM.
Look at the diagram between SC components here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13188.system-center-2012-integration-guide.aspx
and for Orchestrator here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13185.system-center-2012-integration-guide-orchestrator.aspx
It’s clear visible from diagrams that SCOM monitors the Orchestrator by Management Pack and Orchestrator is connected to SCOM by Integration pack through Operations Manager SDK connection. The second link as well describes the integration between these 2
components of SC (see #5.3).
You should analyse your System Center components integration, and check if any Orchestrator runbooks communicate to SCOM. In general it will be 2 risk components in such upgrade (SCOM and then Orchestrator) in my opinion - not supported officially by MS
in case of any issues, and stopped working SCOM connected runbooks.
