Labview applicatio​n installer-​-installs to windows\sy​stem32 directory

The Labview application installer is always installing my application exe and ini files in the Windows\System32 directory even when another subdirectory is specified during the installation process.  Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Ken

Hi Ken,
That is certainly strange! Have you tried running the installer on more than one PC? Have you tried making a new build specification of the installer?
Please take a screenshot of the "Source Files" section of the build specification for the installer and post it here. That way, we can verify that you have done everything properly.
Best regards,

  • Creating Activation code for LabVIEW Applicatio​n Installer

    Hi,
    How could we create Activation code for LabVIEW Application Exe to restrict use to Single PC using LabVIEW settings/add-ons.
    I think NI should provide in-built feature in Application Builder to generate activation code as required.
    Regards,

    Or just vote for this idea.

  • Labview 2009 SP1 Installer build help needed

    Hello,
    First time posting here.  I have a rather large project that I recently converted from Labview 7.0 to 9.0.  I am able to build an executable and it starts up Ok but I don't know for sure if it works.  Since I couldn't build an installer, I copied the folder containing the .exe onto the targeted machine and installed Labview Run-time Engine 2009 SP1.  The executable then complains that it needs the full development version to work.  I am not too worry about this part at the moment, but if you have any pointers, please go ahead and post them.
    Ok, I have gone through a lot of posts on building and installer but it seems the one post that has something similar to what I experienced didn't get an answer.  Here's the Build Errors from the pop-up dialog:
    CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi >> CDK_InstallerConfiguration_Editor.vi >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_BuildDevPart.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDevPart_SetOtherProperties.vi

    I realize that I should post my project file but I can't do that until tomorrow.  From those 2 errors, can you tell me what the installer builder is looking for?  I have gone through all my dependencies and they look Ok at the moment.
    Thanks for you time.

    Hi Celeb,
    I had to help out on another project and finally only getting back to looking at this issue yesterday.  As you suggested, I went ahead and created a new project and created new build specifications (exe and installer).  I was able to properly build both items but won't be able to check out the executable til later this week.
    I noticed one thing about the project that Labview produced after converting the old *.bld file to a project file.  With the converted project, Labview adds unexpected installer destination folders into WindowsFolder in the Installer/Source Files/Destination View.  I thought I deleted them before but they seem to make it back (kinda hazy about this at this point).  My actual installer folder should only go into the WindowsVolume folder.  Anyway, on the new build spec, since I don't manually add the installer folder into the WindowsFolder, nothing get populated there and the installer is able to build properly.  This might have been the cause of my inability to build an installer with the converted project/build specs.
    I hope NI could add in more details into the build error messages.  As it is, it's really difficult to know why a build failed because there's no details in those messages.
    Thanks again,
    T.

  • Installer Builder - Install applicatio​n installer error, NI Variable Engine 2.6.0

    David,
    I can’t say for certain what’s going on here but I do have a few suggestions before you “recreate the installer for legacy code reasons.” First, I would delete everything from the Build Directory. This may be where the recursive issues are coming from. Lastly, in the My Installer Properties window, I would look at the Source Files and make sure everything is there and check for any broke links.

    Hi FJNI,
    I can't open *.7z files so i don't know what king of error message poped up while trying to install NI 488.2. 
    Is there any previous version of this driver already installed on your computer ? In this case, try to uninstall the driver and run again the 3.1.1 installer.
    Did you download the driver from our website ?

    Could you try running the installer in windows Xp SP3 mode ? you can set this by right clicking on the installer, selecting "proprties menu"  and going to "compatibility" section, Here is what it looks like (on a French windows 7 64 bits).

  • Slow installation from Windows-7 made installer

    Hi 
    I run Labview 2011 on several development machines.
    Recently I tried a newly built installer from a Windows 7 32 Bit professional on an Windows XP-Professional.
    The installation would not even run, but slug (if that words exists) along with lots of disk access many many minutes.
    Alarmed I cross-checked  on the Win7 where it would run smoothly.
    I then made a very simple Hello-World-Project with just a single vi. It showed the same behaviour.
    All Microsoft or NI updates should have been updated by then.
    Has anybody come across a similar problem?
    I'd appreciate a comment.

    Dear Mrs. Tilmann,
    i builded an installer with a little programm and the LabVIEW Runtime. It took 3 minutes to install the Programm (LabVIEW Runtime was allready installed on the computer). The Installation Time depends on the size of your code and the additional Software which you embed in in your installer.
    The installation of the Runtime could take some minutes, because there will be installed several libraries, to run all kinds of LabVIEW programms.
    If you have allready installed the LabVIEW Runtime, the installation should only take some minutes.
    Best regards

  • Installer: Installation requires Windows XP

    Hi,
    when creating an installer with Win XP and LV 2009, I can check the box for requirements: Win 2000 or higher.
    But, when trying to run the setup.exe on a Win 2000 system, the error message: This installation requires Windows XP pops up.
    Any help?
    Thx in advance,

    You should make a verbose log, and test my last tip (also combined with my first tip) here http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Win2000/m-p/1238020#M524213 I do not have any Win2000 systems any more so I can not test it. I suspect it is the installer system itself that require windows XP
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • MSI 975X PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS VISTA

    I have MB MSI-975X PLATINUM v.1 withbios ver 1.3,processor Pentium D940 (3,2GHz/800/2x2MB),2X512MB DDR-2 667MHz,in the beginning when I start the installation on WINDOWS VISTA  the computer is bloked od it is restart.This problem I solved when I put another processor INTEL 541(3,2GHz/800/1MB) whit this processor everthing is ok,but with INTEL 940 it can not be install WINDOWS VISTA .
    I’m asking you for a new superstructure on bios update .

    Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
    Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
    Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
    It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

  • How does one customize the LabView 6.1 installation

    Noticed that LabView 6.1 is an MSI-based installation. But setup.exe has very few optional switches:
    /? or /h - displays help
    /q - silent install, requiring the user to register the first time it's run
    /l - log file, same syntax as MSI
    SpecFile - no further information available
    The silent install (/q) is nice, but it runs a *complete* installation and installs *everything*. And then it requires the user to register the product the first time it's run.
    Does anyone have more info on the SPECFILE parameter (like examples of how the file should be formatted).
    We're mostly interested in:
    - running a custom installation
    - excluding most of the drivers
    - disabling (or not including) the FlexLM service for
    the Remote Console feature
    - including registration information during the install
    - specifying the location of the installation folder and program icons
    - suppressing the reboot
    Most of this is simple to accomplish with a transform (MST) file.
    Are any of these features available with the LabView 6.1 installation?
    Can LabView 6.1 be transformed? If so, which MSI (there are several).
    Thank you, Al

    Now I am trying to run the Net config assistant outside of the installer and configure a 10g listener for the 10g instance using a port different from the 1521 that teh 9i listener is using and it keeps telling me that:
    The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer. You can proceed with the configuration as is but it will not be possible to start the listener until the conflict is resolved...
    I have tried several different ports (the only thing that could be in conflict, I think) and I keep getting the same message..
    HELP!!
    Has anyone out there set up a 9i and 10g installation on Windows using two different listeners, one for the 9i and another for 10g?

    Yes, I have read this other thread you have cited but there is no conclusion - other than maybe by rerunning the install he overcame the issue and never completed the thread. In my case, the initial 10g install failed to run the net config assistant and there never was a 10g listener service created. Also, now I try to run the net config assistant stand alone and it refuses to create a listener service...claims that there is a conflict, even if I try on other than the default port.
    I'm thinking the conflict lies with the fact there is an up and running 9i listener service and yes that listener is active because it is servicing a live production instance.
    Our goal was to install a 10g instance with it's own separate listener, import our schemas and test our app on a 10g database then one day turn the 10g into the production instance.
    Our plan was to avoid endangering the production environment by even trying to service the 9i database with the 10g listener. You cannot use a 9i listener for a 10g database but from what I read in the other thread you have cited, to try to fire up the 10g listener to service the 9i production instance would have resulted in a loss of servicve to the production environment if I experience the same phenomena as the fellow in the other thread.
    Thank you for your time and consideration here...
    I believe I should propose to have a separate server box set up to host this new 10g database. Our overall objective is to keep the production system up and running no matter what.
    In the old days I remember that if too many attempts were made at installing on a Windows platform the registry would get hosed up beyond repair and the only out was to re-image the box and start over with a fresh copy of teh Windows operating system:-)
    Let me know if you have any further suggestions...
    Regards-

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

    The problem with J2EE is the support status of the used JDK. Sun does not support 1.4.2 under Vista/Windows 2008, technically it works.

    Something happened and the installation of Windows 8.1 can't be completed.
    Now apart from this being really annoying could anyone have come up with a less useful message?
    I have tried it several times. I've run the compatibility util and it passes. I've tried the store without logging in, then tried the store with logging in.
    I've tried it in Firefox, tried it in IE.
    Same result every time.

    OK, so I posted 2 days ago about this issue, and I resolved it yesterday.  I essentially performed a "refresh" under Windows 8, which removed a lot of the updates and applications that could be potential issues.
    I then had to go to the Sony website to re-install the latest drivers, SW and driver patches related to my Vaio Duo (I had already updated the firmware and Bios -- necessary to install Windows 8.1--).  I then had to re-install all Windows 8 updates,
    and magically, the Windows 8.1 update started to download when I clicked on it in the Windows Marketplace.  I do not know what was the source of the problem, but the refresh definitely got rid of it.  It is a long process however as a lot has to
    be reinstalled to bring the refreshed system to its full functionality with the latest manufacturer and Microsoft updates for Windows 8.
    I can't see how a non-technical user could perform all these steps to upgrade a recent tablet to Windows 8.1!
    Good luck!

    How to block Software installation in Windows 7 by using Group Policy ?

    Windows Firewall won't block installations. You can use group policy, check out Using Software Restriction Policies to Protect Against Unauthorized Software
    As well, as a security best practice users who should not be allowed to install applications should not be members of the Power Users or Administrators local machine groups. As members only of the Users local machine group they do not have permission to
    install applications.

    Not even in-line with iOS 8 which is poor. Photos from Apple will kill off Revel otherwise. I fear that Revel is not being supported by Adobe and hence need to look seriously at Photos.
