Labview executable installer cannot find windows favorites

When attempting to install an LabVIEW executable, using the Installer created with LabVIEW, before copying any files or making any changes to the local PC, the setup.exe queries for the location ‘My Favorites’ from the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites). If this has been moved to a mapped network drive, the setup will error saying that it is unable to access this location. Using Sysinternals Process Monitor, the setup.exe process does not try accessing this location.
Thanks in advance for any help

But why have favorites mapped like that in the first place?
Possible reasons:
1) Internal IT procedures
2) floating user account setups across the entire network
It's not uncommon to do these things but I have found to many problems with this also outside of LabVIEW to find it a practical solution.

  • FRM-41052:Cannot Find Window : Invalid Id

    Hello,
    I have developed a New Form and wanted to use the calendar in the date fields. I had added all the codes and when I added the APPSTAND.fmb in the same directory where my form lies, it gives this error : -
    "FRM-41052:Cannot Find Window : Invalid Id" .
    The First window gets displayed, where I feed in the parameters using LOV and then when I click on the FIND button, I get this error message window for 4-5 times before I get into the next window.
    If the APPSTAND.fmb is removed from that directory, the Form runs fine without displaying the Calendar for the Date field.
    Please letme know how should I go about in handling this issue.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

  • Labview executable immediately quits on WIndows XP

     Greetings,
    Short description of the problem: I build an executable of my Labview 2010 (32-bit) project on my Windows 7 (64-bit) development machine and it runs fine. When I attempt to run the .exe on a different Windows 7 (32-bit) machine it runs fine. When I try to run it on any Windows XP machine, the executable starts and then quits immediately. No error message is reported and it appears that the VI doesn't ever start executing. My installer includes the LV2010 run-time engine and NI-VISA run-time. The application window opens just for a split second, just long enough to see the front panel briefly, before disappearing.
    Background: This problem showed up early in the project but it went away when I installed Service Pack 1 for Labview 2010. I assumed it was some obscure bug. I went through several revisions of the project over the next couple of months. Most of the target machines run Windows 7 so I never spent a lot of time testing the executables on WinXP but all of the early versions worked fine. At some point in the development the executables stopped working on Windows XP. I haven't made any changes to the build specifications or installer that I can find.
    I've found the latest revision of my code that produces an executable that works on WinXP. There are a lot of small changes between that version of the code and the earliest non-working version I have but none of them seem like they should cause such a fundamental failure.
    I cannot even use the debugger on the XP target machine. The window will appear and wait for me to start the debugger. As soon as I start execution (either locally or via the debugger) the application quits immediately and closes the connection with the debugger. I cannot probe any signals or set any breakpoints. Nothing in the VI code executes prior to quitting.
    No errors are generated, no crash message, nothing in the Windows event log. Just...poof.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    In addition to race conditions, bad (or non existant) error handling is also known to create such issues. Please note that executables do not have "automatic error handling" so maybe errors are simply not reported, but the code exits execution.
    Sources of errors like this are often:
    - File IO and plugins (relative paths may change in exe!)
    - Trying to load components which require recompile (which is done in the development system without notifying you, but the RTE cannot do this). Refers to plugins mainly.
    - Using DLLs which are either not found or have invalid parameter settings in exe (unhandled exception of either the DLL itself or the LV RTE when accessing return values).
    Are you sure that you have all components installed on each machine (please remember that there are modules requiring dedicated RTEs)?
    Can you try building the exe on a XP machine? Does it behave differently?
    thanks,
    Norbert
    PS: I am not aware that there is a general issue. If this issue is persistent on your machines, i would take a look into user rights on each system. Does the behavior change if you meddle with the user rights?
    [EDIT] PPS: Another source for the issue might be virus scanner and/or firewall.....

  • Installation cannot find a disk to install on

    Hello,
    Very short version of the problem:
    *Tiger installation does not detect any harddrive to install to*
    Full story:
    Yesterday I bought my very first iMac. It's a 20" wirh 2Gb ram and 300Gb disk.
    It was preinstalled with Tiger. I did the updrade to Leopard mself. No problems there.
    Then I treid to install Windows using bootcamp.
    Since then, a lot of problems.
    The system will not start anymore.
    So, since this is a fresh system, I have no problem starting all over again.
    I can't directly start with Leopard since they are only upgrade disks, so have to install Tiger first.
    When I have the install-1 Tiger disk in the CD and start the system, the upgrade
    starts.
    *But at a certain point it shows the box with available Harddrives to install to.*
    *That box is empty on my screen !!!!*
    *This is the problem: The apple cannot find my harddrive anymore.*
    does anybody have a clue what to do now?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Cannot Install - Installer cannot find file

    A colleague and I are getting the same error when trying to install this software.
    The installer extracts files into the temp directory, then an error pops up saying "The system cannot find the files pecified." I can see that it is trying to find "hpzrein01.exe" with "hpqins15.dat" included as a parameter. I can see the .dat file in the specified directory, but the .exe does not exist in the folder that the installer deposited the extracted files.
    Any help would be appreciated. I did some web searches, but did not find a solution.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Any USB Device Installs Cannot Find Drivers - x40 SP3

    I am running Windows XP SP3 on an X40 2371-HU3. I am unable to install new USB devices such as an RF mouse + keyboard and a multifunction printer. Importantly, I *am* able to connect new removable storage devices with no trouble.
    The error occurs when I reach the stage of the install process where Windows prompts me to direct it to the driver. I manually direct the driver installation wizard to whatever location the driver files are located in... the wizard looks in the location, and promptly reports that there is no appropriate driver to be found.
    This happens with the following USB devices:
    Brother MFC-8660DN
    Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110
    Belkin portable USB hub
    HP OfficeJet 4255
    This problem has been going on for months without me fully realizing it, so I cannot point at the installation or uninstallation of any particular piece of hardware of software that created this problem.
    This one has me stumped, folks. Thanks in advance for your help.

    OK I have an idea what might be going on here. Let's try this:
    1. Unplug the Brother MFC-8660DN USB cable.
    2. Download and install the Windows XP driver package for the MFC-8660DN from the Brother web site.
    3. Plug the USB cable back in.
    Windows XP includes drivers for nearly all USB storage devices, so they usually work without any additional drivers.
    Windows XP cannot find drivers for the printers you list because it has none. Before plugging into USB, you have to install them from the manufacturer's web site downloads or from the CDs which came with them.
    I confess I am a bit puzzled as to why XP doesn't find drivers for the USB hub - is it a fancy model? I would also have expected Windows XP to have some basic drivers for the mouse and keyboard, but usually there are manufacturer drivers which give access to more advanced features.
    Hope this helps get you a step in the right direction!

  • Tiger 10.4.3 Installer Cannot Find Destination Drive

    I am trying to upgrade[finally] from 10.2.8 to 10.4.3 using the installer disc, but it cannot find my hard drive for it to install. I have run a repair[ Disk & Permissions] using Disk Utility, everythings fine. Have run an Apple Hardware check and again eveything fine. Through System Preferences/Startup Disk It sees my disc no problem and everything is running smoothly and quickly, so I'm a bit worried why the installer disc is unable to see my hard drive.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated, Sorry if this query has been answered elsewhere, I had a good look before I added this entry and couldn't find an answer.
    Thanks for your time.
    Power Mac G4 Quicksilver[Mirrored Drive Doors]   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Had a go but the DVD's Disk Utility simply couldn't see my hard drive went on the System Profiler off the installer disc and again the only disc it could see was the DVD itself, No other ATA drive or Serial ATA drive. Rebooted the computer as normal and the system profiler saw the hard drive with no problem. I unplugged all peripheral hardware like DVD Burner, Scanner and Printer, and my Firmware is all up to date as your checklist suggested too.
    Was wondering, my hard drive has it's jumper set to "Enable cable select", When starting from the Installer disc does that cause a conflict about which disc is master and results in the disc not being seen?
    (Sorry if this is a silly suggestion, it doesn't take long for this technical stuff to baffle me, as you can tell)
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Cannot find Windows Boot camp drivers during Windows 7 installation

    I am trying to install Win 7 using bootcamp.  Everything goes fine until, during the installation, I am asked to load the drivers.  None of them can be found.

    Before you go buy a flash drive, can you plug-in the USB into the iMac with OSX booted and go into About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> USB and post a screen shot . This is what it would look like.
    Also, your USB should have files like these. You can use Applications -> Utilities -> Grab to capture a screen shot (of a selection). Please remove any personal information from the screen shot using Application -> Preview. The screen shots can be posted by clicking on the Camera icon at top of this Reply box.
    Can you also post the output of diskutil list command from the OSX Terminal window?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Greg,
    This may seem like a silly question--but does your serial application utilize the Real Time Module? If so, then I'd like to check that it is installed and licensed. Go to Start>Program Files>National Instruments>NI License Manager. Do you see the Real-Time Module listed underneath LabVIEW 2009? If so, what color is the box next to it? If it is green, and you are indeed using the Real Time Module in your application, then I recommend reinstalling the module from the hard drive itself--i.e, copy the installation from the CD to your desktop, then install. When including additional installers, LabVIEW will look for them for wherever they were last installed from. If it is on your hard drive, it shouldn't have any trouble finding it. If you are not using the LabVIEW Real Time Module, then uncheck it from the list of Additional Installers.
    Feel free to post back if these steps do not resolve your problem.
