Launching Labview as Power User starts installer

I installed Labview 6.1 as admin on a Windows XP SP1 machine. I gave 'everyone' full control to C:\Program Files\National Instruments.
Labview launches fine when I log in as an admin.
When Labview is started when logged in with a Power User account, it launches Windows Installer and starts to give error messages it can not find the required package.
When I make sure the LV CD is in the PC at that time, Labview does not give these errors, but starts to install something (doesn't say what). However, each time LV is launched: same installer messages.
How do I get rid of these messages? It speaks for itself I can not leave the CD in the CD drive.
Thanks,
David.

Hello,
I have the same problem with LabView 7.1 under Windows 2000!!!! I installed LabView 7.1 with admin-rights and every time a power user starts LabView, it trys to install something and says "Please reboot ....." After the reboot nothing has changed. The power user has to click "no" about 10 times to prevent LabView from rebooting. After that it runs fine.
Another problem occurs when the power user trys to restart or shut down the system. This takes about 3 minutes! I figured out that there is a LabView-task appearing and disappearing every 10 sec. in the task-manager during this ~3 minute period preventing the computer from shutting down (sounds strange?! - yes it is). I tried the previous hints about reconfiguring the windows-installer settings but nothing has changed!
Anyone has an idea???
Thanks
Holger

I would like to know whether its possible to start running a vi automatically without user interaction after a system has booted up and launched labview?

LV doesn't have any sort of Startup folder as we are a little concerned
about the security issues this brings about. You can specify VIs on the
command line for LV to open. And VIs can be set to run when opened.
Combining these features, you wind up using the system's Startup folder,
placing either a batch file or a shortcut to LV with the command line
options added to list out the VIs, and finally, set the VI properties
so
that the VIs run when opened.

Launching unrelated app, launches LabVIEW installer.

I'm having a the same problem that this guy is having. The application we're trying to launch is ietm52.exe the LabVIEW installer starts and attempts to install 7.0 files when the installation is 7.1.1.
What is causing an entirely different unrelated program to launch LabVIEW's installer? How do we make that stop? is there a patch or something?
[quote]Okay, so I'm a desktop tech, know little about LabView, but can at least install it. We also use pdfcreator on our desktops. For some reason, however, whenever pdfcreator is used (for ANYTHING, not just LabView stuff), a windows installer fire
s up, "please wait while windows configures NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0." The installer proceeds, then gets stuck while trying to find the msi. Well I don't HAVE the proper MSI apparently, because my version is 7.1.1! When I put in th
e 7.1.1 Run-Time CD (the only one I have) and point it to the msi it seems to be looking for, it still fails (apparently due to different versions).
So first, why is pdfcreator invoking this installer in the first place (they seem to have nothing to do with each other!)
Second, why is the installer looking for the Run-Time for 7.0, instead of 7.1.1?[/quote]

We did some research on this issue and found that VB6.0 common dialog box is what is causing LabVIEW to launch it's installer.
If a blank form was created with a common dialog box on it and run on the effected box, LabVIEW would would immediately launch it's runtime engine installer. The application we were trying to launch utilizes the common dialog box several times (as do many programs).
We then replaced version 7.1.1 with version 8 (which shows itself as version 7.0 in it's installer) and it resolved the issue.
I hope this is helpful to others who may have the same problem.

The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
iTunes 7.0.2 FIX ("Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening").
1. Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime.
2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install QuickTime FIRST.

Is there any way to password protect launching Labview?

Is it possible to have a password mechanism on the front end of Labview 6i launch, to prevent unauthorized persons from launching Labview.
Thanks in advance.

> Is it possible to have a password mechanism on the front end of

> Labview.
You don't say what operating system you are using, but this is the sort
of thing that user accounts are for. You can install packages so that
they are available only to different groups or users. This does mean
that each user needs to log out and into the machine in order for this
to be used.
Another thing you can do that may work well enough is to remove the LV
items from the Start menu. Move the LV directory so that it is not
located in the user's Path, and rename the executable to something other
than labview.exe. Check the path setting by looking at the environment
variables. Then place either a LV VI that verif
ies login, or a batch
file that verifies login on the desktop, in the Start Menu, etc. Name
it LV or whatever you like, and have it launch the real, sorta hidden LV
when the login is verified. This isn't bulletproof, but by renaming a
few things, people would find it difficult to even search for the thing.
I haven't tried this is awhile, but you used to be ale to make
directories hidden to the casual user.

NI Elvis throwing error 7, NI 488: Non existent board, NI Elvis traditional throwing error 2, NI 488: Write detects no Listeners when attempting to launch labview

I wrote a program on a laptop in our lab that used both the NI Elvis power supplies and DMM. On the laptops in the lab, which connected to NI Elvis through a board in the NI-PXIe device the program worked perfectly both as a vi and as an executable. The program needed to be put on some computers in another lab for student use with a different version of labview, and everything worked except for the variable power supplies. I activated debugging and it reported Error 7 at New File, NI 488: Non-Existent Board. After attempting to trouble shoot this and not finding any helpful results I attempted to rewrite the program on the computers directly, since I could only put the program on the computers as an executable since it was written in 8.6 and the computers only have 8.0 and 8.2. To begin I was going to launch labview from NI Elvis to use one of the example codes as a base for my program. When attempting to do this I got Error 2 with the possible causes being Labview memory full and NI 488: Write detected no listeners. My question is are the two errors related, and how can I fix these errors? All the NI Elvis software is 2.0, the original program was written in Labview 8.6, the computers have Labview 8.0 and 8.2 on them. The NI Elvis devices are connected directly through the computers, rather than through another device, I'm not sure if this might be causing some obscure hardware issue.

Hello Chris,
It looks like this error is associated with not having administrator privileges. Take a look at this other forum post for more information:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Academic-Hardware-Products-NI/Error-2-when-starting-LabVIEW-from-ELVIS-Instr...
If you can log in as an administrator you should be able to avoid getting error 2 when you launch LabVIEW from NI Elvis. Alternatively, you can upgrade to NI-ELVIS 3.0, because the issue is fixed in that version of NI-ELVIS. You can find this by going to ni.com/support and searching for "NI-ELVIS 3.0"

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

How to avoid launching Labview when invoking VI by Teststand

Hi, friends.
I'm a learner of teststand. I wrote some VIs by Labview. Now I want to invoke them in teststand environment. But when I run the sequence. Labview will be automatically launched. How to avoid launching Labview when I run the sequence?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not sure that I follow what you are saying.. But it sounds like when the VI is called, the LabVIEW development software is started and you want to avoid that.
If you create an executable or dll and call that from within TestStand, it should not call the development environment. You would need to have the LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the target PC.
It has been many years since I've used TestStand with LV, so my memory may not be accurate. I think the above had worked for me. However, it seems that I recall something about having the LV code in debug mode causing it to open the development environment.... but it's a distant memory. You're not using breakpoints where the LV VI is being called, are you?

Script to launch app after power up on specific days

Hello everyone,
I've been using scripts more and more each day, and I've learned a lot just by trial an error, and of course, great help from the community. But now I have this one script that I just can't figure out how it would work, or even if it's possible.
So the idea is to launch a specific app, after power up, on a specific day of the week. For example, say I want to have the app Mail to launch automatically after power up on sundays. How would I do that?
Thank you so much!

Hi anamorphis,
I've never used launch daemons, but you could search for that. You could probably do it with that. I know how to use launch agents where you can run programs on user login. These two are similar, but there might be complications on running things on power up as compared to launch agents. Search for daemons. There is a lot of stuff like that on the internet.

Widget Foundation: URL for Web Start installation seems to be invalid

Hi,
the URL from the Widget Foundation installation document for the JAVA Web Start installation (http://nvpal168.pal.sap.corp:1080/wfws/foundationWS.jnlp)
can not be resolved. Is the server actually running ? Maybe it is a wrong URL ?
Any help is appreciated
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
Though I have no idea of the internal site, I'll help you install the SAP Widget Foundation on your system.
1) Pls download the Widget Foundation from the downloads section on SDN : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/d026c9ae-ab33-2a10-70be-dafcd3fc9a82 [original link is broken] [original link is broken].
2) Make sure you have Java 1.6 and above installed on your machine.
3) Extract the Zip file that you downloaded in Step 1. You will find a SAPWidgetFoundation.jar file in it.
4) On the command prompt type java -jar SAPWidgetFoundation.jar and the installer will launch.
Have fun !

Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294

I get this error when installing VS 2015 Community RC. I'm installing on Windows 10 build 10074. I tried uninstalling VS and tried performing the steps from other known issues... Change > Custom > Select feature > Update.
I also get the other errors as well...
Emulators for Windows Mobile 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294
Emulators for Windows Mobile 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294

Same issue here, on a Surface Pro 3.
I've tried all I can think of, including a full reinstall of the OS (10074). Basically it always fails with the errors below.
Launching VS I do have the UAP templates installed, but not the emulators. I can create a new Windows Universal app no problem, however it shows up as a Windows 8.1 type in the properties pane. Missing lots of references so obviously nothing builds.
Tried installing the tools separately (the ones linked by Paul Chapman in a separate thread). These installed fine, and gave me the emulators (at least in the drop down, haven't been able to verify they work as nothing else works). Proceeded to "repair"
the VS install after this and at that point the install completed without errors, however nothing still works inside VS. Then proceeded to "modify" and remove any Universal app stuff, rebooted and reinstalled, only to get the same error again and
back at square one.
Tried, as far as I can remember, fresh installs from both the ISO and webinstaller (as there was some talk about the ISO containing older code and missing some tools).
Spent a week trying to get a Win10 rig up now, to no avail. Previous builds (with CTP6) would give me a UAP mobile install error, which seemed linked to Hyper-V not working, however Hyper-V was working just fine...
Oh, and obviously - No, I did not cancel the install myself.

New to Mac OSX and I want to be a power user

I hope this doesn't sound wrong but I'm a lifetime Windows user and I got my y. Mac Book about a month ago and I'm still learning but I feel like I'm doing the long way for certain actions and I'm sure there are shortcuts. I used to know Windows backwards and forwards and I feel like I'm doing everything the slow idiot way. Like for example switching windows in Chrome I hit F3 and select the Window. There's gotta be a faster way. and is there a redo and undo for numbers? a shortcut. I want to be a power user for mac and I can't find anything. I mean do I have to buy a book and learn that way?

I suspect you are going to get in trouble using Windows Network share to backup your Mac data.
The two main options for backing up your data on the Mac is to use Time Machine and a clone backup. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID
If a drive is not GUID, it's not bootable.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.
SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
CCC http://www.bombich.com/download.html
DropBox is a good option to share files on both Macs and PCs.
To get you started, be careful about how a drive is formatted.
Format that drive with Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID or format it exFAT.
exFAT if you plan on using that external on both Mac and Windows computers. Mac Extended (Journaled) if it will only be used on Mac computers.
If you format it exFAT do that on a Windows computer as Mac screws up the formatting and it then can't be read on Windows computers. Doing it on a Windows computer it can be read and written to on both Win and Mac.
A FAT32 formatted drive you can't store any file that is larger then 4GB (actually you can't store/save any file that is 4GBs. It has to be Slightly smaller then 4GB).

Delegate Ad users only installation rights on client Machines

Hi Everyone,
I want to delegate a Ad user to only install/ Uninstall rights?... Is is possible?
Please help....
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
To solve your requirement, you can add that AD user to "Power Users" group in a client machine for allowing software installation.
