Loading new labview exe files from a running vi

Hi! Me again
I've been thinking about another way to reset my running application (some data doesn't get reset due to it being in a case structure...(see http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=145525&requireLogin=False for details ).
What I would like to do is to be able to open a simple menu labview exe file, while closing the main file. This would enable the user to quit labview at the click of a button, or reload the main exe, freshened up , and then the menu closes. I can get vi's to open and close but an exe file would be supurb, as it can be used from the start, without needing a run button.
I've been fiddling with invoke method : open fp and loading a vi rather than an exe file. I'm sure it can be done. Bear in mind I'm a chemist, not a programmer, so some terminology may be lost on me, but examples are not

Hi Fios,
Why don't you just use the system exec.vi, found at All Functions >> communications >> system exec.vi
then you just put the full path to the executable in "command line" and set "Wait until completion?" to False
This will open your LV exe and then you can use VI server as you described in your post.

How to run and pass parameters to exe file from the .txt file

hi,
i am facing problem with passing parameters to the .exe file which is run by labview.firstly i have .txt script with parameters which i have to pass to .exe file. This .exe file is also a software and that script is written for it.And now i have to create programm in labview which should fullfill following points.
1. I have to use one knob named 'Run script'.If i pressed the knob ,it should open the Browser where i can choose .txt script file.
2. .exe application should open(Path already chossen).
3. after passing the parameters .exe application should closed.
4.And labview now should update his parameter
I can just open .exe file using Exce.vi but i dont getting any idea to do more than this.can somebody please help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This depends on the exe file. Does it retrieve the information as standard input or does it require the information as command line arguments?
Depending on this, you can read the txt-file in LV (using the file functions) and pass the content to the System Exec.vi.

How to disable .EXE files to be run from Group Policy

I would like to know how to disable .exe files from GP?
Thanks in advance

All exe files icluding calc.exe, notepad.exe and explorer.exe or just some exe files?
There are different approaches to this.
If you're trying to block a single executable that you're familiar with you can disable it from a GPO using the setting:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Don't run specified Windows applications
Another option is to specify only the applications you want to allow Using:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Run only specified Windows applications
This one would probably take a lot of work to populate for a system with many applications installed or for a corporate environment.
None of the two mentioned settings takes into account that a user can name their exe file what they want so renaming mydangerousapp.exe to explorer.exe would make it a perfectly legitimate executable.
A more robust and managable way of securing your systems by controlling which applications that can be launched is Software Restriction Policies.

How to run exe file from inside java

I wan to run an exe file from inside java code. How can I do it?
Thanks

Hi Oakam
This is very simple. Just go through the given code below
in place of FILEANDPATHNAME just give the exe's path and name
Note :- adding ".exe " is not necessary
public class exep
public static void main(String args[])
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
try{
p = r.exec("FILEANDPATHNAME");
catch(Exception e)
Give ur feedback
Thanx

Launch EXE file from IC WebClient

Hi All,
How can we call .exe file from IC WebClient.
we want to launch the .exe file from the navigation into application work area.
any suggestion would be great.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hello Raj,
The best way to do this would be with the Transaction Launcher. Depending on the version of CRM you are running, you might need to modify the handler class -- as some newer version of CRM seemed to append the http preface to the front of any non-URL file name. Of course, if your EXE program runs as a web application, you could just call the URL.
Best regards,
John

Aggregator EXE files won't run

Hi,
I'm new to using Captivate and I recently created my first Captivate-based lesson. I have 5 discrete learning modules each with their own multiple-choice quiz, so I decided it would be best to make 5 different projects and then stitch them together using Aggregator. I want to publish both an APP file for Mac users and an EXE file for PC folks. The APP file I create in Aggregator runs just fine, but the EXE file won't run. There are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything when you try to run the file.
Here is what I have tried (without success):
Both XP and Win 7 (won't run on either)
Installing newest version of Flash Player
Running the EXE file as an Admin
Oddly enough, if I publish each of the 5 projects as an EXE separately, they run just fine. My back-up plan is to make the PC users open each of the 5 modules separately, but I'd prefer to avoid this if I can.
Am I doing something wrong in Aggregator? It seems pretty simple and the APP file works...
Thanks for any help!
Jess

Hi Rod,
That was a great idea. Unfortunately, none of the 5 Aggregator EXE files (each with one of the 5 projects missing from it) worked. I double-checked the 5 EXE files that I published individually directly from Captivate (without Aggregator) and all of them work just fine. It's looking like I need to go with plan B and just force my users to return repeatedly to the CD-ROM to open each subsequent module.
I asked a friend to run the Aggregator-created APP file on his Mac and it wouldn't run for him even though it will run for me on my Mac. So I'm thinking I will need to publish each of the 5 projects as separate APP files as well and the Mac and PC folks will be in the same boat.
Thanks,
Jess

Restrict .EXE files from being uploaded

Hi,
Can we restrict .EXE files from being uploaded to Business Partner Attachments.
In our project we have a set of extensions that can be uploaded to the Business partner attachments, Can someone explain me how to restrict this.
Thanks in advance,
Karunakar.K

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?
For example there are four files named "test1.h & test1.c" and another set "test2.h & test2.c" (I attached them as attachment to this post).
test1.h contains code:
int variable; //variable declared as integer
test1.c contains code:
variable = 1; //variable assigned a value
test1.h contains code:
char *variable; //variable declared as string
test1.c contains code:
variable = "EXAMPLE"; //variable assigned a string
So here, in this case can I dynamically load / unload the first & second group of files so that the same variable name "variable" can be used both as integer and string? And if yes, how is that to be done?
Solved!

What do you mean by "dynamically"?
If you want to have a variable that either is an int or a char in the same program run, I'm afraid your only option is to define it as a variant and assign from time to time the proper data type in the variant according to some condition. Next, every time you access the variable you must firstly check which data type is stored in it, next access it in the proper way.
If on the other hand your option or to have a run in which the variable is an int, next you stop the program and in a following run it is a char, you may have it by using some appropriade preprocessor clause:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
#include "test1.h"; // variable defined as a char
#else
#include "test2.h"; // variable defined as int
#endif
Next, every time you want to access the variable you must proceed in the same vay:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
variable = "string";
#else
variable = 1;
#endif
Does it worth the effort?
Additionally, keep in mind that this "dynamical" approach can work only in the IDE, where you can properly #define your CHAR_TYPE or not depending on your wishes: when you compile the program, it will have only one #include depending on the definition of the macro.

.exe file from java

Hi all !!!
Is it possible to run a *.exe file from java.....
if yes how??
if no why not??
regards
ad

Yes. It's possible. One of the Runtime.exec() methods are probably what you want:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html
You can't instantiate a Runtime object, so you'll need to call it up by:
Runtime.getRuntime()
For example, if you want to run the Calculator in Windows, try:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("calc");
