Missing installer component NI-VISA Runtime

We use the LabWindows/CVI 2010 Version 10.0.0 (360) and have installed the new runtime from the installer package 5.0.3.31.
With different projects on different computers we have the same problem: The NI-VISA runtime can not be included in the installation package. With older projects which have been already distributed we get the error message when opening the tab "Drivers & Components" and click on the red entry for the visa runtime: "This component is not installed on this system, and cannot be included in distributions built on this machine". Reinstallation of the NI-VISA runtime does not help. The installation is visible in the MDF File and the registry (distributions and products). With a new project the entry NI-VISA runtime does not appear on the "Drivers & Comnponents" tab.
What went wrong? We are not able to create any distribution at this moment.

The items shown in the Drivers & Components tab are enumerated from the contents of the <program files>\National Instruments\Shared\MDF\Manifests directory. If you have NI-VISA 5.0.3 installed, you should have a file in that directory named 'NI-VISA Runtime 5.0.3 {85BA3FCF-AA00-4151-B97D-84A221E8198A}.xml'. From your experience, I would guess that maybe this file is somehow missing. That would be especially strange, given that you have uninstalled and reinstalled, but it seems to be the most logical explanation. I am attaching a zipped copy of that file here as a replacement, in case you are missing it. If you already have the file, or replacing it does not solve your problem, it will be handy to look at the debug build log. You should attempt to build the distribution, then after it prompts you and you abort, look for the file <user temp dir>\distBuildDbg.log and post it in your reply.

Runtime Error building Installer with NI-VISA Runtime

Greetings, I'm getting this error whenever I check the "NI-VISA Runtime" option in the installer app builder.
Everything builds fine when I check only the Runtime Engine. Shown below is what causes the RUNTIME ERROR and closes Labview Unexpectedly.
Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
JD

Hi JD,
This is a relatively common error with the Application Builder that can happen for several different reasons, namely registry keys pointing to installations that no longer exist. The easiest way to identify the problem is to get detailed information about the installer build. Here are directions:
LabVIEW has the
ability to create a very detailed log of the events that occur when
building an application or installer. To enable this feature, open up
the LabVIEW.ini file and copy "CDK.EnableLog=true" to the bottom
of the file. Save the changes and close the ini file. The LabVIEW.ini
file is usually located in C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\LabVIEW X.X
Enabling this feature will create a log file in the %temp% directory of your computer (%...% means a computer variable) .
To
find out where this temp directory is located, go to Start>>Run.
Type in "cmd". Then type "set". This will return all of your computer's
variable names.
Look for TEMP in the list of variable names. You should see something like "TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp".
Navigate to this directory using Windows Explorer.
You
should see a file named "Name.log" where "name" is the name of your
build specification. For example, you might see "My Installer.log" if
the name of your build specification is "My Installer".
This will give you a more detailed log of the attempted build and, if I'm correct about why this particular build failed, show you which installer is expected at that registry. If the registry points to a directory without the necessary installer (i.e. VISA), simply delete the registry and allow the App Builder to prompt you to to point to the correct location.

NI-VISA Runtime 4.3 Additional Installer problem

Hello,
I am using Project Explorer and I'm trying to include NI-VISA Runtime 4.3, but during the build I get a message that says:
Locate the "Activate" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer.
I don't know what the "Activate" distribution is or where to find it! Please help.
See attachments.

Thanks for the suggestion but I solved the problem a different way. I downloaded NI-VISA Run-time 4.3 from http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/989/lang/en then extracted it to a folder. I pointed Project Explorer to this folder and it found it properly.
I was then able to build the project successfully.

VISA runtime with installshield

How can I include VISA runtime install with my Visual c++ (Install Shield) installer?
Instead of asking user to execute VISA RT installer seperately.
Appl: Win32 platform
Tools: Component Works++ w/VISA for RS-232 Serial Comm.

This is not supported at this time. The only way to install the NI-VISA run-time is through the separate, standalone installer. National Instruments is aware that this is not the best way to redistribute driver software in all circumstances. National Instruments researching ways to allow customers to incorporate drivers more seamlessly into their installers.
Note that NI-VISA is not freely redistributable. You must ensure that each machine on which you install NI-VISA has a valid license for NI-VISA.

Hi Rangnath,
For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

Labview 8 Application Builder and VISA Runtime Engine

Hi,
I am using Labview 8 Application Builder and everything is working fine except for 1 small thing. My program makes use of some of the VISA functions and when I build the application I'm having to include the VISA Runtime Engine Installer as a separate item on the CD to make the .exe file work.
What I would ideally like is for people who want to use the application to run the installer and that all necessary components (including the VISA Runtime Engine) are also installed in the one installation. At the moment they're having to do 2 installations and I would like to streamline this.
Is this possible?
Ken

Hi,
this How-To explains about making those selections and including the different drivers :
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/add_installers_to_build/
and this tutorial covers the screenshots a little more step by step.

NI VISA Runtime engine

When "Building" a LabVIEW program containing NI-VISA sub VI's (e.g. to communicate with USB), I have had problems getting the "Built code" to find my NI VISA devices, even though the NI VISA USB Drivers are correctly installed on the "target machine".
(The "built" code WILL run if the target machine has a LabVIEW installation on it, including NI VISA)
So - will the NI VISA runtime engine be automatically included in the "Build" (Because of the NI VISA sub VI's), or do I have to specify this myself - And how?
Thanks. Peter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You specify installing the NI VISA Runtime Engine when you build and installer for your built executable. Look on the Additional Installers tab of the Installer Properties Dialog Box. The NI VISA Runtime Engine should be selected automatically but if it's not you can uncheck the Automatically select recomended installers checkbox and select any other installers you want to include in your install.
If you're not using an installer then no runtime engines are installed and you'll have to do that manually on each machine you copy the executable to.
This all assumes LabVIEW 2013. The selection process is slightly different in earlier versions but all the options are still available.

Database name is missing a component....

I'm doing a 3 server install on Windows 2000 Professional.
While installing the infrastructure, while it tries to create the database I get the warning "database name is missing a component". I'm never asked to enter a database name, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
The infrastructure hostname is "in", it's in workgroup "workgroup", and the fully qualified hostname is "in.sdia.com". It's IP address is 192.168.45.10. In the hosts file I added the following line after the default localhost entry:
192.168.45.10 in.sdia.com in
In the infrastructure install my instance name is "instance1".
I can finish the infrastructure install (and it reports it as successful), but I then get the same error doing the information store install, after which it fails on the database creation.
Any ideas?

How do you double quote the db name in a single box installation on Windows ? In a single box inst, you do not get the chance to specify the name that is causing the trouble, namely iasd.domainname.in.something. On windows, I tried manually running the same command that, according to logs, was failing, but could not get this to work. I tried all alternatives I could think of (-gdbname iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi / "iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi" / 'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi' / ""iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"" / '"iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"' / "'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi'") but none of them works. Some quickly spit out an error about an error in the name, while some fail only later with ORA-02084. What should I do ?

Im missing a component. these number pop up -45019

The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure any 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatible.
Good luck in any case.

NI-Visa Runtime 5.4.0 Fails with error status 1603.

I'm trying to install the NI-Visa runtime 5.4.0 in a Windows 7 embeded PC after some investigation I can see in the windows log the error status after the installation it's 1603.
What it's the meaning of this error? did anyone succeed in install the foftware in a similar platform?
Thanks and best regards.

I ran the verbose log for the NI install file, in this case:

I cannot see the Vidoe displayed on the screen, only hear the sound. I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help.

I am not able to view my video taken with a memory card only the sound? I am missing a component? Compressor, etc. I just downloaded the latest version of Quicktime for Microsoft, please help
I can see it on Windows Media? Need help on this.

It says SEDG 720X480 2:1 Mono. Video came from Sd memory card taken with a Samsung Video Camera.
Strangely enough, as a FourCC, SEDG is defined as "MPEG-4 hardware and software codec used in Samsung digital video products." Not a Windows or Samsung camcorder user but THIS WEB PAGE may be of some assistance.
Also I will need to view a CD recorded by the same camera (DVD-RW) file extensions are VIDEO_RM.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, SAMSUNG.IFO So far these files don't open even with Windows Media.
I don't know what to do to be able to open up these files save them on my Hard drive and then be able to upload them to YouTube. Any Ideas?
IFO files tell how the video content is segmented and where the video data is located. BUP files contain back-up IFO information. VOB files contain actual multipled audio/video data. A DVD formatted to play in a commercial DVD player normally contains a series of files named "VTS##_#.VOB" where ## refers to the "title" series and "_#" (where # is not a zero) refers to the order in which the video title file data is played.
Again, I am neither a Windows user nor an athority on Samsung VIDEO_RM folder structures. However, if your disc contains both a VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folder, then I would normally assume the VIDEO_RM folder is present for legacy purposes and/or to provide information about the refording device while the VIDEO_TS folder actually contains the video object (VOB) file data. In any case, as I am not familiar with what software is available for muxed MPEG-2/AC3 editing/conversion on a Windows platform, I would try viewing the VOB files in an application like MPEG Streamclip (free). If you can play the Audio and video content (be sure to read the MPEG Streamclip requirements regarding codec installation), then you can edit (merge and/or trim) the raw data and convert it to a format compatible for YouTube uploading. (I.e., MPEG Streamclip is commonly used on the Mac for this type of work flow and the app is also available for Windows use.)

Can visa runtime engine be included in application build?

I just installed my program on a new machine and it wouldn't work. Turned
out I needed to also install the visa runtime engine. Is there any way to
automatically include that in the application build?

I've seen that you can tick of under the "additional installers" that Visa runtime is included, however, this will look for the installer files on the CD's. Is there a way to update this ? (I have 4.0 on the disc, and would like to included 4.2 in my build for installation/deployment.
The file I download from NI is a .exe, but the linking to the build configurator is some strange windows code (see attached screenshot)

Looking for a VISA Runtime Merge Module

I am building an installer with install shield. I have been able to find a LabVIEW Runtime Merge Module and that seems to work great. But, I need one for the VISA RunTime.

You can download the VISA RunTime Engine from NI's website ( click here ) and have your installer also install the RunTime engine. This link will take you to an NI Knowledge Base which describes how to do this.

How to create multiple component instances at runtime using java

Hi,
I need to create component instances at runtime using java.I found ComponentSet.add method.But I am not finding a way to get handle of ComponentSet.
I see methods with params of IRuntimeNode.But how to get ComponentSet from IRuntimeNode.
If anybody knows or have sampel code then please share with me.
thanks,
ashok

Ashok --
This is a common challenge for those using Configurator Extensions with multiple instantiation for the first time. The problem is that the CIO's representation of the structure for multiply-instantiable Components differs slightly from what both Configurator Developer users and Configurator Runtime users see in those respective applications. Multiply-instantiable Components are not direct children of the Model in which they're defined. Internally, there is an entity that sits between the parent Model and the instantiable Components; that intermediate entity is the ComponentSet object you've found in the CIO documentation.
If the name of your multiply-instantiable Component is "My Component", then its ComponentSet may be accessed simply by calling getChildByName("My Component") on its parent Model; a List of the instantiated Components may be accessed with the ComponentSet's getChildComponentNodes() method, and instances may be added and deleted using its add() and delete() methods.
Hope this helps.
