Newbie - Standalone.exe Wont' Autorun

I exported my project as a standalone.exe and checked the
options to generate autorun for cd and the full screen. After
burning the CD, I've put the CD in drive and nothing happens. If I
try to click on the cd rom drive, it asks me what program should
Windows use to open it.
Here is the content of the autorun.inf file:
[autorun]
open=file.exe
icon=file.exe,0
I have tried burning this on more than one machine where
autorun works with other CD's.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks, Hollie

  • Standalone exe autorun not working

    I exported my project as a standalone exe and checked the
    options to generate autorun for cd and the full screen option.
    After burning the CD, when I put the CD in, nothing happens. If I
    try to click on the cd rom drive, it asks me what program should
    Windows use to open it.
    I have full control over this pc, so permissions aren't an
    issue.
    Here is the content of the autorun.inf file:
    [autorun]
    open=file.exe
    icon=file.exe,0
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks.

    Hi all
    mja2006, my question to you would be to ask if your project
    is truly exporting a file named "file.exe"? Or is it something
    different, such as "How to create a file.exe"?
    For Hollie_Batesville and others, autorun has its own little
    idiosyncrasies. So I would check the following items:
    1. Avoid using long file names. Personally, I stick to the
    old DOS 8.3 file naming convention. This means using 8 characters
    for the File Name and 3 characters for the file extension. As
    Captivate is creating the extension for you (.EXE) that part is
    taken care of. So all you really have to worry about is the initial
    part.
    I've had it happen to me where I have a project I exported
    using a name such as:
    Captivate Bonus Files.exe
    Autorun failed
    But when I modified it to say:
    CapBonus.exe
    Autorun mysteriously began working
    2. Avoid using spaces in your file names. For example, My
    Project.exe should probably be exported instead as either
    MyProject.exe or possibly My_Project.exe. Again, note that even
    that one exceeds my recommendation for the 8.3 format, so I would
    probably even amend that further to something like MyProj.exe or
    something along those lines.
    Hopefully these suggestions help... Rick

  • After install of 8.1.5 SQLLDR.EXE wont exit after sucessful load.

    After installing 8.1.5, SQLLDR.EXE wont exit after sucessfully loading a table. My DOS window just hangs. Has anyone had this problem? Version 8.1.5 is the highest license we have. I was on 8.0.5 and it worked ok.

    Sorry to reply to my own post but this may help someone else.
    The problem is that the Solaris 10 Express install doesn't install the /kernel/misc/sparcv9/kbtrans module. I just copied it before I rebooted after the first CD install.
    (1) At the <Press Return to reboot the system> {"!" exits} prompt, enter "!"
    (2) The new root partition will be mounted as /a.
    (3) Copy the kbtrans file
    cp -p /kernel/misc/sparcv9/kbtrans /a/kernel/misc/sparcv9/kbtrans
    (4) Reboot
    This is just a workaround - Sun needs to fix the install.

  • MAX communicates fine with GPIB Instrument, LV Standalone Exe Front Panel Control Does Not See It.

    I have succesfully created a LV standalone EXE which communicated with external GPIB instruments.  I used LV 7.1 for this.  I upgraded DAQMx to 8.0 on the development machine and also the target which runs the Exe.  The EXe runs fine on the development machine but when run on the target laptop, the front panel control fails to see the GPIB instrument.  On the target, in MAX I  successfully setup communication with the GPIB instrument.  Is there some incompatibilty with DAQMx 8.0 and LV7.1?   An additional piece of info here: when upgrading to DAQMx 8.0, I selected the installation support for LV 7, 7.1 and also 8.  Could this be where the problem lies? 
    Thanks
    Peter

    The GPIB code is actually an IVI driver made for a Rhode and Schwarz TRMS meter.  Its the standard VISA Read/Write, nothing out of the ordinary.  I'm using a USB-GPIB-HS adapter to communicate with it.  Like I mentioned, the VISA instrument control drop down list on the front panel of the Exe does not list any GPIB instruments,  all that is listed is ASRL...1, ASRL...4, and ASRL...10.  In the EXE that used to work, there were no ASRL... references listed.  What was listed was the GPIB0...INSTR...20, COM1, and the parallel port.  So something weird is going on now, somehow effected with the load of DAQMx 8.0.

  • Open URL or File not working for standalone exe

    I've tried lots of different things here...
    I have one movie, published as standalone exe (windows). In
    Preferences, I have "Open URL or File, and enter the next movie
    name - movie_2.exe.
    I have tried using a front or backslash in front of the file
    name.
    I've confirmed the files do both exist in the same directory.
    Symptom:
    They publish fine, and I can click on the exe to run it, but
    when it ends, it seems to be looking for a site...I get a browser
    window that opens, and a please wait, while it looks for
    http://movie_2.exe/, then a "Page
    cannot be displayed".
    Any hints?
    Thank you!

    I don't much use EXE output because of its limitations, but
    others do, and the situation you are describing
    is
    covered, with what appears to be a satisfactory conclusion, at this
    link. Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 4.3 update exe wont open in windows vista..

    I had no problem updating my laptop with windows 8 to lightroom 4.3 however, the exe file wont even open on my main computer using windows Vista.. 4.2 updater opens no problem but 4.3 updater doesn't   solution? don't say update windows.. lol

    Having the same problems with Firefox, Chrome and IE, on Vista, all downloads fail to run the .exe. After downloading with Firefox on my Ubuntu PC and copying the file to my Vista box I have finally managed to run the exe to extract the install programme, readme & the lightoom 4 files folder etc and then on the second attempt manged to get the install exe to run and install 4.3.
    This is not what i expect from Adobe!!
    Adobe, can you be more specific as to what is causing this problem and also perhaps consider making the downloads available through FTP instead of only HTTP, it would be a more efficient use of your download server which seems to get saturated too frequently.

  • CBSpersist log automatically created and filling up drive. How do I stop sfc.exe from autorunning

    I am working on a machine where the client complained that the drive kept filling up. Upon checking I realised that over 750GB was occupied with CBS logs. These logs are usually generated when SFC.exe (System File Checker) executes. However, they are being
    created an average of 3 times a week and no one onsite is running SFC. The logs go back to 2012 so it appears that somehow SFC is autorunning..
    I could not locate a scheduled task for it in Task Scheduler. 
    Is there a wasy to confirm that there is no schedule task other than again going through every single element. 
    Any ideas as to why it is happening and how to stop it will be greatly appreciated.
    The machine is running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hi,
    Are we in a domain environment?
    Did this issue occur on a special machine or with all the clients in the domain?
    CBS is Component-Based Servicing, and CBS.log logged the information for CBS events. More information regarding CBS, please take a look at:
    Understanding Component Based Servicing.
    Could you please have a share with the recent log file before going further? There might be some issue keep logging in the log file. Upload it to skydrive if possible and post us the link here.

  • How to compile a LabVIEW VI into a standalone .exe programme? (LV8.5.1 student edition)

    Hi,
    I have LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student Edition and am not sure how to compile my VI into a standalone executable (.exe file) that can run without LabVIEW being installed on the computer (no data cards are being read, the VI is providing a simulation of an experiment)?
    Do I need to buy additional software to do this, or have I just missed an option in the LabVIEW menu's?
    Thanks for the help  

    Building and distributing an executable is probably beyond the intended scope of the student edition. The application builder is not included.
    (The application builder alone is several times the cost of the student edition....) 
    You have a few alternatives:
    Check with your school, maybe they have a NI campus license, for example.
    Maybe you can host the program on your computer and let others use it via the web (one at the time). 
    One of us can probably built the application for you if you post the VIs.

  • Standalone (.exe) Flash 8 apps have stopped working with blank white screen

    We have some standalone executable flash applications coded with Flash 8. These are the Microsoft Office 2007 command reference guides produced by Microsoft. Recently they have stopped working and now just display as a blank white screen when run.
    As they are self contained Flash 8 movies, I'm unsure what would cause this.
    Any ideas please? Could they be converted to a later version somehow? Or converted back to SWF so they can be recompiled back to exe with a later version of Flash? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Itunessetup.exe wont open

    Hello,
    I had been using iTunes version 8.2.0 i think and it worked fine with my ipod classic and music etc. when the version 9 update came i tried to update but it always got to about 70% and stop saying "Itunes+Quicktime" has a invalid signature.
    I recently got an ipod touch so i needed version 9 to sync my itunes with it. itunes still always got that error when updating though so i uninstalled it and downloaded the new version from the apple website it seemed to download fine but when i went to open it to install. I got a prompt that it doesn't have a valid signature and may be dangerous software am i sure i want to install, i did yes and my computer acted like it was loading but then did nothing.
    I have googled and went through all the forums related and have tried all the solutions ive found... empty temp files, temp internet files, restart, download thorugh different internet program, allow through firewall, etc. etc.
    I really want my music and movies on my new ipod touch and would really like to listen to my music again if anyone has any advice on what i can do to get my itunes working again please help.
    Thank you, Jaggedrock

    Hey Paul,
    Thanks for the advice and links.. i connected my computer straight to the modem but still get the same problem. From my friends computer i put the itunessetup.exe version 7.1 on a flashdrive and downloaded the newest version from his internet and put it on there also. the version 9 now has a "Itunessetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application" error.

Check your internet settings and try again" i have internet good on both through my router and direct. Any advice on what to do now to fix it?

  • CMS.exe wont start: FWM 01003

    HI All,
    I seem to be having some issues with getting BO XI running.  THis is what anyone gets when logging into BO:
    Error: Server ****** not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
    Nothing has changed in terms of server ports no datasource.  Now there have been numerous posts/resolutions on this, however none of them seem to work for me.
    I have:
    Restarted SIA and Apache Tomcat (in the recommended order)
    Restarted the server
    Checked the ODBC connection (localhost, MySQL installed as default alongside BO)
    I have noticed that CMS.exe is shutting down a few seconds after SIA is started which looks like its casuing the issue, and the Event Viewer mentions it maybe either ports or the datasource.  Both of these appear fine, so Im not sure what it is.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Edited by: Systems Administrator on May 3, 2010 8:24 AM

    Does your server have more that 1 network cards setup?
    Try to add the name and IP address of the host directly in the hosts file.
    Can you please check in <BOBJ installation directory>\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\logging for errors in the log files of the CMS and the SIA?

  • UTLite33.exe wont start

    Hi,
    UTLite33.exe from Campus Manager 3.3 does not want to start, it gives the following:
    "UTLite33.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
    Thanks

    If you are getting this message on a system running Windows 7 64 bit, please refer to this article for the solution:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3557044
    Basically you need to copy the utlite33.exe to your Windows directory, right click on it and set it to Windows XP compatibility mode.  Log out and back in and if your script calls it to run, you should see it under Task Manager > Processes.

  • How do you disable "Run with Multiple Threads" in a standalone EXE

    I have a program written in Labview 6.1.  After moving to a different hardware platform, my program has started crashing at the same point every time it is run.  I eventually found out that the cause of the crash is the fact that the new hardware has a dual core processor.  I confirmed this by disabling "Run with multiple threads" and now the program works fine.  What I need to know now is how to disable the same setting in a built EXE file, since as far as I know the "Run with multple threads" setting only affects execution in the Labview Dev environment.
    Thanks for any help,
    Dave

    Greg McKaskle once posted that using a non-reentrant (VI is NOT re-entrant) wrapper VI to make the calls to the dll will prevent simultaneous execution of the dll.
