Not Uninstalli​ng Anymore on 6.1 App builder

I have a VI that I have been turning into an application. When I would build a new app and install, it would uninstall first.
Now, for some reason, it does not uninstall previously installed apps but just adds to them. Is there a setting in the application builder that controls this?

Hi,
If you do want to uninstall the old executable, then you want to make sure that you are NOT generating a new product code every time you ubild a new executable. When you are in the Application Builder >> Installer Settings >> Properties, make sure that you are keeing the same product code (do not press the product code Generate button). The old executable should now uninstall first before installing the new executable.
For more information, refer to KB 2LJBQPO9. New Installer Uninstalling Old LabVIEW Built Executable Before Installing Newer Versio....

  • App builder does not update changes to folio

    I've been trying to update a single edition app (prior to submitting to the app store) but each time I update the Folio and build a new version, I see only the previous folio with no alterations. It seems that app builder just recreates the original folio no matter what changes I make. I've tried updating all articles in the folio, have deleted and reuploaded the articles with changes. I'm confident the new information is in the DPS online system but the data does not seem to make it to the app builder. Anyone come across this? Have I missed something?

    Hi Neil
    Thanks for that information, that does explain the situation.
    I personally have a CC subscription though the client I am developing the app for does not, hence the serial number. It should be no problem for me to generate another app using my own account. Having said that, this was not my understanding of how the single edition serial number worked. I was under the impression that the serial number was not considered redeemed until Apple had accepted the app which implies that it would be possible to generate further versions should amendments be required.
    As an ACI in various Adobe applications and a professional trainer and production consultant it does concern me that this information was not made more clear by Adobe.
    Anyway, this should get things sorted for now so thanks again for responding so quickly. Much appreciated.
    Regards
    Scott

  • Keep asking a serial number when downloading the app via DPS App Builder

    I've already created an app via InDesign and DPS App Builder, but the program don't let me download the app! It says I have to activate the produt with a serial number, but since I bought a Creative Cloud membership, I don't have any number. Any one know what can I do to make it work?
    Here's the prints with the messages

    Make sure that you follow Creative Cloud workflow by clicking on Create App from Folio Builder Panel. Also your delete your current build, reinstall DPS App Builder and Try again. If you do not have the delete button in your App builder, let us know.

  • Error "Requires authentification" in DPS App Builder

    Hi everybody.
    WHat is the cause of the error "Requires authentification" when trying to start DPS App Builder ?

    GREAT NEWS !!!
    We connected our acrobat.com account with Safari.
    On our dashboard when we had clicked on DPS App Builder on the left, Safari offered to save us from Apple Developer account !!!!
    And when this recording was made, DPS App Builder no longer ask any questions !!
    When we connected with Firefox on our acrobat.com account and we clicked on DPS App Builder, any proposed registration had been sought by Firefox.
    Effectively, we had not yet registred our company with Apple Developer.
    So, the problem seems to be in the registration with Apple, and apparently, DPS App Builder doesn't want to be launched if this registration is not yet made.
    Well, now DPS App Builder works normally
    Thanks for your help.
    I hope that this discussion can help someone else who will be blocked with DPS App Builder.
    (PS : can you inform me if this blocking is known in Adobe DPS development team ?)

  • App Builder: unable to Sign In

    We are not able to Sign In to DPS App Builder with all of our "DPS App Builder" accounts. We have the problem on all stations.

    Thanks

    Yes Dashboard is also fine here.
    It could be that the alarm clock will be a little earlier today for some technic guys in Seattle

  • Updating my .ipa in DPS App Builder for testing is not working

    Hi there,
    I've build my .ipa file in DPS App Builder for testing on my iPad before I publish it to the app store. No problem. I tested it and saw some modifications to make. I made the changes on my folio, updated it in the folio builder of indesign (on the cloud). Then I get back to DPS App Builder and rebuild an .ipa file from the "Manage" and "Modify" windows, it download and test my certifates, seems to work ok. Then I've created the new .ipa file (after erasing the old one on my desktop and iTunes) but when I synch it back on my iPad it's not updated. It's still the first version of my folio without the changes.
    I tried to create a new app from the beginning but the single edition serial number does not work anymore. So my only solution is to update my folio, right? But what is the right way to do it? Am I missing something? I didn't find any answer in the step by step guide about that.
    Or is it possible to delete completly the first version in DPS App Builder to recreate it without losing my single edition serial number as I didn't submit it to Apple yet?
    Do I have something to do in the Folio Producer?
    Thanks for your help.
    Julien.

    Single Edition Serial is one time use thus modification is not possible from your end directly in case you wish to use the same serial number. For such cases you need to contact DPS Support, who can get an approval on a serial number reset after reviewing the need.
    In this case, I'll take this offline with you in reference to forum post # http://forums.adobe.com/message/5597607.

  • Error when starting DPS App Builder - Application not found

    WTF folks.
    This morning I open my document (CS5) and it says I have to update my folio tools (needless to say i hate it to be forced to do an update before I can start working).
    Well, I do an update, both tools (Folio Builder and Producer Tools).
    Now there seem to be some changes, I cant refresh my folio via menu anymore. When choosing the new "build app"-option I get an error :
    "An error occured while starting DPS App Builder. The DPS App-Builder Application was not found" (translated).
    German original version: "Beim Starten von DPS App Builder ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Die DPS App Builder-Anwendung wurde nicht gefunden."
    Any Solutions? Where to get the mysterious "App-Builder Application?"
    edit: refresh is now only possible inside the folio it seems.

    App Builder is nothing but a new name to Viewer Builder. Download it from DPS Dashbaord.

  • Web.show_document does not open browser anymore

    We upgraded our production database over the weekend from 10g to 11g. When it was still 10g, our Forms application used to open a PDF embedded in IE. After moving to 11g, it does not open IE anymore and shows no error messages. Clicking the button with the web.show_document command does nothing. Our test database is also 11g but does not have this problem. What could have gotten wrong?

    I can't explain why it seems to started failing all of a sudden. We often hear comments like this only to later discover that either someone else made changes of which you are unaware or possbily a software update occurred automatically. For example, the JRE version may have been auto-updated.
    As for recoding in an alternative fashion, it will be difficult for me to say specifically because I don't know the app nor do I know your needs. The biggest, and it isn't all that big, deal will be to identify from where the pdf being opened comes from. In other words, does it already exist on the client machine or is it downloaded to the client from the/a server? Also important to know is whether or not the file name is known or not.
    So, if you want to change the code, first figure out how you want the application to complete the task. Here are my suggestions:
    Suggestion 1.
    <blockquote>If the file (pdf in your case) originally resides on a remote server, then leave it there. The document can be opened using a direct url to the file on the remote server. For example:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/somepath/my.pdf','_blank');If the file lives within the Forms directories, you can even use a relative path rather than the fully qualified one above. For example, if the files live in \forms\java\foo then you can do this:
    -- The exact entry may differ slightly depending on which
    -- Forms version you are using and where you locate the files
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/forms/java/foo/my.pdf','_blank');This makes the application a little more flexable given that you would not need to change the app code if the server name changed. Once the file has been opened on the client side, whatever pdf reader the end-user is using will offer a "Save" option. So if they choose to save the file locally, they can do so as they desire.</blockquote>
    Suggestion 2.
    <blockquote>If, for whatever reason, the file is downloaded to the client or just happens to already exist on the client, you can use WebUtil's CLIENT_HOST (or WEBUTIL_HOST.HOST) command to open the file locally. There are several ways to do this and which method you choose will depend on a few factors. For example, are all the client machines Windows based? I will assume, for this example that the client machines are Windows based. And, because I like to write code as generically as possible, here is a way to open documents on Windows without the need to know which application normally handles it. In other words, you don't need to know that it will be Adobe Acrobat that opens pdf files or that MS Word will open doc files.
    -- In this example, the value of myPathAndFile is the path and filename.
    -- For example, myPathAndFile := 'C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\Documents\foo.pdf';
    CLIENT_HOST('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL '|| myPathAndFile);This is a bit of an old school way of accomplishing the task, but it is very effective and flexiable. Alternatively, you could use CLIENT_HOST to directly call the file, but this may not always work. For example:
    CLIENT_HOST('C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\Documents\foo.pdf');</blockquote>

  • My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

    My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • Unlock slide bars are not showing up anymore...

     I recently noticed that unlock slide bars that were originally on my DX are not showing up anymore.  When I wake the phone up it goes directly to the home screen.  Anyone know why or have this issue?

    Do you have an app called No Lock? If not try a battery pull and see if that helps.

  • Iphoto is not showing faces anymore.

    Hello everyone.
    For some reason, my Iphoto is not showing faces anymore. All faces I've cataloged are still there, but it shows only the names. And there are many more others to identify, but It's impossible, because the menu shows only black thumbnails.
    All the other features of the app are working fine and all my pictures are shown on the other menus, like "events" or "albuns" for example.
    What can I do to solve this problem?
    I have already updated to Iphoto 11, my OS is Mountain Lion (last update 10.8.2).
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #2 to rebuild the thumbnails.  It may several attempts.

  • MacBook Pro NOT sleeping properly anymore, and getting hot.

    My MacBook Pro does not sleep properly anymore, and gets really really hot, anytime I send it to sleep either by closing it or by selecting "sleep" from the menu. It also loses all its battery really fast while on this state (even faster than while being awake and being heavily used).
    It started a while ago only, or at least it was not there from the begining. I had never before had to put off a MacBook Pro, except while flying... I always just close them and they sleep after a few seconds; BUT I can not do like that anymore with my new MacBook Pro... I have to save, close and shut down... then turn on, open my apps, and open my files... its not something to be happy of... I'm very sad with this problem and I have been unable to find the reason for the sudden change.
    Please I need help with this.

    An additional detail I forgot to mention:
    Everytime I tell my MBP to sleep, or just close it, the computer does not seem to go off (because of the levels of the sound of the HD and of the fan), though the screen goes off correctly.
    Now, the strange part is that everytime I "wake it", the screen goes on immediately, asking for my password, and after inputing it correctly the screen goes COMPLETELY OFF for 2 seconds, before "coming back normally".

  • Context Help window is not displaying any information in Stand Alone App

    The context help window displays the vi description, as desired) when running in the development environment.  However after building the Stand Alone app, while the I can open the context help window using Ctl-H or the front panel  menu Help , the help window in empty.  The mouse cursor changes to a "hand" while hovering over the icon pic in the upper right hand corner of the Front Panel but does not invoke any change in the help window.
    I am using the same PC for development and check out of the Stand Alone app.
    Any ideas out there?
    Mike

    Mike,
    Yes, you should be able to zip it or just change the extension and we can change it back. In the mean time I have replicated what you are talking about with a simple executable. However, I think this might be expected behavior. After all, your executable is not a VI anymore. You can also make a product suggestion to have this changed.

    KarenHimmel,
    iMovie ’11 is not programmed to come with all Macs — it didn’t come with my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Presuming that your Mac is newer than mine, have you checked to see if you can download iMovie ’11 gratis from the Mac App Store?
