"problem installing LabVIEW Interface Generator"

Hello,
I am running labview 7.1, windows xp sp2.
I am interested in trying out the new labview interface generator, but something seems to be going wrong on installation.
I download and run the executable, it unpackages a bunch of stuff pretty fast, then it starts unpackaging an "MDSPlus" package that takes a very long time (20 minutes). Then the MDSplus install wizard comes up, I press ok/next. Then another very long wait while it installs, then finally a message saying MDSplus installation complete, click close to exit which I do. Then that wizard goes away, as does the extracting zip dialog. No errors, everything seems fine.
But then when I open labview, there is no change: same old tools under tools/instrumentation. There is no "interface generator" on the list produced by add/remove programs (top level or under National Instruments). The only thing added is MDSplus.
Have attempted several times, rebooted, etc. Still no new tools.
Thanks in advance

Hi TR:
Thanks for your patience.   I think we (at NI) started barking up the wrong tree. I went back to your original post and notice you said things like MDSplus, 20 minute install time, etc.   I'm wondering if this is something as simple as you are running the wrong installer. The self-extracting archive file for the LabVIEW Interface Generator tool is named "driverctolv.exe".   Is this what you downloaded and are running? If not, please go back to the web site:
https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nigb.guestbook?code=GB_INFOLVINSTDRIVER&lang=US&gb_prof_id=4982&scode=...
Fill in the info again, select "Continue" to get to the next page. If you are running Internet Explorer, right-click on the "Download the utility for LabVIEW 7.1" link and select "Save Target As...". You should see the filename at this point. Verify that it indeed has the name listed above.   After download then run the extracting archive. The installer should take no more than a minute or two to install (no where near 20 minutes) and the dialogs should not indicate MDSplus.
I did a few Google and other searches on MDSplus. It seems that there are VI wrappers around MDSPlus libraries. So, maybe you are also using this product separately?
If, for some reason, you are indeed launching the driverctolv.exe and somehow the MDSplus installer is being launched, we really need to take a totally different approach to problem solving. But, maybe you can confirm before we go down that path.
Again, thanks for your patience.

Problems Installing LabVIEW

Problems Installing LabVIEW Run-Time Engine for Ubuntu 11.04
I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and its community, but have been pleasantly surprised with how easy troubleshooting has been. Unfortunately, I've spent the last two days trying to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, but keep coming up short.
I've tried a number methods from the following threads to no avail:
The problem I'm having now is that despite having the ia32-libs, here is what comes up:
Input: "sudo alien - k --scripts labview-2009-rte-9.0.1-1.i386.rpm"
Response: "labview-2009-rte-9.0.1-1.i386.rpm is for architecture i386; the package cannot be built on this system".
Alien is required because Ubuntu isn't compatible with the .rpm format.
Your help would be immensely appreciated since we use LabVIEW programs to display, manipulate and simulate our spectra.

Hey there I'm not too familiar with Ubuntu but you may find some help in the following areas: Linux Users is a group that helps out other linux users. Also labview for linux (Ubuntu 64-bit) my help, people were having a pretty active discussion in there.
I'm guessing you're using the installer from here: LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2011 -Linux?

Will there be problems installing LabVIEW 7.1 if I upgrade to Windows XP?

We have a program in LabVIEW 7.1 running on Windows 2000. We plan to upgrade all of our computers to Windows XP. Will there be any problems installing LabVIEW 7.1 onto Windows XP?

Hi,
No, you won't experience any problems with that upgrade. LabVIEW 7.1 is fully compatible on Windows XP, just as it is on Windows 2000.

Problem Installing LabView

I am trying to install LabView ver. 8.5 for the first time. The installation procedure is telling me to put in the disk labeled National Instruments Device Drivers - August 2008 Disk 2. However I do not have a disk with that name.
I have 4 DVDs, three are labeled NI Developers Suite (disks 1-3) and the other is labeled NI Device Drivers Third Quarter 2008. However, that disk doesn't make the install process happy. How can I fix this??

Hi Rich,
You're not the first to run into this. If you insert DVD 4 you can point the installer to the directory named "DCD-Aug08-2" and it should be happy. It'll almost definitely ask for additional driver discs, but they'll be on DVD 4 every time.
I hope it helps...
Regards,
Jim

Problems installing Labview Drivers

Im trying to use Labview to control a AVR EBF6 B Avtech pulser and a Tektronix TDS 744A scope.
I have a Keithly KPCI 488A GPIB card in a PC running XP.
I downloaded the NI-488.2 2.7 driver from the National Instruments website but am having problems getting NI's Measurement and Automation Explorer to configure the GPIB devices.
The card doesn't show up at all.
It's not a hardware problem i don't think as i have another setup which uses the Keithly GPIB driver which came with the card and this communicates fine with the same pulser and scope.
Am i missing any driver? Or have i installed a wrong one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Installing LabView 8.6, Getting "Internal error 2738"

Vista Sp1 Home
Dell Q6600
VS2005/8 installed
LabView 8.5, TestStand 4.6
I had some trouble getting the TPC-2106 to work becuase I realized I had failed to install the drivers for it to use it as a project target. Vista installed the WMDC (windows mobile device center) program so I can browse the TPC as if it was a HD the second time I rebooted the device. I know I had problems installing LabView the first time a few weeks back, some errors of this and that (I don't recall them exactly).
Now I have tried to re-install LabView 8.6 Pro Dev [NI Developer Suite 4Dvds 2008 3rd Qtr] and got a series of Internal Error 2738's, and the latest one is for the touch screen driver set (2rd item to puke, 3rd of 40 I picked to install all items, so I killed the install). I will try to delete the old install of 8.6 and retry. I saw some stuff about a MS error with vbscript.dll on some other website..?...?
Anyone seen this? Why do I get this?
www.certtech.com

Hi Abales,
The issue seems to be with Microsoft VB Script as you rightly guessed. This doesn’t seem to be an NI issue, so I am not sure if this will fully resolve this.
However when looking into this issue, I came across a Microsoft Forum based on this issue.
They suggest to go START --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Command Prompt. You need to run this as an Administrator. To do this you need to right click on the Command Prompt at select Run as administrator.
Once you have done this, type regsvr32 vbscript.dll This will re-register the specific dll that maybe causing the issue.
I hope this helps.

Problems con opcenum after installing LabView 2014

After installing LabView 2014, all other OPC compliant software (Matlab with the OPC Toolbox, Wonderware SCADA, OPC Demo Client from Softing, ...) previously installed on my PC (Windows 7) started to have problems in browsing OPC Servers. They were unable to connect with opcenum service for listing installed OPC servers. After manually unregistering opcenum and registering again as a service (and cleaning the windows register), everything was solved.
So I guess there is a bug with the labview installer that mess things up with the opcenum service. I haven't found anything on the web but in case anyone has the same problem, this is the "manual" solution. Anyway, I would like to ask NI to revise the problem.
Regards,
Jesús

Hello,
I haven´t heard of this issue with a standard LabView install, however there is a known issue with the standard DSC install. Have you installed DSC 7.1? If so you need to go in and modify the DSC install to uninstall the "Keyboard Filter". The filter causes the computer to hang when it attempts to suspend.

I work in the power conversion industry and do these types of measurements all the time…
Do you want to just measure power quality or create and measure power quality problems?
What hardware are you using?
Power quality analyzer?
Programmable AC power source?
Fast Transient Generator?
Here is an example of what I do.
To create PQ problems I use a California Instruments AC source set to nominal power for the unit under test. Using Labview I program several transients consisting of fixed and random duration dropouts and surges. I also use a Schaffer Fast Transient Burst Generator to apply high frequency noise bursts directly onto power lines.
For measuring power quality I use a Voltech PM3000A power analyzer and Labview to measure everything from voltage, current, and frequency, to harmonics and %THD

I need to install LabView RT on a cFP-2010, but I only have LabView RT 2012 (need 8.5.1???)

Hello,
I have a cFP-2010 module that I got ahold of which has a software problem. When I got into the module through MAX, I got a message that said there was no software loaded and that the module was operating in safe-mode. I rebooted the cFP-2010 in user directed safe-mode and reformatted the disk. According to online documentation, the latest version of LabView RT that will work on a cFP-2010 is LabView RT 8.5.1. The only version of LabView RT that I have to work with is 2012. How do I load 8.5.1 on this module to get it working again? Is there a download available somehwere? When I go to load software on the module in MAX, there is no option for installing LabView RT... which appears to be what is required. Thanks!

Hello mdlund0,
If you do not have LabVIEW 8.5.1 and LabVIEW Real-Time 8.5.1 installed on your computer, then you will not see the option in MAX to push that software to your device. In order to optain that software, you will most likely need to contact your account representative. You can reach the NI customer service line at (800) 531-5066.
In terms of version compatibility, newer versions of LabVIEW are not supported on the cFP-2010 because of the limited memory available; the older software does not take as much space. This does not mean that you will be unable to use newer versions, just that the behavior is unsupported and the configuration not recommended. I would also like to inform you that you can interface with a FieldPoint device without having Real-Time installed on that device. You can both install software and pull data programmatically without having Real-Time. Please see these references for more information:

Developer Error when Installing Labview 8.5

Hi there,
When I was installing Labview 8.5 directly from the CD, I had error message 1311. Following the recommendation posted on the discussion forum, I copied the CD to the C drive and installed Labview 8.5 successfully. However, when I tried to follow the same procedure when installing the device driver CDs,i.e. by first installing the CD to a folder in the C drive and installing it by launching setup.exe, I had the following error:
"Developer error. The following errors were found in your ini file: 1 Specified file not found. [MSIEngine] WinNTPath = SupportFiles\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe Correct the ini file and try again"
When I checked the setup.ini file, under the [MSIEngine] entery, I found the following text:
"[MsiEngine]
WinNTPath=bin\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
RequiredVersion=3.0.0.0
CommandLine=/passive /norestart"
How can I correct the ini file? Should I change the WinNTPath to the one generated by the error message? Will this solve the problem? Your help would be very much appreciated.
Regards.

it seems to be very very hard to install Oracle 9i on Debian Etch, I found this on the net :
> Is it possible to install Oracle 9i on Debian etch?
So far I have had no luck due libraries requirement.
I appreciate any suggestions.Officially no.
Unofficially, you should be able to with a loooot of tweaking. The
secret is in the "compat" libraries. Basically Oracle is a binary
distribution and relies on gcc296 - not gcc3. You should also get your
own jdk install. Get 1.1.8 (yep - good old one) and use it to run the
installer. With Oracle9i there's no gurantee that the jdk in the
installer will run on your distro. Luckily you can override the jdk with
your own.
If anyone knows a simple way to do it, I'd like to know, but I'd rather give up about this idea
It seems to be to tricky for my poor Linux knowledge

How can i install labview in a AMD64Linux machine?

Hello:
I'm a linux user, I have Debian installed and maybe changing for Suse or Mandrake due to the NI's preference on those two OS. But I have only one question: is it possible to install LabVIEW in a linux that's native AMD64, this means, that if there's a 64-bit Linux Version of LabVIEW?
Thanks for reading this.

Hi panthell, your concerns have solid bases. If you want to Learn LabVIEW and get full functionality, I will suggest using Windows. But if you want to use Linux you will find less trouble with the 32 bit OS.
The 32 bit Suse can work with 64bits as if there were 32. So it could work, but you won’t have all the functionality or will have to deal with more small problems. Also there is a version of 64 bits of Suse, it has some compatibility mode to run programs as 32 bits systems. Using this final option you may have the core functionalities running but might have trouble with NI drivers. Still using Linux 64 bit will have some of the limits the Linux and the 64bits.
http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/suse9.0/adminguide-9.0/node14.html
LabVIEW as it works on a Runtime can be used in many platforms the officially supported are the ones that we had made tests and are confident they will work

Blue screen after installing labview 8

I recently installed Labview 8 Professional Dev. Suite on to a Win. XP SP2 system. The image before installation was stable. After the installation and reboot, the system blue screens (I have been unable to read the exact message on the blue screen) and reboots. I was able to boot if I selected "using last know configuration" option in the Windows XP boot options, indicating that the problem is driver/registry related. After I use the last know configuration, I get an error message "nidevmon.exe - Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I tried to repair all of the installed NI products without any success.
Device manager shows all devices installed properly without any conflicts.
Please advise on how I can resolve this installation conflict.
Thanks.
--Jeff

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. When my system boots up I receive the "nidevmon.exe could not be initialized" error message. When I try to manually start the program after startup, I still get the same message. I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] and have also updated my system with the latest patches. I have the ni USB-6008 device. My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40, 1.5Ghz Centrino, with 512MB ram, and 80GB hd. I have installed labview 7.1 and then NI-DAQmx 8.0 that came with the card.
Furthermore, the hardware does not succesfully install on my system. After I install the software, reboot and plug the usb device in, the hardware wizard pops up. However, in the end, I get "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I suspect this has to do with the nidevmon.exe not initializing. The ni hardware appears to be fine, I have successfully installed the devices in another system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ni-daqmx 8.0 software several times, and even downloaded version 7.5 from the web, however this did not solve the problem either. I would appreciate any suggestions..
Thanks,
Arash

Problem Installing Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit on Windows 7 Enterprise 64

Hi,
I am having problems installing the Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit installation on my Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise machine. The installer does all the checks successfully, it gets me to summary screen and I press finish to start the installation. It then opens the installation mask where it first says Checking whether Central Inventory is locked by another OUI session. After that it very briefly shows Central Inventory is not locked and then the window immediately dissapears with no other errors. I tried installing at my colleague's W7 Enterprise 64 machine and it behaves a little differently but with the same result. Basically on his machine it never even opens the Install mask, when pressing finish from the Summary it just disappears and never starts installation. I tried installing 11g R1 and that loads the first mask and when i press next it just dissapears. I basically need an oracle client 64 bit installation on my machine deperately. Please help. Thanks
Alex

One user above reported installing the 64 bit odbc drivers and then the 32 bit drivers. How did you do that? I'm a neophyte to this.
I'm trying to get a 32 bit ODBC oracle driver to work on a server 2008 R2 machine. I downloaded the 11gR2 x64 client from oracle. The install process makes no mention of 32bit vs 64bit installation. After running the instalation I can run the ODBC administrator and generate a DSN for oracle. When I run the 32 ODBC administrator there is no oracle driver available except the microsoft driver for oracle. When I select that it says that I need to install oracle.
I had at first tried to install 11g instant client. However that didn't work for the 2008 R2 machine. It complained about some registry error when I tried to run the ODBC install program. I need to get it to work for a customer asap.
