Hi. Try this thread.
While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Write Read XML Files not made in LabVIEW

I have an application that needs to be able to write and read xml files. My application needs to be able to save the files in such a format that an outside program can use the values saved in the xml file. On a system restart I need to be able to read in the values that were saved back into the program and populate the multicolumn list box it came from. My issue really is just reading it back in from the file.
I could create a way of writing the xml file with the information in the format needed for the other program. The problem really is, how do I handle reading in, and then populating controls with the information provided in the xml file with the xml file not in the LabView format.
The xml controls that have been provided by NI are not usable in this case.
Any suggestions or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of the help ahead of time.

Try LabXML.

Rename the file name of a Vault (not the Vault name)

I have a Maxtor Sahred Storage Plus and I am now planning to use it for backing up Aperture. Yes, I now that Aperture is not made for back up on a network, but it should be possible according to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2245775&#2245775
My problem is that the filename of the vault is either to long or contains characters which the Maxtor do not accept so I can not copy the vault from Finder as suggested in the above thread. My question is if someone now if it is OK to rename the filename of the Vault?

Hi,
you can't.
Except you save the file under a different name before you send it.

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!
Best Regards,

Sharepoint 2013, event receiver to rename files not working

I coded an event receiver (ItemAdding) that renames for example a .txt file to a .text file (it does not matter the extensions, it is just an example). In my code what I do is to an SPFile.MoveTo operation. It works fine in SP2010 but when I execute
the same code in SP 2013, when the operation is done using IE I get the text "Sorry, something went wrong" and then "File Not Found".
In the logs this is what I see:
12/23/2013 15:48:49.16 w3wp.exe (0x17B0)                       0x0AC8 SharePoint Foundation

It's clear that the Sharepoint upload code tries to do things with the original name and it does not realize that it was renamed.
Can I do something from my event receiver code like using the AfterProperties to bypass this error?
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
The issue still persists. Here is the code:
        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                try
                    OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
                    string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                    SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                    SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = false;
                    string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                    szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                    string szNewFileName;
                    if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                    else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                    else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                    if (properties.ListItem != null)
                        properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                        properties.ListItem.Update();
                    spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = true;
                    base.ItemAdded(properties);
                    OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

File not found when trying to call a dll on LabVIEW Real Time machine

I have a dll called "DLLRTTEST" that I've written, and have succesfully called on my host machine. I'm now attempting to call this dll from a vi that is located on my real time computer. Currently I get an "Error 7 occurred at Call Library Function Node in DLLRTTEST.vi." message upon execution
In the attached screenshot I'm trying to ensure that the vi I'm running is in fact located on the real time system. I then use a "Check if File or Folder Exists.vi" to confirm that the dll that I'm about to call does exist on the real time system as well. However, I still receive an "error 7 file not found" error from the Call Library Function Node.
Any help is appreciated.

As nathand already mentioned, depending on your C toolchain your DLL will depend on other DLLs. Usually the according msvcrtXX.dll that matches your Visual C version, if you use Visual C, other runtime DLLs if you use a different C environment. These runtime DLLs are even necessary if you do not call anything in any of your functions, since the DLL makes various initialization steps when it gets loaded and that references some C runtime functions nevertheless. Compiling and linking the DLL with static C runtime is usually also not a clean solution since the linked in C runtime will then reference Windows APIs that are not available on LabVIEW RT.
Depending on your version of LabVIEW RT you will have some mscvrtxx.dll files in your system directory but it will be an older one than from the latest Visual Studio version. If you can compile your DLL with that Visual Studio version then you should be fine, but could possibly run into new problems if you later upgrade to a newer LabVIEW RT version. Installing the C runtime distributables from newer Visual Studio versions is unfortunately also not a solution, since it references many (undocumented) Windows API functions that are not available in LabVIEW RT.

Problem with Vision Builder and LabView: Error -1074395995, File not found

I have created an inspection with Vision Builder AI 2009 SP1. In it I load some pictures from the HDD and run some checks over it. It works fine. Then I have migrated it to LabView 2010, I get a message that the migration is successfull, but when I run the VI on LabView I get a fail status. I have been checking my program and I have found and error when I try to load the picture from file: Error -1074395995 occurred at IMAQ ReadImageAndVisionInfo
Possible reason(s): IMAQ Vision: File not found.
But I am not sure which file it refers to. At first I thought it was the picture I wanted to load, but I have checked the path and it is correct, so maybe it refers to another thing. What puzzles me most is that it works perfectly on Vision Builder and I have changed nothing in LabView, maybe it is a problem with the migration. Any clues?

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Put a break point here and see what the path is and compare that with what Vision Builder AI is using (described where to find this in the previous post). You could find where this global is used to make debugging easier.
Hope this helps,
Brad

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Keep getting "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file"

ugh i feel so bad cause i keep posting questions and it seems like i'm not doing anywork. let me start of by saying i spent the last 3 hours searching the forum and google and continually testing and nothing works
basically i used lv's built in application builder to build a .exe file so i can run the program from any computer. so i successfully compile, install lv 8.0 (was compiled on 8.0) RTE onto computer and try to run and keeps giving me "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file". when i create the exec, lvanlys.dll is automatically put in a support folder so i don't know what the problem is
i've tried moving around lvanlys.dll to diff directories including RTE, adding missing files as dynamic VIs, adding separate files into project instead of lib, and combinations of them none work. reinstalled RTE. one build the errors i got was "to fix this error must use full development version". i don't really understand what that means...i have to install the entire VI instead of just the RTE?
another thing, the computer that this doesn't work on originally had 6.1 installed. i just installed the 8.0 RTE engine over it. i have tried replacing lvanlys.dll and didn't work. tested with couple other computers without 6.1 and it worked fine. computer i am on now has 6.1 and 8.0 and it works fine. so i'm stumped
//EDIT: oh i forgot, a lot of threads say "create a installer". is that just using the application builder builtin to create an exec or what exactly does it mean?
Message Edited by unknown00 on 06-07-2007 04:18 PM

Some questions:
Did you install only the 24MB runtime engine of the 87MB version of RTE 8.0? You need to install the big thing.
Is it possible you are including the 6.1 version of lvanlys.dll instead of 8.0?
In 8.0, Builing an executable and creating an installer is both done on a LabVIEW project.
Building the executable does just that.
If you built an installer, you package everything up for distribution, optionally include the RTE and other support files, etc. Later running the installer, will put everything in its right location, e.g. the executable in the "program files" hierarchy, a shortcut in the start menu, etc.

What is causing this? The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 4". This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley. Help!!!

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”.

We cannot help without additional information:
Are you running your code
...in the development system?
...as a standalone application?
...deployed to an embedded target?
If it is a built application, do you explicitly include dynamically called VIs in the build specification?
Who wrote the program? Do you have access to the code?
How is this VI called? Is there sufficient error handling?
Do you manipulate paths as strings or as proper path datatypes with the strip path/build path primitives etc.?
Is it running on the same OS used to develop it ...

D7100, .nef files will not open, batch rename naming files differently

I recently purchased the D7100/Nikon and I am having problems opening the nef files in Bridge and Photoshop CS6 (even after updating – Raw 8.4) and also renaming the files. Lightroom 4.4, no problem.
I also tried batch renaming the files, and Bridge is not keeping the .jpg and .nef files consistent as with my old camera (D90). Also, it is creating a new date on the .nef file, rather than keeping it to the day it was shot.
Old way:
20140322_LasVegas_0165.jpg
20140322_LasVegas_0165.nef
NOW:
20140322_LasVegas_0165.jpg
20140413_LasVegas_0166.nef
I do use the DNG converter to convert the .nef files, and keep all file names consistent (.jpg, .nef, .dng).
Is something lacking in the updates for Bridge/Photoshop for this camera to view the .nef files? Is there anything I can do in Bridge to fix the Batch Renaming? I really do not want to go to each .nef file and rename each one individually. Help!

You probably forgot to include the extension .dng or renamed with an extra dot (.) in the filename. Be surr to have only 1 dot with the three letter extension dng at the end (. dng)
You can use Bridge for that again to rename and use the dng extension
