Project Build Installer Properties Slow to load, (Maximum vi size)

I have a LabVIEW Project with 450Mbytes of source code, and drivers. The Project was originality in LabVIEW 2009. I upgraded to LabVIEW 2011.
Now the Project Build > Installer Properties Menu is about 10x slower than was in LV 2009.
I've done a mass compile, resolved all error messages in the Project, yet 2011 is still 10x slower than 2009.
The 2011 Project will build an functional exe, and a functional installer given enough time (like 15 minutes). During that time the computer is locked up, no other applications are functional.
The Computer is XP, dual Core, 2.5GHz, 4Gbytes Ram, 4Gbyte Page File.
The NI Support Desk is saying (quote) >>>> seem that the requirements for LabVIEW 2011 are different than the requirements for LabVIEW 2009 <<<<<
Suggestions ???

Does the procedure take 30 minutes or 15 minutes (first post)? Also, what is it about the installer build spec that requires further modification after you modify your exe build spec? If the exe is included in the installer, the installer build will automatically re-preview the included exe to get an updated list of files to include next time the installer is built. So unless you need to modify something about the installer spec and not the included source files, no edits would normally be required after changing your exe (or other included source files).
Keep in mind, the previewing of the exe will take about as long as it takes to build the exe -- it's computing a list of the files that would be built without actually creating the files. A data point of interest is how much longer it takes your exe to build, comparing 2009 to 2011. Does your exe take 10 times longer to build in 2011? Longer exe build times mean longer preview operations in Installer Builder.
Another thing to check is which distributions you're including on the Additional Installers page. Are more distributions being included in the 2011 build? Did the distributions change significantly in size since 2009?

Flash Builder 4 super slow when Workspace and Project is on Network Drive

Hi I was wondering if maybe it is not common practice to create a workspace and project in a Network Drive? When I do this Flash Builder runs extremely slow ( build workspace slow, saving slow, code hinting slow, undo slow, etc, etc, etc). Very painful!
When I place the same project locally on my C drive everything runs fine. So should I not be running things off the network? I would really like to since all my files are on the network with backup system. Can anyone offer some advice? Or maybe I need to optimize something? Thanks
- D

Hi.
Having your workspace and project on a network drive is not recommended as Flash Builder writes and reads a lot from the workspace and that will be slow.
A version control system such as svn or git with a repository hosted on your network drive should be perfectly fine. (You only take the hit when you check in and check out)

Oracle installer scripts in Delivery wizard is disabled in Project builder

Hi,
I have oracle forms 6i installed on my system. However, I was trying to builld installer scripts for my project. So I open the deliver wizard in Project builder. Select all the parameters, like project name/directory etc.and then when I reach the option of creating installer scripts, it is disabled while the others like,
Deliver to local staging, Deliver to a remote staging etc is enabled.
Any ideas, why I the installer scripts are disabled.?
thnx
S

Soe more.
I read in the Oracle manual under the Guidelines for Building Applications
in the section Managing Your Application the following statement about project builder:
"Remember that you can automate the running of test scripts just as you can automate actions associated with the modules in your application.
How would one do this???
Thanks!

Premiere Pro CC locking up and very slow to load bigger projects

I am having a problem with premirepro cc locking up and very slow to load bigger projects.
Windows 8 machine

I am having the EXACT same issue and now we are WAY behind deadlines. We have Adobe for Teams on 3 computers, all are HPZ820, Dual Proc with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz, 32 GB RAM, Dual Video Cards Quadro 6000 4GB, Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches. Everything worked on the first release of 2014 but last week there was an "update" to Premiere. Since this update, projects work for a short period. When you start a new project and add footage, you can scrub the footage and play the footage with no issue. But the more assets you add, simple Titles, it slowly starts to fail. Playing the timeline starts and stops and then finally the end result is you can't even play the timeline. The Program window is frozen. I have even tested starting a new project, adding assets one by one but no matter what, I get the same results.

Flex Builder 3 Error: Unable to load SWC

Hi,
I am trying to use the YahooMaps component (YahooMaps.swc) in
my application. I have included it in the build path of my
application.
Steps followed:
1. Right-click on the project and choose Properties or open
the Project menu and choose Properties.
2. In the project properties dialog, choose Flex Build Path.
3. Select the Library path tab, and press the Add SWC...
button.
4. Selected the YahooMap.swc
I still get "Unable to load SWC: YahooMap.swc". It is an AS
3.0 component. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your reply.
I have followed the documentation on the site you provided.
All I have done so far is:
1. Create a new flex project in Flex Builder 3
2. Once the project is created, I try to add the YahooMap.swc
to my Flex build path.
3. Once I add the YahooMap.swc, it fails with the error
"Unable to load YahooMap.swc" in Flex Builder 3.
4. FB3 does not recognize YahooMap when I try to import it in
AS3.
import com.yahoo.maps.api.YahooMap;
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does it have to do
something with the version Y! has used to build the YahooMap.swc
and Flex Builder 3?
Thanks
Sumit

Cannot view installer properties

I am currently unable to build an installer for my projects. I am also unable to view the properties of installers that I created in other projects. When trying to view the installer properties from past projects the hour glass shows for a few seconds and then nothing. When trying to create a new installer I only get a message that says I must first save the project before you can create a build specification. If I acknowledge this it creates the installer icon under the build specification directory but will not allow me to do anything with it.
Any help with this problem would be great.
Thanks

Duffman,
Yes this is a very strange problem. I have the LabVIEW 8.0 Full developement package with Application Builder installed correctly and have verified the license is activated.
To answer your questions:
1) I have been able to build installers in the past, just last week. From the last time I was able to build an installer there have been no significant changes to my PC. I have just create many new vis and have not added any new software.
2) I tried building a new vi and can build an exe but I cannot build an installer for that exe.
3) When I open a project that I have created that has an installer, when I right click to get the properties I get the hour glass for a few seconds and then the pointer returns but I do not get the window that displays the properties. I do not get an error and I am still able to continue using LabVIEW afterwards. When I try to make an Installer for a new project like I said it places the Icon but when I double-click it I get the hour glass for a few seconds and then the pointer returns. Again I can close the project or continue using LabVIEW. No error is reported by LabVIEW.
4) The executables that I have built appear to function as designed and they run just fine on my machine.
5) I have gone through Windows control panel to do a Change/Verify/Re-install installation of LabVIEW to verify the installations of the files again. This is also suppose to fix the registries of the applications if there is a problem. This did nothing to fix the problem except leave me more frustrated as to what the problem is.

I have done the follwoing:

2) Changed the path to c:\temp
3) Emptied the Cache directories (windows 7, so the one in c:\program files/Nat... and the one in c:\programData
4) Installed .NET framework 4.0
5) Removed the VISA runtime package from the installer
6) unchecked "copy installers to disk" in the build spec
Any ideas?

Jed Davidow,
I have looked through some resources and found that this code sometimes occurs because the source files to include have disappeared from the installer properties window. Please check that your files are still present and in the correct place and try to build the installer again.
Hope this helps!

Reports that are slow to load

I am adding a report in my project at the vb.net 2005 but they are slow to load. What is the best way to do this task to be loaded into faster?.
I am using the Crystal Report version 2008 with Visual Studio.Net 2005 in a Windows application.
The evidence I have done so much in development environment as user stations, in both situations the burden of reporting slow.
I am adding the reports through a Crystal Report Viewer
Very thanks and greetings from Costa Rica.

Look at where and as I put the code Ludek
Private Sub Frm_Reporte1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim Reporte As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
        Reporte.Load("
glauco\Reportes\Ventas 08\Vta - Sugerido Pedidos.rpt")
    End Sub
However, the form still takes 6 seconds to load and reporting over 2 seconds.
I said, I'm only using a CrystalReportViewer in which I have directed the report from the server by selecting Properties from the menu ReporSource of CrystalReportViewer.
Do not know if this will have something to do. Honestly, I have worried about this situation because I have everything ready to take the project as soon as possible.
Again, thank you very helpful.

What DAQmx files needed to build installer?

I have compiled an executable and am trying to compile an installer for a LV8.5 program. On the client computer, it must communicate with DAQmx hardware. Build parameters automatically include a path (almost to) LV 58. runtime. I want to include DAQmx 8.8 and do not know exactly what files (directories) need to be referenced. v8.8 resides on the development computer. If someone has a build that includes DAQmx, could you take a snapshot of the include box and post it here?
Labview 8.5
Meas Studio 2008

It sounded so easy when I read it that I was actually excited. But.... I checked the box for DAQmx and pointed it toward the ProductCache directory. LV was not happy about that. It requires a file not a directory so I got an error message but it continued. When I clicked build
it asked for the DAQmx disk. Then it asked for a Measurement Studio 8.5 for VS 2008 disk. How did it even know I had this? What if I didn't? I'm trying to build a Labview program, not MS. Well it sort of allowed me to continue but this is the result.
Also it did not write the DAQmx files to the ProductCache.

Build installer error code -12 while copying distribution

Hello all you helpful forum-goers!
I am having problems building an installer for my product now that I have upgraded to LabVIEW 2010 from 8.5.1. My project has an executable build, and then 3 installer builds which put a different value in the registry indicating the permissions level of the executable: Basic, Full, and Ultimate.
When I try to build the Full version, I get the following error:
CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem.vi

The system cannot find the path specified.
*** Error Details:
Error in MDF API function: _MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem
Windows function FindFirstFile returned an error. Error code: 3
*** End Error Report
Done building deployment
The weird part is the "from" path doesn't exist, but C:\CP356\ does contain my project's files (including some sub-directories). But even if it did, I have no idea why the Ultimate version is referenced when I am building the Full version. I just tried building the Ultimate installer, and got the same error.
Stranger yet, this error goes away if I stop trying to include NI-VISA Runtime 5.0 in the additional installers section of my installer. The only other "additional installer" I have checked is the LabVIEW 2010 Runtime Engine. The VISA Runtime is required for my product, so I can't just leave it unchecked. Another clue is that the VISA Runtime's Installer Source Location is listed as D:\, my DVD drive. But even when I put the Device Drivers DVD in the drive, I get the same error when building.
I've tried looking in the Device Drivers DVD, but it says that the VISA Runtime 5.0 is already installed on my computer; I forget the exact path it listed, but I can get it again if that would help someone. But I couldn't figure out how to change the source location to tell it to get that installer locally.
Based on the posts I've found in this forum for error code -12, I also created a new Build Specification for the Full installer and set all the same options as the previous one, in case something about it got corrupted when I upgraded, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I would very much appreciate any insight anyone has on how to fix or get around this issue!
Thanks,
-Joe
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Paul,
Thanks for the reply! I looked at the knowledge base article, and followed it to the .NET 3.5 install page, and from there to the .NET 4.0 install page (figuring the later version the better), downloaded that and selected to "repair" my .NET 4.0 installation. It looked like it did thing for a while (was something broken? ;-)), but no change to my problem afterwards.
The other item in the article was a particular virus protection software, which I do not use. McAfee anti-virus is installed on my system, but it is controlled by our IT department and therefore is harder to change than usual. It has been installed the entire time I have used LabVIEW on my computer with no problems prior to this, but I will contact them to see if they could put LabVIEW on an exception list anyway next.
Since I couldn't do that immediately, I copied the NI-VISA_Runtime folder off of my Device Drivers DVD onto my desktop, used it to uninstall NI-VISA Runtime 5.0, and then reinstalled it. However, this did not fix the problem, or even change the additional installer properties for that item - it still says the source location is D:\.
Do you have any other suggestions for things I can try? I very much appreciate your assistance!
Thanks,
Joe

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

Project Builder 6.0.5.7.0 woes

Couple of questions....
1. Has anyone used this with Oracle Developer 6i? When I started to put in
all my items then picked tools:delivery wizard, the option to "Deliver
locally and create an Oracle Installer Script" is Greyed out. Any body else
experience this?
2. When I add reports objects (rdf), the node "Reports Builder Document" is
added but no "Reports Builder Executable". Ideas?
THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED (METALINK NOTE)
3. When I click on Ctrl-T or "Build Selection" button on a form, I get an
information dialog: "No items were built". What's up?
4. When I attempt to open a form, right click and select Edit, it opens the
form and can't find referenced objects (or libraries). Should I be placing
ALL SOURCE in one path, with the project file in there too, and then using a
shortcut to startup Project Builder, or putting the path in the registry??
5. The BUILD option for the module type of FMB says "Convert from Text" and
when I try Edit Type, the build Action "display in popup menu" is selected.
However, if I right click a form builder document, I see NO "convert from
text option". I DO get the CONVERT To Text option (The SCRIPT action).
Ironically, both have the same HOTKEY. (which is also used by "c"opy)
6. Why isn't there simply a "Build"/Compile option?
7. How can I specify a different output directory for the BUILT modules.
They are defaulting to the directory containing the project file? I see
this when I turn on Project: Action Preview
mode, the output_file parameter.
8. Also, if I turn this on and Select a Build all, there's NO WAY to stop ALL
OF THE DIALOGS being displayed for each module - what if I want to QUIT in
the middle of this.
Any help appreciated!

Hi Ida
Ensure that your Oracle 9i database instance is up and running.
Also, you must have appropriate settings in your tnsnames.ora for using the Oracle 9i database.

PS CC 2014 very slow to load and operate after 2014.2 update

I updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64bit today. It was working perfectly up to the update. Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use. I have uninstalled PS used the PS Cleaner and reinstalled through CC Desktop. The speed problem remains. Interestingly, 3D is the Menu feature that seems to take the longest to load. In other words, the program eventually loads, but 3D appears 6 or 7 seconds later. I don't know if this is significant. The setup was working fine up to the update.
Grateful for any ideas about what may be the problem and what I can do about it.
My system is a 3770K, with 32Gb ram, x4 SSDs one dedicated to OS and programs and the others to data, and an Asus GTX660 (2Gb) graphics card. I am using the latest driver from the Nvidia site. OS is Windows 7 64bit.
I am getting no error messages - just great sluggishness.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to get some sleep.
Changing "sniffer" made no difference I'm afraid. I have put it back to "sniffer.exe" having tried reopening with "~sniffer" twice with no success.
Resources. The maximum cpu resource used during the period from clicking the desktop icon to the menus in the program becoming usable is 23%.
At the end of the splash screen when "initializing panels" is briefly on the splash screen, the line for the resource meter for the cpu went red and said "not responding" - the red disappeared once the workspace was active:
Do you need anything more?
