Removing older versions of LabVIEW

I have taken over a development machine and updated it to 8.6.1. Can I safely remove all older versions of LabVIEW? (8.2 and 8.5) These older versions seem to be giving me problems with the front pannel on older VIs when I use the 8.6. Thanks.

What kind of problems? If you have problems opening old VIs in 8.6, you might want to keep using the old version until the issue is identified and solved.
(Once you are happy with 8.6, you can uninstall the old versions but it does not hurt to keep them around. For example if you have a very old VI, you might not be able to open it directly in 8.6)

  • Trying to down load itunes 10.4 but it gave an error couldnt remove older version of bonjour... any ideas

    Got a message while down loading Itunes 10.4... couldn't remove older version of bonjour??

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
    Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Cannot remove older version of Apple Update to reinstall Itunes, tried control panel, no help, what do I do

    Message: "Cannot remove older version of Apple Update" when trying to reinstall Itunes. Tried using add remove programs in control panel, no help. Tried installing new quicktime, same message -- what do I do to get Itunes working again on my computer, using Windows xp

    I'm glad I put a smile on your face Stuff like this can drive me nuts.
    As I went to bed last night, I thought the same thing as you, to try a system restore. Otherwise, to answer the rest of your question, in XP, the location of the Update is in your Program Files/Apple Software Update.
    To find the hidden files that may be stopping you from disabling the updater, and doing a clean install, go to:
    My Computer, and on the Menu bar, click Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders/click Apply/OK then double click on your main drive (C:)  then Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/ and delete the Apple computer folder with it iTunes and Preferences.
    Also in that previous views Local Settings/Application Data/Apple (Update Software)and also Apple Computer/iTunes.
    Go back to Documents and Settings (again from C: drive mode) click on All Users/Application Data/Apple and if you open up Installer Cache, you will also see that it has an Apple Updater in it (unless it was uninstalled on the original uninstall). Also from that Application Data window, you will see Apple Computer Folder which has previous iTunes info that needs to be deleted. Some of these folders may be gone, but at least you can check to see, to make sure.
    Here is a link from another post, to confirm or help clear up any of my paths/solutions.
    When you've done all that, restart your PC, and I would run CCleaner  (the free version links are just below the Buy and Download button) just to clean things up, and try your re-install.
    Hope I didn't overwhelm you.

  • Event structures in older versions of labview?

    Can anyone tell me how to create a workaround for a 'value change' event structure in an older version of labview?  I have a student  version of LabVIEW 6i and need to create a queued buffer from each value change.  Thank you.

    James.Morris wrote:
    Ah, you're only one release away from the event structure. That's too bad.
    You're going to have to implement a Polling loop that continuously checks the user inputs. Make sure you add a Wait function to the loop (~100ms) because that will act as your chance for the user to make changes. You can use shift register(s) to keep the previous loop's values and compare to get a bunch of Value Change booleans. If you want a specific case for the specific events, then you can group all of your Value Changes in to an array and act upon the ones that are True via a Case Structure.
    The Event Structure only pulls a single event per loop and has a queue of events to handle for following loops. You might encounter multiple value changes in a single loop if the user clicks fast enough, or you trigger value changes. To avoid losing the trailing events, you should probably have a For loop within the Polling loop that handles all True values. Either that, or have a consumer loop that handles all of your events.
    James, I swear I'm not picking on you today
    You can set the maximum number of events alowed in the event queue per event in the edit event dialog box.  Check box and int fields in the lower right side.
    6.i didn't have a "Value (Signaling)" property- (a subject of some CLAD exam questions not that you suggested it)
    Student editions could not use 6.i events.  From 7.0 or 7.1 through 2011 Student Edition could use but not edit event structures. 2012 and on Event Structures are available in "All Versions" of LabVIEW- at the time.  I haven't looked into the newer license options.
    On to licensing options. (Not a lawyer! consult your Legal Dept!)
    If you are not doing work towards earning a educational certificate you should not be using Student Edition.  And, in some cases (Like working on a student project with commercial investment) not even then!
    The Home Edition is also a new option.  It is intended to enable fast "Proof of Concept" development or development for your sole non-comercial use.
    LabVIEW Full and Professional are for comercial use and have a "Home Use License Agreement" clause attached. If your company owns a LabVIEW License you CAN install a copy on a "Home PC" for the limited use of aiding your employer (who paid for the license) such things would arguably enclude "Training"
    NI is not totally opposed to negotiating "Exceptional" agreements for mutually beneficial reasons.  Youl'd better bring a justification better than "I can't afford it"  Go find some investors and buy a license in that case.  And Yes, until the moderators take this down, I did at one time have a LabVIEW license for exclusively engaging the LabVIEW Community (Forums and NI Sponsored events use only- LAVA was not encluded)  I'm not sure if such a deal could be negotiated in the future.  In Fact, The Home Edition would have been less costly.
     

  • Can we use latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits with older version of LabVIEW core?

    Hi every body
    I'm new to LabVIEW
    I have a question .
    Can we use (indeed install) latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits(for example 2009 or 8.6.1 version) with older version of LabVIEW core(for example LabVIEW 8.6)?
    No problem ?!
    I have LabVIEW 8.6(Evalution) and I want istall Real Time Module 2009.

    I think perhaps 8.6 and 8.6.1 is compatible. But I am 100% sure that 2009 and 8.6.(1) is not downwards compatible
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

    Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

    I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
    I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
    I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
    Hope this works for you.
    Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
    Apple - Are you listening?

  • Should I remove older version s of firefox when newer versions have been uploaded

    I am not aware of a problem , I am simply trying to understand the revisions and whether I need to keep older versions in order to run the newer firefox

    It's not necessary to uninstall anything especially since you aren't using a 4beta version. And there are some serious risks to losing important data that you store if you don't remove older versions very carefully.
    If you decide that you don't like 4.0 you can easily go backwards & reinstall 3.6 without any problems (and without risk of losing data).
    One point though: if you are a bookmark fiend like me, it's a really good idea to back up your bookmarks before you make''' any''' changes to firefox. I'm so obsessive that I back them up constantly (and I don't rely on FF's automatic bookmark-backup process), but that's just me being paranoid from learning the very hard way a long time ago.

  • How do you uninstall older versions of labview

    How do you uninstall older versions of labview and all their components, registries etc?
    Solved!

    If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

  • Can not remove older version on windows 7 PC?

    How do I remove an older version of iTunes on my windows 7 PC? I can not install iTunes unless I do this? Thanx, Dan.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Is it possible to open a VI using an older version of LabVIEW, and if so how?

    As stated in the title.  I have installed all the run-times from lv6 to lv8.6, but cannot open any VIs that have been compiled in a more recent version of LabVIEW.  We run (on different computers) lv5, lv6.1, and lv8.5.  Upgrading some of the older machines is not possible since they cannot handle the required OS.
    Is there any way to open a VI created/compiled in a higher version of LabVIEW?  This is proving to be a major sticking point with us and our ability to transfer VIs between computers.
    James
    Never say "Oops." Always say "Ah, interesting!"

    Hi James,
    I was able to use VI server to invoke LV 6.1 VI's using LV 7.0 without issue.
    After discovering this and mentioning it in a post somewhere, Rolf Kalbermatter indicated that was expected. and I should not be suprised.
    So....
    Vi Server may help you.

    Is there a separate place for me to post VIs to be converted?  What's a ballpark figure for the maximum file size i could put on to be converted?
    Do you know if the LabVIEW developers can/will create a way to overcome this problem rather than having to convert a VI through all the intermediate versions?
    To the best of knowledge NO.
    For each versino of LV there isw code included that runs behind the scenes when you open a VI from an earleir version which replaces old functions with the new versions. This is called Mutation code. To accomplish its task it has to know everything that changed between version X and Y. Since it is possible to baby step the versions up and the number of user that jump multiple major versions is small, I don't think any effort will go into that work.

  • Cannot remove older version/won't install

    So I update iTunes because a new version is available and then I restart like it always asks me to. But when I try to open iTunes after restarting, "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". So I go to itunes.com and try to install the newest version again. After the installation starts, though, an error message comes up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
    When I try to uninstall, it gives me the same error message and then says "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed."
    I've never had this problem before so I have no idea what's going on. I search for the file 'iTunes.msi' on my computer, found one and put that path in the box but it still gives me the same error message. Any suggestions?

    Ok I'll give you my cleanup instructions for itunes. You need to follow these steps exactly and carefully. If you have any questions about anything then please post before doing it.
    1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software. If you can't uninstall use the MSI clean utility.
    2. Reboot your PC
    3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
    4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
    5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
    6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
    a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
    b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
    Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
    Leave the files if you have doubt about deleting the files.
    7. (OPTIONAL) Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
    8. Reboot your PC.
    9. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
    If you launch the MSI Cleanup utility it will list applications in the window. Select the one you want to remove and click ok. This will remove the msi information from your pc. You still need to do the delete steps in the Program Files folder for ipod, itunes and quicktime cause the cleanup utility won't do this.
    Again if you have any questions just post back.
