Running a labview installer without installing drivers

Ouch. I have to install multiple LabView programs onto the same machine and they were all compiled with different versions. I don't have the luxury of rebuilding them. When I try installing some of them, the program won't let me install because newer drivers are already installed on the machine. Is there a way of running an installer to install the program without installing the drivers?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The folder where the installer was placed into should have a bunch of folder in the "bin" folder all starting with "p". These contain the various installers that are run. The actual installer for your executable should be in there somewhere, so you could try running it directly.

Run labview executable without installing

Hi
We need t run a LabVIEW executable without the need to install the runtime engine first.
In fact we use a LabVIEW program to distribute LabVIEW within our company.
We add our own library and a special license request form and make it possible to install a LabVIEW development environment
with only the push of one button.
In LV8.2 however this no longer works. First the runtime environment has to be installed before we can run our LabVIEW application.
Previous LabVIEW versions worked OK.
Are we missing an option in the installer somewhere or can somebody show the way to make this work again otherwise we have to keep 8.01 until infinity....
greetings from the Netherlands

Hi Albert,
Long time no see... Perhaps at the user group meting okt. 5?
We (Andre) did some experiments with this just last week. He copied everything from the normal installation directory (program files) runtime directory to a new directory on a clean PC. In the same directory he put an executable, and it did run properly (although I think he also copied the models directory to get proper control images).
Only thing is that at the startup of the exe, we get a dialog "Installing...". Still working on that. This might even work from a CD...
He made a big effort to remove all previous LabVIEW stuff, but to be honest, we didn't try it on a completelly "clean" system.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Deploy simple Labview applications without installing the Labview runtime?

[Labview 8.21 - Windows XP]
Hello and a happy new year to all !
I have coded very simple Labview applications that basically read text files (exported from Ms Excel), make some string operations, array sorting and at the end write another text file that is then imported in Ms Access. Now I would like other people from the School parents association to use this application on their own PC but ideally without having to install the Labview run-time; for various reasons one of them being that they are not administrator of their PC, another reason being that I feel bad to ask them to install 100Mb of programs on their PC to execute my <1Mb applications. All that I can assume is that they have Excel and Access installed on their PC.
I have read some postings on the Forum and in the Knowledge base from which I understand that the only way to use my application without the Labview runtime is to build a shared library that maybe I could then link via a VBA code from inside Excel or Access. But I cannot find any usable example on how to do that practically. And maybe it is not possible.
What is the easiest way to run such very simple Labview compiled applications on a PC that does not have Labview installed? Is Labview not at all built for such use?
Thanks a lot for your help and ideas.
Christophe

You will need to have the runtime installed. There is a lot of other languages that also have the need for there own runtime, but they are commonly installed with the OS, so you don't realize it. Just building a dll won't solve this.
There might be a hack possible, though. People have managed to strip down the required installation and been able to deploy the required parts of the runtime only. If you want to go this way, search on LAVA. But I'm not sure if it works with LV 8.20, and you will need to invest some time to figure out the minimum requirements. But be aware that it is a hack, so it's on your own risk.

How to run Java 3D Applet without install java3d

I've written a java3d applet, and it runs correctly in browser on my computer. Now I want it can be run on other computers which havent' Java3d installed. If the program runs as application, then we can use jnlp and web-start to solve this problem. But what about applet? How can I do it just like the application?
Pls help me!

Hello. I read this article too. It sounds interesting but I have some questions. The example is given for win32 and what about other OSs and platforms? Sun provides different libraries for different OS. According to this article it is possible to run applets without previous installation of Java3D and if a user runs Windows 2000, Java3D libraries will be downloaded and installed from the location pointed out by the programmer. But how to do this for all OSs and all platforms and architectures so that if a user doesn't have Java3D installed on his/her computer, might to see the applet in his/her browser? Is it the only way that a programmer needs to include into "loader_singed.jar" all possible libraries for all possible platforms?

Running networked labview apps without root permissions

I noticed that it is not possible to use the tcp vi's, i.e. tcp create listener or tcp open (I even tried the supplied examples dataserver.vi and dataclient.vi in tcp.llb) without running them as root, any body has an idea, no one would like to let the end user use root to run the application!. Is it a labview configuration or a unix one?.
Thanks,
mike_lachaine

I found a defora core 1 release and verified your problem (on LabVIEW 7.0). It's because the fedora kernel uses native posix threads instead of pthreads. This changes the behavior of signals.
If you recompile your kernel and use pthreads the problem should go away. (Although I have not done this myself).
We have fixed this for the next release of LabVIEW (I did verify this). It required a change in the architecture, and therefore there is no patch available for it.
What I meant by usinc nc and telnet for testing (without LabVIEW) is to "echo hi | nc -l -p 2000" in one window, and "telnet localhost 2000" in another. If your networking is working, you should see "hi" in the telnet window. But, telnet and nc are not affected by
the npt kernel as LabVIEW currently is.
For now, use a non NPT kernel.

Updating Windows Installer to Install Drivers

So I've partitioned my hard drive, installed Windows XP, but when I try to install the drivers, It gives me a message saying that I need to update the Windows Installer. So I tried my Windows XP reinstallation disc and it said the same thing, so I tried to update the installer so I could install the drivers. The problem is I need internet to update the installer, and I need to install the drivers for Airport. Is there any way I can get around this?

Hi,
sounds to me like you used either a XP version prior to SP 2 (Service PAck 2) or a manufacturer-bundled version that originally was sold with another computer.
XP with SP2 and non-bundled is the minimum requirement for BootCamp.

How to build a Labview Installer without MAX

I have created a LV program, using VISA.
When I create a Installer, MAX is also included - this is not necessary, how can I avoid it?
Furthermore, how does one deinstall the NI libraries when deinstalling the product? Due to their size this may be desired.

Yes,
this sounds very logical, and has been attempted, but:
1: In Additional Installers NI Measurement & Automation Explorer is not checked.
(Only Run time engine, Variable engine, variable manager, visa configuration support and visa runtime is installed)
2: the installation disk created by LV is 200Mb, but the NI programs that are to be deinstalled are of only 4Mb - normally an installation expands on disk instead of shrinking, is the footprint of the NI runtime engine really only 4Mb on an XP machine?

I get an error every time I try to run the Air installer to install Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac

Here is the error message:
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.

Not when that is the answer and poster do not bother to read it
You DO NOT have an iPhoto issue - you have a third party software issue - and the answer is to contact the software provider - Not really a difficult concept for most people - contact the author for help with their product

How to allow a Java application to run on any PC without installing jdk?

I'm doing this program that would retrieve infomation of the PC and send it to the server. In order to do that, i have to email the application to all these PCs. The problem is that some of these PCs may not have JRE or jdk to run the application. Cos, i thought that Java was Write once Run anywhere. I've tried to jar and run it on a PC with no JRE and stuff, How can this be done, I know that using applet is an option, but is there any other way. Pls help me, thanx!

you need a java virtual machine to run a java application, either it is embedded in the browser ( a native or plug-in ) and you can run your applet in the browser, or, if you don't want your app to be an applet, you have to install a jre on the PC...no other way, i'm afraid
so write once, run anywhere, provided there's a jre anywhere ! it is the jvm that handles differences between os, and you need to handle that difference somewhere, don't you !

What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
TYIA
Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
I did that on XP so I know better now!
Here is just 1 example of many:
On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes. In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version. Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

Run executable before installation

Hello all,
I need small information. Please help me.
In LabVIEW Installer Window at Advanced settings, we have
Run executable at end of installation
Run executable before uninstallation
Is there is any option for “Run executable before installation”?
I want to run one LabVIEW exe before installing new software (if Runtime engine is exits in deployment PC).
Please let me know if anyone have idea.

The NI installers don't give you a lot of control of how things are done. Let say you want to allow you users to have a minimum, complete, or custom install of tools. The NI installers don't have that option.
In the past when I need more control of how installers run, and their options, I've used a couple of free tools that I've mentioned in the past. Inno Setup, and the helper program ISTool.
Using this method I can make an installer, that runs a different installer first, then runs the NI installer.

I can't untick the "install drivers" option in Bootcamp

Hi, I'm having trouble using Bootcamp. I only have a 4GB USB stick to hand which I know will handle the Windows ISO (but not the drivers). Unfortunately, Bootcamp will not let me create a Windows USB Installer without the drivers, the tickbox for the drivers is grey and I cannot untick it.
I can't find anybody else online with this issue? Can anybody help?

A lot cheaper than you think $10

How to execute Coded UI automated test case remotely without installing Visual studio?

We are using visual studio 2013 premium. my object is to run the Coded ui automated test case remotely without installing visual studio. can you guide me how to approach it successfully ?
Thanks in Advance..

Hi Divakar,
According to your description,
as far as I know that if we want to run the automation test remotely without vs using mstest, we will need to install and configure the test controller and the test agent machine.
Please refer to the following steps configure the test controller on locally machine and install a test agent on the remotely machine.
Note: If you an
automation test on locally machine, we must make sure the test agent be installed on remotely
machine.
Step1: you can try to
configure test controller and agent, for more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh546459.aspx
Step2: you will need to
assign roles to a Test Controller and Test Agent for Automated Testing in Visual Studio, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff469838.aspx
Note: you will need to add a testsetting file before you assign roles to a Test Controller and Test Agent for Automated
Testing in Visual Studio.
Reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx
Step3: After you configure and install the test controller and test agent successfully, we can
executed coded UI test remotely using mstest.exe on test agent machine, we would call the testsetting file in command line.
Reference:
How
to use MSTest.exe command-line options
In addition, I find an article about
Running tests in mstest without installing the VS IDE, please see:

Run exe file without installing labview

i created my labview into exe file. I need to run this exe file on another computer which have no labview application. There's anerror when i try to run it.What do i have to do without installing labview application into another computer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As Freelance_LV already asks, there are possibly additional components you require for your EXE to run.
The easiest thing to point out is required hardware devices and their drivers. If that is available (or not used), the EXE should run with the correct LV RTE (runtime engine). You can think of the LV RTE as of the .NET framework.
Please note that most drivers and runtime engines from National Instruments are free of charge for deployment. But there are some runtime engines which are liable to costs.
