Small runtime engine for newer labview versions?

A few times in the past I have created simple LabVIEW standalone executibles.  I did this in 8.6 and used the runtime engine minimal installer instead of the full version.  This resulted in an installation package size of 30-35 Meg.  
I agin need to create a simple executible but have not seen a minimum runtime installer for any LabVIEW version since 8.6 
Are there any minimal runtimes for other versions? 
The default 2014 runtime is 264 Meg!!!  It is hard to explain to a customer why a simple "Hello World" program requires a 200+ Meg download.

Jack Dunaway has documented a way of segmenting the run time engine, basically only including the pieces of it you need.

  • Error: "Couldn't create Crystal Reports Engine for report format version 10.0"

    I created several reports in ClearQuest v2003.6.15 using Crystal Reports v10. When a user tries to run these reports from his machine he gets the following error:"Problems executing ReportContact your ClearQuest administrator to verify that a supported version of Crystal Reports has been installed.Couldn't create Crystal Reports Engine for report format version 10.0"My version of CR is compatible with this version of CQ and he shouldn't need CR installed to run the reports so I'm not sure what the issue is?

    I have the same problem with ClearQuest 7.0.1.1, except the error contains 'version 11.0' instead of 10.0.This happened when I installed Crystal Reports XI Pro designer.  I followed the procedure to manually uninstall and re-install CR, which allowed me to to author report formats, but I still get this error when trying to view report in the ClearQuest for Windows client.  I tried to re-register all the CR viewer DLLs I could find, but still no luck.Any suggestions?  Thanks,Nate

  • Small Company looking for a LabVIEW consultant (remote consultant welcome)

    Hello,
    We are a small company looking for a LabVIEW consultant.  This is about a 3-6 month project.  The consultant must be familiar with NI hardware product as well.  Please send me your resume/CV.  In your email please state the following: years of experience, educational background, your hourly requirements, your location, and the amount of time you will be able to provide.
    Please removes spaces on the email below.
    int e g r at e d devi c e s @ yah oo. c o m 

    I'm not sure if this is frequent on the NI forums, since I believe NI validates user information prior to issuing an account that allows them to post to the forum.  But usernames (like mine) don't provide immediate identifications; you have to ask for it.
    Apparently Job Scams have become more frequent.  See the list of tips on the following site, (I have no relationship with this site.  It just came up in a google search).

    5 Steps to Take Before Applying for a Job
    1. Email - the company to get information about the job. Do not provide any personal information to them upfront.
    2. Phone - speak to an official at the company and ask about the job. Be assured that it is legitimate.
    3. Meet - at the company site to assure it is a real company. If you cannot meet, and the company is in your town, drive by to see the facility, (possibly using google maps to view the site).
    4. Verify - see if you can find a person who has worked at the company or call a Chamber of Commerce of Better Business Bureau to assure the legitimacy of the company. Search online for legitimate information about the company, search online for any complaints of non-legitimacy.  State Entity sites typically have the name of the company and how long they have been in business.
    5. Apply - once you are assured the company is legitimate, it is safe to apply; but you should still not supply highly personal information like bank accounts until you are officially hired.

  • WF item attributes for new workflow versions

    Hi All,
    I have a query regarding Item Attributes for a particular workflow.
    Assuming that for a particular version there are say 100 Item_Attributes for a particular Workflow.
    In case a new version is loaded and if the new version is having say 102 Item_Attributes then
    2 additional attributes appear in WF_Item_Attributes table for that Item_Type.
    What if in the new version the number of attributes gets reduced to say 95.
    Will the number of attibutes for that particular Item_Type in WF_Item_Attributes will be 95???

  • NI DAQ driver for multiple LabVIEW versions

    Hi ,
    I have installed LV 8.0 and LV8.6 in my PC. I have installed DAQ 8.8 and it is getting detected in LV 8.6 and not in LV 8.0. So i tried to install  DAQ 8.6 which supports LV 8.0.While installing it is showing up that a higher version of DAQ driver is already installed .
    I want the DAQmx functions in LV8.0.
    Is uninstalling the higher version of DAQ the only option??
    Anyone outthere  faced this type of issue?
    Thanks,
    Niju
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I can understand why the drivers might not be able to co-exist, however, it seems unusual that LabVIEW 8 has been abandonned in the newer DAQmx without even a simulator placeholder for the deactivated files.
    I would like a set of DAQmx drivers that allow LabVIEW8 VIs to open without error, but only a warning that the DAQmx drivers are simulated.  There will be a lot of LabVIEW 8 VIs supported well into the future, and this support is along side newer version of LabVIEW on the same development machine. 
    A work around, or possible better solution, is having a utility that would switch DAQmx versions between the various LabVIEWs on demand and quickly.  This feature is has been provided for switching versions of TestStand for years.  It is time to provide it for DAQmx.
    NI developers and managers are you listenning?

  • What is the eaisest way to convert an LLB to new labview version?

    I have an insturment driver LLB that is a total mess now.
    It started out as a LV 5.11 LLB
    I am working in LV 8.5 now and LV 8.5 will not open code written in LV 5.11 (Too old)
    I have tried to mass compile it in LV 8.2 but I still am running in to VI's in the LLB that are too old for LV 8.5 to open.
    That means they are still in LV 5.11.
    Do I really have to open each and save every single VI in the LLB in LV 8.2 to be able to use it in LV 8.5? 

    Dennis Knutson wrote:
    I was able to mass compile it. I did notice that you did not include the hp34970u.llb. Did you point to this during the mass compile. Also, this llb is long obsolete. There is a nice, modern 8.5 project style driver available as well as a plug and play driver. Why do you even need to convert this?
    I have mass compiled it with out errors too, but it seems like it was not really compiled as I still keep running into vi's in it that were still in 5.11.
    I have a decade (or more) of 5.11 code that I am maintaining and upgrading when I have a chance.
    Production test is still coding and deploying LV 5.11  
    I have tried the newer version of the 34970A driver but it is missing some of the vi's that many of our 5.11 codebase uses so is is not a drop in replacement for upgrading code.
    Here is the "u" llb too, I forgot to attach last time

  • Loading vi from newer LabVIEW version

    I can't seem to start LabVIEW 8.2 with a vi from 8.5. Please see the attachment.

    That is by design. You cannot open newer versions of VI in an earlier version of LabVIEW. You can have whoever created the VI resave it in 8.2 format.

  • Runtime.exec() for different Windows versions ?

    Hello all.
    I'm currently developing a Java program that uses Runtime.exec() to launch a MS-DOS application (the old MS-Kermit). It works fine under Windows ME and Java 1.3.1 but the very same code fails to work under Windows 2000. That's very bad for me, since my program should work on all windows platforms from 95 up to XP (and NT).
    My question is : can I trust Runtime.exec() or am I damned to write different versions of the same command for different operating systems ?
    Thanks.

    Runtime is not os independent, so yes, it has to accomodate the os differences. There is an enhancement request on the subject, tho.
    Search the forums, there is code that handles the differences posted.

  • Multiple License for different Labview version

    A coworker is trying to tell me that he read somewhere on the NI forums or knowledge base that with a multiple license it is possible to use
    the maximum number of licenses on EACH version of Labview.  That is, if there are 5 licenses available that there could be 5 copies of 8.5 and 5 copies of 9.0, etc. available for concurrent use.  That seems pretty unlikely to me.  Can someone clarify? 

    Hi Over_Nyquest,
    If you have a single license then the different license types are the different options you have for using the software. So, you could use your single license as a "Computer-Based License" and only activate it on one computer for multiple people to have access to. The other option you have is to use it as a "Named-User License" and install it on 3 computers in different locations for your use. For instance, you could install it on your personal PC/laptop, your office computer, and your labroom computer. This is designed for your use only and will allow you to use LabVIEW at different locations during the day.

  • Updated URL for old LabVIEW versions

    A simple enough question:  Is there any location that I may download an older version of LabVIEW (8.6 in particular)?  As it stands, there was a topic with the same question asked 2 years ago, but the link merely jumps to the default LabVIEW download for the most recent version, and doesn't do anyone any good.
    I appreciate any information you can provide!

    Try this link:http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3446/lang/en

  • Best Practice for New Doc Version?

    I'm a RH novice who needs to create a V1.1 doc based on the
    V1.0 source topics, TOC, and images. I'm using RH HTML X5. What is
    my best practice? The previous author left a unclear doc suggesting
    something like the following:
    Copy the current V1.xpj, V1.hhc, and V1.hhp files and rename
    them as V1.1.xpj, V1.1.hhc, and V1.1hhp
    Place the renamed files in the V1 root directory and open the
    V1.1.xpj file.
    Create and edit new content
    Not understanding RH too well, this seemed reasonable. It
    appears what he is suggesting will bring everything forward in a
    new project, but leave the V1 structure intact. I tried this, and
    it seemed to be working but I was confused by RH also making
    changes to the OLD V1.cpd and V1.pss (I don't know that those files
    are).
    So, apparently the copied files contain references to at
    least the old cpd and pss files (and maybe others). I'm concerned
    that continuing down this path will corrupt V1 and leave me
    mis-matched conventions. Some files being V1, and some being V1.1.
    Is there a how-to somewhere that can help me create a new
    version and not muddy up the old? Do any X5 gurus remember how they
    did this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Keith

    Peter,
    Hopefully you'll see this. I tried you suggestion. Opened the
    old file and renamed the project. About 10 links came up broken
    that weren't broken before. Any ideas why this would happen. I
    didn't make any changes other than the rename.
    Thanks,
    Keith

  • Does the Previous Folders 1.1.1 add-on no longer work for newer Firefox versions?

    I asked this question once before (eight months ago) but never got an answer, and no one else seemed to be having the problem. I was accustomed to using this add-on, called Previous Folders:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/previous-folders/
    but ever since Firefox Version 22.0 (approximately eight months ago), it has no longer worked. Its function is to remember the last 20 locations that you have saved to, and keep them in the address bar drop-down list for easy access.
    I just re-installed Windows 7 (I was having some other problems), and I thought that perhaps it (the add-on) might work again after the re-installation... but it seems that it still does not. If anyone knows anything, or if anyone is also having this problem (it seems that very few people use this add-on or even know about it), any help would be appreciated.

    The '''maxVersion''' coded in the install.rdf file of that extension shows Firefox '''14.0'''. So there's a good chance that its not really compatible any longer, as Firefox 22 had changes to the Download Manager code.

    Yes, we are going to support Dreamweaver UltraDev version 1 and version 4.
    Version 1 of the Oracle interMedia Extension
    for Macromedia UltraDev is available for
    both the Windows NT/2000 and the Macintosh
    platforms. It supports the development of
    Web applications in both the JSP and ASP
    (with either JavaScript/or VBScript) models.
    This extension should also work with
    UltraDev 4.
    We are going to submit the extension shortly
    to Macromedia in order to get an approval.
    You should be able to download the extension
    from OTN as well as the Macromedia Web site
    when it becomes available.
