Stand alone labview application (.exe file) does not run properly

Hi all,
I am trying to make a stand alone labview application to run on another computer ( I have never done this before).
I went through the tools->build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.
the program is supposed to control a power meter and make power measurements then save them to a text file.
When I run the exe file, on the same computer I compiled the exe file on, the program generates a text file to save data to but it can not communicate with the power meter.
There are some sub-VIs and a dll file that are used to communicate with the power meter. Could it be that I am not telling labview to correctly
include these files when I create an executable?
What are some common problems that occur when generating stand alone applications that could be causing my issues?
And does anyone know of any good tutorials on generating stand alone applications in labview other than the NI help files?
Thanks for your help,
Solved!

Hi Bill, thanks for your suggestions.
I haven't tried to run this app on another computer yet. I'm just trying to run it on the computer it was developed on.
The computer I developed it on has all the drivers/resources I need to control the power meter.
Also, I don't know how to include the VISA runtime with my installer. could you explain how this is done?
This is the first time IV tried to turn any labview programs into stand alone exe files so I don't anything about how to do it other than what I've seen in youtube videos and help files.
If you know of any good tutorials that will help me figure this out I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
My fault - I didn't read that this was the same computer. I know the very end of Core 3 studies shows how to build an executable and installer, but even that is very general. I'm not sure if there exists a tutorial on how to do it.
As for including the runtimes, when you build an installer, you have to include the runtimes that your executable will need. It's fairly straightforward.
Since it won't run on the machine that built it, I'll have to think about it a little bit...

Setup.exe file does not run after the download

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name East
- Filename All the disks, 1 through 3, have been downloaded and extracted.
- Date/Time Aug 7, 2002
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg
I am unable to run the setup.exe file in Disk1 directory. I think we need more information on how to install the server. Please help us ASAP.

I found out that besides setting the library, I should also set the classpath.
I tried to set the classpath by setting the environment variable CLASSPATH: path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
I also tried to set it with the command prompt:
CLASSPATH = path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
But when double clicking on my .exe file, it still does not run and I still get the NoClassDefFoundError.
Please help. Thanks!

Javascript does not run properly in Firefox

Firefox does not run javascript properly.
For example:
http://vk.com/app2622342_40916334#NEW/comp1427
Comment form does not run at all in Firefox ( the last version = 20.0.1)
but runs OK in Opera.
WHY?
Mozilla still is HALF-DONE SOFTWARE!!!!!!!
WHEN YOU DO IT IN A GOOD WAY?

I have javazcript-enabled = TRUE in my about:config. So your comment did not solve my problem. I noticed that javascript does not run properly in some websites (forms in vk.com) but those forms run OK in OPERA - how can you explain this!?
And I have no errors in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
I wrote you a link to the page where javascript does not work.
( you need to login to vk.com to see that page

Application file does not run on user-end system

Dear Friends,
                      I just finished preparing a DAQ VI for measuring reed switch parameters and tested it many times on my system with Labview 8.5 prof edition and DAQmx8.6.1. The program runs excellently on my system. Now when I build the application(.exe file) and try to test it on a fresh system without Labview, my program is not running and the "Active" yellow LED on my USB 6221 keeps on blinking every 3 Seconds. I have no error message displayed because I have not done anything exclusively to show error messages. I have installed only DAQmx8.5 and Labview runtime engine on that system. I herewith attach my VI. Please guide me through in overcoming this problem and also brief me on how to display error message on the front panel to the user during runtime.

Hi Mike,
            Thanks for your ideas. I incorporated create task-create channel-start task-clear task methodology in my VI and could experience a lot of improvement in the execution speed too. I attach my VI for your viewing and comments.
             I would like to add some more finishing to the executable. I want to display any error messages to the user on a separate tab on the front panel which need not be always visible to the user. I also need to disable the "Maximize" button on the front panel so that the user cannot maximize the executable window. I also need to hide and show a numerical indicator programmatically. Is it possible ? I also need to disable the "Test" pushbutton, once it is clicked till one entire cycle gets over.

Pattern file does not function properly in Adobe illustrator CS5

So I learned Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Say 10%). I have these two files which I downloaded from the net. They are patterns files for animals skins.
The first file is named "Animals_skins.ai" and is taken from htthttp://www.adobe.com/uk/web/tips/ill10qtpatt/p:// and can be downloaded from the same page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/special/illustrator/win/pattern.zip and has 10 Animal Skins patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the contents of the file as well as they are added directly to the "Swatches Panel" on the left. When I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swatches Panel with the mouse, I get the titles like "Jagur" or "Tiger" telling me the name of the patterns.
The same is the Case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and browse to the file and open it. Works perfectly. I can apply the patterns to any shapes and it works like a charm.
The Second file is named "skins.ai" and is taken from http://www.vectoropenstock.com/4416-Animal-Skin-Patterns-vector and can be dowloaded from the same page http://www.vectoropenstock.com/descargar.php?id_vect=4416 and has 35 Skins Patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustartor CS5, I get the contents of the file showing me the patterns. However they are not added to the "Swatches Panel" directly as the first file does. Insted I get some other colors in the swacthes panel and when I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swacthes Panel with the mose, I DON'T get the titles.
The same is the case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and brose to the file and open it. Does not work. I CAN't apply the patterns to any sahpes. Even If I select the patterns from the main windows by clicking, selecting and draging to the swatches panle and add there. When I apply the same to any shape it applies them but it's all messed up and lines appear around the single/individual pattern if the shape to which it is being applied is big enough.
Can't figure it out that why the first file works and the second files does not. I am new to Illustartor (How many times you have heard that?) and any solution would greatly aid me in my learning process. I need the patterns for a logo design.
I have another 3rd file which has Cow Patterns and it behaves exactly the same way as the second file. Opening it shows me the pattern in the main window but it does not get added to the swatches panle either by adding it using the mouse or opening it using the browse libary method.
Thanks in Advance

you have to read the tutorial in the same page you downloaded the swatches from. It tells you exactly how to make the tiles match.

Finder does not run properly after starting up [Mountain Lion]

I've installed MountainLion from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My Mac is Macbook7,1 (Macbook White) Intel Core 2 Duo
When the installation finish, it seems like Finder does not run. I have to click on the Finder icon on the Dock to make it run.
And then I got some of problem after that
1. When I Click "About This Mac", nothings happen.
2. When I Click "Restart...", "Shutdown..." or "Sleep", nothings happen. So, I have to Shutdown or Restart my Macbook from "Login Window..." only.
3. Some of my settings in "System Preferences" do not be saved. Such as Trackpad settings (I can't "Tap to Click" in every time I start up my Macbook, I have to use physical click instead.) and Spotlight Hotkey settings (When I switch the Language, the Spotlight is popping up.)
I'm not sure what is the cause of these problem.
Could anyone help me please.
Thank You.

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

How to include .xml file while building a stand alone application .exe file from a Labview program

HI,
I have a labview program which loads default values of all the variables from a .xml file when executed. I am trying to build a standalone '.exe application' using
(Tools Menu --> Build Application from VI) , however I am not sure where to include this .xml file in the process? I really appreciate if some one could let me know.
Thanks
Vish

As GerdW said, it is preferable (and better practice) to use the project explorer. My guess, you didn't configure the build correctly (and probably used the default settings).
First, you have to specify your xml file as Always included is the source file tab
Now look at how the build folders are built:
The .ini file (xml in your case) is in the data folder. So in the build the relative position of the xml file is not the same as in the development environment. You have to be aware of this difference and use a diiferent relative path for the exe. You can do this using a conditional disable symbol in the project and then use the conditional disable structure in your VI.
Here in the deploy case the exe will look for the file in the data folder and in the development environment it will look in a folder name Files.

Downloaded Firefox v5 .exe file does not open (have downloaded twice now)

Downlaod and tried to start the ,exe file. Cursor span for a few seconds and then nothing.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Oracle 9iLite download setup.exe file does not work

Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing...
I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt.
I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
and rename them to symcjit.old.
Then launch setup.exe.
This should take care of the problem

Macron & underdot entities coded in OEB file does not showup properly in epub file

"A" macron entity coded as "&#257" and "N" underdot entity coded as "n&#803" and "d" underdot entities coded as "&#803d&#803" are not showing up properly in the epub files but they display properly in the OEB file (HTML display). Please advise. Does epub provide support to these entities?

Hi Subhash,
You have to create at your own, take any decimal list of entities and open its .epub file in ADE, you will see the question marks against entities, these are the entities which are not supported by .epub.
Need any further help, reply me.

Stored Procedure Does Not Run Properly When Called From Portlet

We have a simple Java portlet that calls a PL/SQL stored procedure which we wrote. The stored procedure sends a large number of emails to users in our corporation using the "utl_smtp" package. The stored procedure returns a count of the emails back to the Java portlet when it's finished. This number is displayed in the portlet.
Our problem:
The stored procedure functions as expected when run from a PL/SQL block in SQL*Plus, and the Java portlet calls the procedure properly when sending out a smaller number of emails (Less than 200 usually). When we get into a higher number of emails the procedure hangs when called from the portlet, but it STILL functions properly from SQL*Plus. It does not return the number of emails sent
and the Java portlet is unable to return a SQLException. Also, we have noticed that emails are sent at a much slower pace from the stored procedure when it's called from the portlet.

Any Ideas?
