Supressing autorun during installer creation in Application builder

I have LV 8.20.
I am creating an installer for my application including the MAX configuration and DAQmx driver. At some point the Application Builder asks for the driver CD's. When I insert the Drivers CD when the Application builder asks for it, the front panel for installing the drivers pops up and my original popup that asked for that CD disappears. Can I disable the autorun feature somehow? This really interferes with the building process.
Shouldn't the Application builder programmatically suppress the autorun.inf on that CD?
Scientia est potentia!

Thank you for the reply.
I had managed to create an instastaller afterall. It took me a few tries.
I had clicked on the OK (or contiue or done?) button on the popup that requested the Device Driver Reference CD before the popup from that CD had a chance to appear.
It still seems to me that, it would make sense to supress that popup that atomatically comes up when the CD is inserted into the drive.
Scientia est potentia!

Is it possible to embed DAQmx in Installer(created by Application Builder)?

The good thing of Installer (created by application Builder) is that it also integrates LabView Runtime Engine along with supports like Serial port support, Port I/O support etc. Due to which one can install the application developed by Labview on any system wheather that contains Labview or not, as the engine required by that application also gets installed.
But problem with my application is that it uses DAQmx related stuff, so I have to install DAQmx 8.0 prior to running my application installer on any system. Is it possible that the DAQmx related stuff required by my application also gets install through same installer as it installs LabView Runtime Engine, so that the distribution of my application donot require the complete installation of DAQmx.

You need to use LV 8.0. You can add NIDAQ to your installer in LV 8.0. In previous versions I do not think it is possible.

Installer built with Application Builder gives error "Cannot install, higher version already installed"

I am having an issue with an installer which I created with the Application Builder. I have a project that I have successfully deployed. Subsequently I created another project (and vi) which is based on a copy of the originals, both with new file names. In the renamed project file, I changed all file names, paths, and all resources, to reflect the new names. I also changed the installer’s destination and install folders, of course. I reset the executable’s version number (in the Build Specification properties) to 1.0 (the original was 1.3). I then successfully built an executable and the application installer. However, when I run the installer (setup.exe), it gives a dialog (after the license screen) that it “Cannot install” because a “higher version already installed”.
I’ve done exactly the same thing with other vi’s and projects of mine, and never had this issue. The installer correctly installs the newly created (and renamed) version where it is told to in the project file. Also, I’ve never had a problem deploying (installing) on my development PC either.
I have carefully checked and rechecked to make sure there is no reference to the original executable or paths. What could be causing this behavior? I want to keep the two projects completely separate, so simply changing the version to higher than 1.3 is not an acceptable solution.
Thanks to anyone in advance for any help and suggestions.

Yes, LV 8.5 does NOT give me control over the GUID. In the project file there are three such strings:
"App_applicationGUID"
"App_INI_aliasGUID"
"App_INI_GUID"
They all have different numbers and none of them match the GUID or PackageGUID in setup.ini. I don't know if they are related or not, but usually it's not a good idea to mess with (manually edit) files like these (project, ini, etc.) unless you know what you are doing. (For example, I do edit the setup.ini file to change some of the [Dialogs] parameters, but that is based on direction from NI support.)
Anyway, like I said, I've made copies of projects before and never ran into this problem. At least I have a solution, however laborious, in creating a new project file from scratch.
Let me know if anyone has more thoughts on this.

Ask for Login during Installation wizard of application

Hi to all,
I am doing an application in which I have some unusual
requirement, that is I want my application to ask for login (only
username is required) while I install the application i.e; during
the installation wizard and save it at that time only, so that the
application will not prompt user again for login in future.
I know how to achieve this after the application is installed
by using the shared objects once the user login.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx.

Hi Arun,
I'm not sure I understand what type of login you are requesting, but it is possible to build a wrapper installer that silently launches your AIR installer then does whatever you need in a post install step (or preinstall for that matter.)

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection disables autorun during installation

This is on a completely fresh installation of windows 7 x64.
Before installing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection x64 autoplay for my camera works, after installation it does not work. If I uninstall it, it works again.
Where is this program disabling autorun for devices. Autorun for flash drives works fine, its just the non-volume devices that are affected.
I tried using gpedit and reg keys to re-enable autoplay for the camera but it does not work.
When I plug my camera in, I can still go to my computer I can get my pics without any issues, its just that this is bugging me.
Don't think there is an answer out there, guess I just need to not be so OCD with this stuff.
Thanks for reading!

From what I can tell, the problem is very much related to the way the 32-bit applications of Bridge, Premier and Elements interact with the 64-bit OS when it comes to autoplaying. Looking at event viewer logs and what not shows that the autoplay process effectively crashes or locks up when it attempts to initialize with the Adobe applications in the list.
Anyway, without futher ado, the steps to "correct" the problem.
NOTE: This will remove the autoplay functionality for Bridge, Premier, or Elements (which didn't work with non-volume devices in x64 anyway). Also, this requires going into the Windows registry to fix. If you are not comfortable doing so, then find a techy friend to assist you.
1.) Open Registry Editor
2.) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlers \
3.) Right click on EventHandlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file. This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
4.) You'll have to go key by key, but you'll want to look for values that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
5.) Now, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ Handlers \
3.) Right click on Handlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file. This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
6.) This time you will be deleting any keys (they look like folders) that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
7.) Close the Registry Editor and reboot.
You should now find that your Autoplay functions work perfectly with non-volume devices again.
Hope this helps you all.

Fatal Error during Installation of Weblogic Application Server 11g (10.3.4)

Hi,
I have installed Weblogic server 10.3.4 in the first attempt but when I was deploying an ear, Server gets crashed (JDK was crashed) and after that I was unable to start the server because it was giving an error for JDK.
Then I uninstalled existing Weblogic server and tried installing server (same version using same setup) once again but it is not allowing. It is asking me for directory (WLS Home Directory), Complete/Custom and when installing finally, it is flagging an error (when 39% installation is complete) "Fatal Error encountered during file installation, the installer will now cleanup and exit! C:\<Home Directory>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\consol.exe (Access is denied)".
Can any one please help me in resolving this error. Thanks in advance
Regards,
Priya

Hello,
You need to check the permissions on the middleware home directory. Give permissions and then try to install weblogic server, it will work.
Are you trying to do first time weblogic server installations. If you have already domain created then from there also you can create a seperate domain

Error -18001 during installation of built application during installation on different PC

Hi All,
We are having problems with making an installation package to install our built TestStand/LabVIEW application on the target PC. We get the error shown in the attached image and haven't been able to determine what is correct on the destination PC.

TestStand 3.1.1f & LabView Error.PNG ‏15 KB

Well, we have found a fix, figure I'll mention it.
In TestStand toolbar Configure ..Adapters.. select LabVIEW and click the "Configure..." button then select the version of LabVIEW, in our case the LabVIEW Run-time engine. Only took three of us a few hours to figure it out. Is there a way to perform this setting function in the install?
Now we are getting the message that "Print VI to Html" property not supported in Run Time Engine (LV7.1) which shoots down part of our program as written. Argh! Any suggestions out there with you TestStand gurus (I am a real newbie in TS)?

How to add third party dll in our installer using application builder?

Hello friends,
I have one application (VI) which is using some third party dll of protocol and now I want to make a installer which should install dll along with application exe. Please suggest the way ..
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I placed it in project file and included it in category of "Always Included" in exe creation. Then after i created installer with needed NI drivers. But this installer didn't registered the dlls in project file. I registered it manually using regsvr32 command..
Any help to do it automatically during installation..
To brief my words, I need help to understand the process of third party dll registration during installation of installer created by application builder..
Thanks

DLL created with LV 7.1 Application Builder doesn,t work when analysis subVIs are present

I'm looking for a solution of the following problem.
The DLL created by the "sum1.vi" source works properly, while the DLL create by "sum2.vi" always gives a zero result.
The "sum2.vi" source contains an additional "Hanning Window" VI (not wired), that seems to be the cause of the problem.
If I delete the Hanning VI and re-build the DLL, the same works fine
Is there a solution or is it not possible to make Labview DLLs when containing analysis VIs as filters, windows, FFTs, and so on?
Thank you for your answers.

Thank you Jordan, I'm using Labview 7.1.
Anyway I've resolved the problem by adding the "lvanlys.dll" file (present in "..\Labview 7.1\resource\lvanlys.dll" path) as support file in the building process. Now the DLL containing the analysis functions works correctly.
Natalino Roberto
Ok, you probably got lucky since the lvanlys.dll seems to implement that function directly. However most Advanced Analysis functions are just redirected by lvanlys.dll to the Intel Math Kerneal Library that gets installed with LabVIEW 7.1 and higher. The only way to get that properly installed with your LabVIEW executable or DLL is to create a LabVIEW installer in your Application Builder and make sure to select under "Installer Settings->Advanced" the "LabVIEW Run-Time Engine" and the "Analyze VIs Support". Then use that installer to install your DLL on another computer.

Application Builder 7.1: problem when running an EXE

Hello,
I have developped a VI on a computer with LabView 7.1. The VI uses an USB 6008 (with DAQmx base 1.4 drivers.) to measure signals. It perfectly works. Now I've spent a lot of trying to put the system on a computer that doesn't have LabView installed.
-I first installed the USB 6008 drivers on the computer
-Then I made an installer with the application builder (including the run-time engine)
-Once the application is installed on the new environnement, I just keep on having error messages when running it.
-first it doesnt find all the DLL, you have to copy them from the PC with LabView in C:\windows\system32\. Done.
-then I get this big dialog box with a listing of sub-Vi missing, such as: Sub-VI Create Task.vi missing in VI Instance 1 6ProgName.v1
I've looked into the LLB file created with the builder: all these sub-VI are here!! Why won't it work?
What can I do to solve this?? Thanks for your help.

Hi batsenn,
for the missing dll: what are those dll's? you may need to install additional run-time packages, or check some more component in the Advanced Installer Settings form, depending on your application.
Now for the main problem: are you calling vi's dynamically from an external LLB? in many cases when a file is not found from the built application, it's a path problem. In fact, if a vi path is e.g. c:\mysourcedir\myvi.vi, when the EXE is built the path will be something like c:\myexedir\myexe.exe\myvi.vy. You see that there is an additional Strip Path you need to do if you are getting the current path from a vi path.
What I said can be relevant or not depending on the vi calling techinique you are using. A suggestion is to execute the built EXE on the development computer (where all components are present) to check if the problem is still there.
Hope this helps.

Can I include raw files into the installer folder with LV application builder?

Hello,
I have created a batch file that will run at the end of the installer, which will copy over some raw configuration files into the source destination so that the configuration files can be customized for each end user without rebuilding the installer with application builder. I also have an autorun.inf so the installer will automatically run when the user installs the CD.
However I would like to have some default configuration files and an autorun.inf file that will be automatically added to the installer "volume" folder using the application builder.
However I don't see a way to include raw files in the "volume" folder. It appears all source files in the application builder are embedded into the binary files.
Please let me know if this is possible with the current application builder.

During an application build I received an error 7 for a missing source NI vi 1d linear evaluation.vi

During an application build, I got "Error 7 occurred at c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\vi.lib\Analysis\8numerc.llb\1D Linear Evaluation.vi - source does not exist".
This existed in Labview 5.1.1. Was it deleted in 6.0?

No, this VI is in the following location "Functions >> Analyze >> Mathematics >> Array Operations>>1D Linear Evaluation.vi"
Perhapse this in a package (Advanced Analysis) that is not included in your version of LabVIEW. You may need to upgrade to get these VIs, or you can copy them over from your Labview 5.1.1 installation.

Application builder and Installation

Elijah Kerry did a real nice power point presentation on Application Builder ( Risk Associated w Source Distribution) back in 2012. I can't remeber what forum/group, etc I found it under. Does anyone know if there is a similar presentation for creating an Installer??
ie:
How do I make sure I get all the files needed to port my code to a target machine?
Do I need to create the exe file 1st?? or does Installer do that for me?? What about MAX?? What about DAQ?? etc, etc.???
Thanks.

Yes. Tasks Scales and chanels need to be defined somewhere. That *.xml file with a *.lvproj extension is a nice convinient place that DAQmx will look for.
Excuse my ignorance on the subject because I've never used it. But is this useful for deploying DAQmx scales/Channels/Aliases? When I build an EXE and then an installer is the DAQmx scales and channels information inside the .lvproj imported? Or is this just useful for development?
EDIT: It looks like it only has scales/tasks/channels not aliases. So never mind.
