The Building Installer with Robohelp

I am using RoboHelp for HTML version 8
So, the build engineers and others are wondering if there is not some way to cut down on the number of files or reduce the compiled help to a single file. Apparently, with chm files they just had to account for a single file. But they regard the current process as quite complicated, since they have to put lines in the installer for each of the Robohelp files, of which there may be over a 100 depending on the number of topics, etc. Is there some way I can help them out?

Hi there
If you are generating WebHelp, you really do need to consider ALL the output files to be needed. But that's only if you really want your help to function under all circumstances.
Note that it should be possible for your developers to use wildcards to specify files. This means that instead of painfully adding entry after entry of this.htm and that.htm and theother.htm, they specify *.htm and all files in the folder would be included.
Cheers... Rick

Champlain:
I hope all is well. I am sorry you are experiencing such issues with the application builder. Does this issue occur consistently or it was just a one-time occurence? You may try to do the following:
1. Delete the "Application" folder which was created after the unsuccessful builds.
2. Uncach the folder in the Build Specs
3. Copy your driver CDs to your hard driver and point to the newly created folder.
Please feel free to try this at your own convenience and let me know what you find.

Cannot build Installer with NI-DAQmx Configuration Support 9.6.1

Running labview 2011 SP1 f2
All SW/Device Drivers are up to date. error code -21, see attached for more details.
Things tried:
Updated just about all NI software
repaired Labview, device drivers, OPC and DSC as individuals.
Running out of options, its something specific to my machiene, other developers can build this given the same setup.
Ideas?

NI Build Error.docx ‏79 KB

-          The following are possible reasons and solutions for this error:
#1. Installer specifications file is corrupted. For example, an old version of an installer specifications file could have been copied into the project.
-Go to Tools>>Advanced>>Mass Compile and mass compile the directory where the error is located. Mass compiling is necessary for VI compatibility with a particular version of LabVIEW. If this does not work then delete the saved installer settings from the project window and create a new one with the same settings.
#2. Additional installer components have been overwritten
-Referring to the knowledge base Why do I get a Missing Distribution Error when trying to build an installer from LV 8.0, an installer build always refers to the original installer source. For example, if you are using the NI-DAQmx driver (with additional component MAX 4.0) and later install Measurement Studio (With additional component MAX 4.1) this will cause an error because the installer is still referring to MAX 4.0. Point the installer to the original content on the driver-cd or the hard drive.
#3. Installing drivers before you installed LabVIEW or Updating your drivers
-The same driver and LabVIEW version, which the VI was written in, must be used to build a functioning installer. If an upgrade has occurred then make sure to include updated versions of the run time engine and driver. The driver and LabVIEW versions can be upgraded , in which case you can include the updated version of the driver and run time engine when you try to include additional installers. Make sure that the driver is properly installed for the specified version of LabVIEW in order to upgrade code for new drivers and software. Make a back up of your current project for reference. Open the project in the specified version of LabVIEW and go to Tools>>Advanced>>Mass Compile and mass compile your code

Runtime Error building Installer with NI-VISA Runtime

Greetings, I'm getting this error whenever I check the "NI-VISA Runtime" option in the installer app builder.
Everything builds fine when I check only the Runtime Engine. Shown below is what causes the RUNTIME ERROR and closes Labview Unexpectedly.
Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
JD

Hi JD,
This is a relatively common error with the Application Builder that can happen for several different reasons, namely registry keys pointing to installations that no longer exist. The easiest way to identify the problem is to get detailed information about the installer build. Here are directions:
LabVIEW has the
ability to create a very detailed log of the events that occur when
building an application or installer. To enable this feature, open up
the LabVIEW.ini file and copy "CDK.EnableLog=true" to the bottom
of the file. Save the changes and close the ini file. The LabVIEW.ini
file is usually located in C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\LabVIEW X.X
Enabling this feature will create a log file in the %temp% directory of your computer (%...% means a computer variable) .
To
find out where this temp directory is located, go to Start>>Run.
Type in "cmd". Then type "set". This will return all of your computer's
variable names.
Look for TEMP in the list of variable names. You should see something like "TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp".
Navigate to this directory using Windows Explorer.
You
should see a file named "Name.log" where "name" is the name of your
build specification. For example, you might see "My Installer.log" if
the name of your build specification is "My Installer".
This will give you a more detailed log of the attempted build and, if I'm correct about why this particular build failed, show you which installer is expected at that registry. If the registry points to a directory without the necessary installer (i.e. VISA), simply delete the registry and allow the App Builder to prompt you to to point to the correct location.

Building installer with 8.5

I have built an application with Labview 8.5 and am trying to build an installer with the 8.5 runtime engine for a stand alone program. However the exe builds okay, but when I try to build the installer I get a message saying some components need to be load from real-time module 8.6.1 and it asks for the directory of the nist.id. I am not using any real time in my application. It seems as though this started popping up after I installed Labview 8.6. Anyone have any Ideas.
Regards,
Wade

Thanks for the Reply and link. I just placed the Labview disk in the disk drive and selected that directory so the installer builder could locate the file it was looking for, and then cached it. However I am curious as to why all of the sudden it needs the real time module 8.6.1. If my only additional installer is RT engine 8.5. Before I upgrade to NI DAQ 8.8 that came with LV 8.6 I hadn't gotten this request for the RT Module components while only requesting the RT engine for an additional installer. Anyways its no big deal now that I have the file cached. It doesn't ask anymore. Thanks.

Error when building Installer with USI 1.5.0 with Labview 8.5

I used to build an installer with Labview 8.2 and included this additional installer USI 1.5.0 but now with labview 8.5 it gives me an error:
"Locate the "NI LabVIEW" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribuiton to conitnue building the installer"
Any advice

Hi reza_sed,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. When you get this message, are you prompted for a location of this installer (CD drive or something)? Sometimes if components are installed together, certain dependencies are created. You might be able to add the installer to a LabVIEW 8.2 installer with no problem, but the installer cannot be found when using a different version of LabVIEW. You might try uninstalling USI, then copying the install files from the CD or from our website to your hard drive and then installing from there. Then, you should be able to include the additional installer.
Another thing that may be happening is that the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine you have for 8.5 does not support NI-USI. The full version of the Run-Time Engine supports NI-USI, but the web browser only version does not. Make sure you select the full version when installing.

Build installer with NI-RFSA

Trying to build a LabVIEW 8.0.1 installer with
NI-RFSA 2.0.7 as one of the "additional installers". The installer builds fine, but when I run
the installer, I get "Fatal Error!! Required NIPathsDir property
LV85DIR is undefined" and the installer exits.
What,
exactly, needs to be included in an RFSA installer (e.g., the
documentation for NI-RFSA says it includes DAQmx, NI-SCOPE and MAX
already). Do I also need to include the LV 8.5 runtime engine?

Figured it out. Some additional digging led to the use of the "setup.exe /log logfile.txt" command, which can be run from the command line (shell). This generates a log file which I used to find my problem.
See attached image.
In the Shortcuts section of my installer, I specified a subdirectory with the forward slash (/) instead of the normal windows backward slash (\).
NI: Please please please add this to your KB article on this problem. Also please please please consider flagging this error in the installer builder. There are many illegal characters for Windows that are well documented. I know this builder is probably cross-platform, but we know what the target platform is here!

[Solved]Can't finish The Hobbit installation with virtual drive

Is there any way that I could combine two iso files into one so that I could finish The Hobbit installation process. I always get stuck at the point where it asks for the second disk and gnome-disk-utility won't unmount the first ISO because it's still in use by the installation process.
I tried doing this
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop disc1-mountpoint
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop disc2-mountpoint
$ sudo mkisofs -l -J -R -o dvd.iso disc1-mountpoint disc2-mountpoint
and here's what I got
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
Using BILBO000.ICO;1 for /bilbo.ico (bilbo.ico)
Using AUTORUN000.INF;1 for /Autorun.inf (Autorun.inf)
genisoimage: Error: '/media/dc/bilbo.ico' and '/media/live/bilbo.ico' have the same Rock Ridge name 'bilbo.ico'.
genisoimage: Error: '/media/dc/Autorun.inf' and '/media/live/Autorun.inf' have the same Rock Ridge name 'Autorun.inf'.
Unable to sort directory
NOTE: multiple source directories have been specified and merged into the root
of the filesystem. Check your program arguments. genisoimage is not tar.
So here's what I'm currently trying right now.
$ cat HobbitCD1.iso > The_Hobbit.iso
$ cat HobbitCD2.iso >> The_Hobbit.iso
Okay, so doing that didn't return any errors, now to see if I can finish the installation with the new ISO file.
Nope it still asks for disk 2. So the real question is how can I force the first disk to unmount so that I can replace it with the second disk?

progandy wrote:Why don't you try this?
Manually mount the first iso image, begin installation, forcibly unmount old iso, mount new iso, continue installation.
Oh, you can forcibly unmount something?!
(read the manpage for umount)
Oh, whaddaya know, you can.
from umount's manpage
-f Force umount (in case of an unreachable NFS system). (Requires kernel 2.1.116 or later.)
I dunno why I didn't think to check the manpage for umount. Sorry, my bad.
EDIT: Okay, so forcibly unmounting the iso didn't work. I was able to force umount, but I couldn't disassociate the /dev/loop2 from the HobbitCD1.iso file. losetup doesn't seem to support forcing. I think that I better just install this under Windows and then copy and paste the installed files to my external hard drive and then move them onto my laptop from there. =/ Not really what I was looking for, though.

Trying to implement the Builder pattern with inheritance

This is just a bit long, but don't worry, it's very understandable.
I'm applying the Builder pattern found in Effective Java (J. Bloch). The pattern is avaiable right here :
http://books.google.fr/books?id=ka2VUBqHiWkC&lpg=PA15&ots=yXGmIjr3M2&dq=nutritionfacts%20builder%20java&pg=PA14
My issue is due to the fact that I have to implement that pattern on an abstract class and its extensions. I have declared a Builder inside the base class, and the extensions specify their own extension of the base's Builder.
The abstract base class is roughly this :
public abstract class Effect extends Trigger implements Cloneable {
    protected Ability parent_ability;
    protected Targetable target;
    protected EffectBinder binder;
    protected Effect(){
    protected Effect(EffectBuilder parBuilder){
        parent_ability = parBuilder.parent_ability;
        target = parBuilder.target;
        binder = parBuilder.binder;
    public static class EffectBuilder {
        protected Ability parent_ability;
        protected Targetable target;
        protected EffectBinder binder;
        protected EffectBuilder() {}
        public EffectBuilder(Ability parParentAbility) {
            parent_ability = parParentAbility;
        public EffectBuilder target(Targetable parTarget)
        { target = parTarget; return this; }
        public EffectBuilder binder(EffectBinder parBinder)
        { binder = parBinder ; return this; }
    // etc.
}And the following is one of its implementation :
public class GainGoldEffect extends Effect {
    private int gold_gain;
    public GainGoldEffect(GainGoldEffectBuilder parBuilder) {
        super(parBuilder);
        gold_gain = parBuilder.gold_gain;
    public class GainGoldEffectBuilder extends EffectBuilder {
        private int gold_gain;
        public GainGoldEffectBuilder(int parGoldGain, Ability parParentAbility) {
            this.gold_gain = parGoldGain;
            super.parent_ability = parParentAbility;
        public GainGoldEffectBuilder goldGain(int parGoldGain)
        { gold_gain = parGoldGain; return this; }
        public GainGoldEffect build() {
            return new GainGoldEffect(this);
    // etc.
}Effect requires 1 parameter to be correctly instantiated (parent_ability), and 2 others that are optional (target and binder). Implementing the Builder Pattern means that I won't have to rewrite specific construcors that cover all the combination of parameters of the Effect base class, plus their own parameter as an extension. I expect the gain to be quite huge, as there will be at least a hundred of Effects in this API.
But... in the case of these 2 classes, when I'm trying to create the a GoldGainEffect like this :
new GainGoldEffect.GainGoldEffectBuilder(1 , locAbility).goldGain(5);the compiler says "GainGoldEffect is not an enclosing class". Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to extend the base Builder ?
I need your help to understand this and find a solution.
Thank you for reading.

The GainGoldEffectBuilder class must be static.
Otherwise a Builder would require a GainGoldEffect object to exist, which is backwards.

Installing the PDF option with Robohelp 7

When you install Robohelp 7 you are presented with an option
to install a PDF creation option along with it.
Every time I try to do this the installation fails with a
message that says the installer found a more current product
installed, and hence will abort the installation. The problem is
that I have no idea what this more current product is, and how to
remove it. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have seen situations in which Adobe Reader caused an
installation conflict.
Imagine that a user installs Adobe Acrobat 5 when it is
released. Then, version 6 is released. The user sees no need to
upgrade Acrobat but does install Reader 6. Version 7 is released.
The user upgrades the Reader but not Acrobat. Version 8 is
released. The user upgrades the Reader but not Acrobat. Later, the
user is offered a copy of legimate upgrade of Acrobat 7. The user
attempts to install it. The installer sees Reader 8 and halts the
installation. (I suspect that the problem is related to Acrobat and
Reader being developed from the same codebase long ago.)
On several occassions, I have encountered this issue and
successfully resolved it by using the following method. Uninstall
Reader; start with highest version number and work backward to
lowest. Reboot. Uninstall Acrobat; start with highest version
number and work backward to lowest. Reboot. Install Acrobat;
install latest full version first, then install updates (start with
lowest numbered update and work forward to highest). Reboot.
Install Reader; install latest full version, then install updates
(start with lowest numbered update and work forward to highest).
Reboot.
This is a time-consuming process, but it has always worked
for me.

Build Installer with include file 2009

Does LV 2009 let you include files, i.e. *.doc or *.txt, in the installer build? I almost certain this was possible in LV 8.*. I don't see where I can add files outside of source code. I can only add directories...
Solved!

Oh gee thanks, stupid me. I'll try that....

Regarding the various installations with Eclipse.

Hi,
Previously I have installed the jdk1.4 version @c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10.
Then I have copied the Eclipse verison3.2
Then I have installed the jdk1.4 version at some other location c"\j2sdk1.4.2_10.
I have removed the jdk version 1.4 which was at c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10.
Now If I try to open the eclipse its giving an error saying that
" Error: could not open 'c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10\lib\i386\jvm.cfg' "
Followed by
some eclipse warnings.
Please can anyone tell me how to change the jvm path to the eclipse.
Thanks.

swappolube speeds up the applications memory processing, it speeds up the data reading from the hard drive, its really awesome and not risky.
it doesn't matter if you overclock or implement swappolube first, its the same thing if you did one before the other, and no black plastic isn't required, its just that it has super fast transitions, but i recommand using 'theme customizer' you can get the same fast transitions with this awesome package, don't forget you'll find it in the settings after you install it .
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

It is not the PKGBUILD's fault, apparently, as the same error occurs when I autogen-configure-make manually. So is there something wrong with my system, the python setup maybe? (I tried manually replacing "python" by "python2.7" in the Makefile – no success.) Or is it an upstream bug, maybe related to this bug? Is there anything I can do?
Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I really do not feel like I understand this python stuff properly. Also, sorry for duplicating my AUR comments – it was only today that I figured I might get more response in the forum.

Don't panic, I don't. Just did not have time before now.
EDIT: Done. I am still throwing in the towel, though. I was trying to make a gtkmm-git PKGBUILD, because I need the latest gtkmm for development. However for gtkmm-git I needed gtk-git, for which I needed glib-git and pango-git. I successfully (at least it appears so) managed to install glib-git and pango-git, but now I get a linker error with gtk-git and will not spend another day looking for its source. I will just wait until gtkmm-3.1 is released.
EDIT 2: Alright, it appears there must have been something wrong with my "successfull" installs as well, as I just started a gtk app (Balsa) and it did not have any font, just rectangles for letters. Replacing glib-git and pango-git with their stable counterparts turned everything right again.

Hi All,
I was not able to solve the problem with MS SQL 2000, but I was able to resolve the issue with MS SQL 2005.
You have to chhose the following settings while instalation,
Service Account - Select one of the following options:
1) Use the built-in System account for each service and choose Local system or Network Service.
2) Use a domain user account, and enter the user name and password.
Under Start services at the end of setup make sure that SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are selected.
Authentication Mode
1) Select Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication).
This mode is required for a Java or ABAP+Java system.
If you choose this mode, you have to set the password for the sa login.
Note: The password for the sa login must comply with the Windows password policy.
Collation Settings
1) Select SQL collations (used for compatibility with previous versions of SQL Server).
2) From the drop-down list select Binary order based on code point comparison, for use with the 850 (Multilingual) Character Set.
I hope this helps!
