Trying to "find examples" in newly installed LabVIEW8 results in an Error 2

Hi all, and Happy New Year,
   I recently installed LabVIEW8 on my machine, an until yesterday hadn't really opened it up to try anything.  I tried to look at the examples and got the following error message:
Error 2 occurred at System Exec.vi. Command was ""C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\example finder\1.0\bin\NIExampleFinder" -- labview 8.0 license,LabVIEWPro "
I've installed this on my P4 laptop with 512M RAM and a lot of available HD (50Gb+). I'm running WinXP(home) with SP2, and haven't run into any problems with the previous versions (well none that weren't expected ;-)  ). I also notice that when I go to the "Add/remove" programs in control panel, none of the versions of LabVIEW on the machine show up (LV6.1, 7.1.1 and now 8.0), nor do I see any "uninstall" icons under their respective folders in "Start". I figured that since I had originally had LV8beta on here last spring/summer that I would make sure and uninstall it (if still on) and the newly installed 8.0 and start over, but don't see where to do it.
Thanks, as always

Thanks Christian and Happy New Year!
    I uninstalled my latest LV8 attempt through "add/remove" programs, didn't see any signs of LV8beta. I reinstalled it (LV8) and I still have no example access (well I can go to the example directory and open them), no Example finder. I then opened LV7.1.1 and now when I try to get examples there I get something flashing on the screen (small, size of an error message box) that opens and closes too quickly to actually read. I had examples after I installed the LV8beta, it has only been since I installed the current LV8 that I've had these problems. Still trying to figure it out, but have to concentrate today on finishing a project at a customer.   It seems to point at some incompatibility of the examples bin file, or a corrupted one, so maybe if I delete it manually before installing LV8, or delete it and reinstall 7.1.1. (wouldn't want 8 to install one that it could only use)

  • Tried to configure APEX in newly installed database 11.1 but failed.

    Hello,
    I have followed the steps in the Post Installation Tasks for APEX but I cannot access the Admin login page. I tried using the following URL: "http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin" but I get a "Page not Found" error.
    For the HTTP Server I chose the "embedded PL/SQL gateway" and NOT the "Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql." In other words, I followed only the steps pertaining to configuring the embedded PL/SQL gateway.
    Here is a summery of the steps that I took to configure APEX in database 11.1:
    1) Run apxconf.sql
    2) When prompted, set port to "8080" for the Oracle XML DB HTTP server.
    3) unlock the ANONYMOUS account
    4) Enabled the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
    5) I skipped "Configuring Oracle HTTP Server in a New Installation."
    6) I skipped "Configuring Oracle HTTP Server Distributed with Oracle Database 11g."
    7) I skipped "Copying the Images Directory."
    8) I DID do "Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g - Granting Connect Privileges" and successfully ran the script provided.
    9) I did not do "About Running Oracle Application Express in Other Languages."
    10) I did not do "Managing JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES."
    11) I did not do "Obfuscating PlsqlDatabasePassword Parameter."
    12) I could not do this step "Logging In to Oracle Application Express."
    When I had previously upgraded APEX 2.0 to 3.0 using the XE database, I distinctly remember "Copying the Images Directory" and other HTTP Server setup related steps.
    Can I use the embeded PL/SQL Gateway on my laptop running windows XP or do I have to use Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql?
    Please let me know what I should do.
    Thank you in advance.
    Linda

    Linda:
    Make sure that the Oracle Listener configuration file has an entry similar to
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = localhost )(PORT = 8080))
    (Presentation = HTTP)(Session = RAW)

  • Can't find iPhoto in newly installed Leopard

    i've just installed leopard onto my powerbook G4 15". i decided to back up all my files (music, and pix) and start fresh with an empty drive. now i can't locate the iPhoto program. does leopard not come with the iLife progs?
    heellllp....

    No, iPhoto and such are part of the iLife series of programs. They come installed on new Macs but do not come with system software. You should be able to install the versions that came with your computer from its original installation disks or you can purchase the latest version of the iLife suite of programs from various sources.

  • PSE5 on Win 7: newly installed .8bf files not appearing in Filters menu [was: Good Day,]

    Good Day,
    I  am running PSE5 under Windows 7 64-bit, I have tried numerous times to get newly installed 8bf files to show up in the program  under filters, but this never happens. The additional filters such as Flaming Pear 'Flood' were correctly copied to the plug-ins folder. Any help anyone?
    Friendly regards,
    Dieter

    After you download the flood filter from flaming pear, you unzipped (extracted) the flood-164.zip and then copied the flood-164 folder to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Plug-Ins

    Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

    I purchased a new laptop.  I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer.  Any help?

    I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

  • Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

    I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player. 
    I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs....  Can anyone help?

    thanks guys for the replies.
    Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player.  I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years.  I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
    What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
    thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
    Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
    We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
    Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know

  • I have activated SVT 6.0 however it does not show installed in the find examples

    I have the Sound and Vibration measuremnt suite installed and the Sound assistant works.  However when go to look at the examples in Find examples in Labview 8.6 it shows not installed.
    Any ideas

    Hello Tim Nrc,
    Thanks for your post!
    I am sorry to hear that you cannot access your examples for Sound and Vibration. I want to let you know that you can always navigate straight to them using windows explorer.
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.X\examples\Sound and Vibration 
    I would like to ask if you have multiple versions of LabVIEW installed on the system. If you recently installed LabVIEW 8.6 then the examples would only be installed for the last version. So to get the examples you can simply uninstall and reinstall the Sound and Vibration Measurement suite and add support for LabVIEW 8.6. Let me know if any of this information helps/assist you to getting your SVT example programs.
    Cheers!
