Turning a VI in to a .exe file

Hi to all I want to turn somefile.vi in to somefile.exe so that it could run without opening LV.My questions are:1. Can it be done?2. Where should i look in order to find examples?

It can be done if you have the Full or Professional development packages, otherwise the necessary tool is an addon expense. If you are using one of the newer versions, 8.x or later, create a "project" that includes the vi you wish to make into an .exe. If you have the necessary tool you should see "Build Specifications" at the bottom of the list of the "project" tree listing. Right clicking on that will bring up a "New" selection, which, if you have the necessary tool, should show "Application (EXE)". To run a LabVIEW exe on a machine that doesn't already have LabVIEW installed will require installing the LabVIEW Run Time Engine, a free download (a fairly big one though).
OK, I also noticed that under the "Tools" on the toolbar at the top of a VI there is also a selection "Build Application (EXE) from VI...", which only seems to be available when the vi is in a project.

Does turning off debugging help a compiled .exe file run faster?

I'm trying to get my application to run faster. I saw on this website that turning off the debugger makes the application run faster but it's unclear if that applies to the development platform or a compiled executable.

You are probably referring to this KB article: General Performance Improvements. When you create a stand-alone application you can also enable debugging. This will save the block diagrams so you can debug the application while it's running. Normally when you build an app the block diagrams is stripped.
The amount of impact that turning off debugging will have to your VI/app performance is hard to say. To best way to get a VI/app to run faster is to improve the code in the first place. This means avoiding very large memory arrays, not initializing and closing references every time you iterate in a loop, minimizing file I/O, etc. If you provide some idea of what your code does, and can perhaps post your code, specific suggestions can be provided.

.exe files in java

How to store the output a java programme in a .exe file?

When compiled, your code is turned into a .class file that is platform-independant byte code that is used by the JVM.
Because Java is platform independant, it has to be kept in a uniform fashion, but .exe files are unique (for the most part) to windows type machines. Any JDK you have, from the oldest to the newest, will compile .java source files into .class bytecode files. If you want to turn a .class file into an .exe, you'll have to try and find a 3rd-party conversion application. I've never used them myself, but I think if you search for them on the web you'll find a fair number of hits.
Just remember, if you get a converter to turn your java programs into an .exe file, you can't port it over to a different platform, you've doomed it to an existence trapped in Windows.

Error in downloading itunes, all the .exe files turn into the itunes icon. I had to removed itunes.

Error in downloading itunes in windows, all the .exe files turn into the itunes icon

Download the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. Reinstall iTunes. Should you find that all of your desktop shortcuts have again turned into links to the iTunes application apply the patch.

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file

I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

Turn a script into an .exe file?

Hi,
How can I turn a JavaScript into an .exe file (on Windows)? The
advantage is that if the script uses only ScriptUI features, it will
never need to launch InDesign. Additionally, it is possible to package
it that way with a special icon that appears if it is placed on the
desktop, and when it runs the icon appears in the taskbar.
An example of what I'd look to achieve is the hyphenchecker script,
written by the late Teus de Jong. There is one Windows-only version
available on his website (which is still being maintained, probably by
his son) which is an .exe file -- precisely what I'm trying to do.
Thanks,
Ariel

straight form javascript i don't think there is a way.
however you can use, i think, Visual Basic (not vbScript!!) as a wrapper for js (using doScript)?

How to turn a Java Application an .exe file?

Hello, I'am just above new commer in Java world. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just developed an application in java, how can I turn it into exe file? is there a way I can run this application without the "Command" promt (window) running?
Pls. help my email address is "[email protected]"
Any assistance will be largely appreciated.

you can try the J++ compiler provided with the JBuilder from Microsoft but this is just compiling the java to C++. to create a standalone exe is as far as I know impossible. U can try to use a jar-archive (create with the sdk) and if a Java Virtual Machine is installed (normally with every popular web-browser) it will run with a doubleclick

Exported projector.exe file - sound turning off after a while

I have exported a flash clip as an exe flash presentation file. I am using Windows 7 with flash player 10.
The flash clip contains 4 seperate video files (movie trailers) which have been imported into flash. I am able to play these fine by running the exe file created in Flash (CS4).
After a while (10 min or much longer somethimes) the audio goes off but the flash movie still plays without the audio.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
I have also improved the quality of the video files that I am using within the flash movie (downloaded them as HD video files and converted them to f4v files in Adobe Media Encoder and imported them into flash to play with flv component. Unfortunately when I try to play the published exe file, when it comes to play the imported video elements the audio plays fine but the images of the movie are jittery. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi, not sure if you are in the correct forum. You may have more help in the Flash forum.
I don't understand CS4 and how Flash Player is related, so can't respond to that. Perhaps someone else will.
You could look on the right hand side for "more like this" when you open your thread since those threads are related to
issues similar.
Thanks,

Turn my .class files into .exe file

Does anyone know a good install shield program for Java? I'm currently using a program called Install4J. But the problem is that after I installed the program all my .class files are basically copied into the destination folder. Is there a program that can combine all the .class files into an .exe file or maybe a library file? Thanks

gee, that's never been asked before... good thing you didn't waste precious time searching the forums first.

My Folders turned into exe files

Hi everybody,
I don't know what happened to my Mac today, i assumed it's a virus but the strange here is that virus is only affect Windows OS. The story is, I have a friend, she borrowed my camera, as she returned it, i was on boot camp and was using Windows for gaminng, i plugged my camera and delete photos that my friend has taken. I noticed nothing strange and i didn't have any Anti-virus program on Windows. Until i login to my Mac, i see all of the folders on my Macintosh HD drive is now exe files. I can still access these folders by using the "Go" option on the Menu Bar. I downloaded Kaspersky and scan for viruses, it showed that the drive is infected with Worm.Win32.Autorun.gvy. If i try to delete the file, it also delete the whole Folder which causes my Mac to crash and need to restart.
Here is the picture

That is truly bizarre. I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying about that malware, though. Did you scan your Windows partition and find that it was infected with that malware? Or did you scan the Mac partition and find the file there?
If the former, does the Windows partition have access to the Mac partition while Windows is running? (I'm not that familiar with how Boot Camp works.) If so, it may have done something to the Mac partition. If the latter, this can't have anything to do with that malware.
In any case, though, if I saw that, I would probably erase the hard drive and restore from my last backup. As this is not a problem I've ever heard of before, I have no idea what might have happened or how you might fix it.
For your question, Yes, i did install MacDrive when i was using Boot Camp and i regretted it. The problem here is there isn't a way to fix this virus for Mac OS. I think i will try using Boot camp and scan for viruses with Windows Programs then.
@Radiation Mac: This is about Mac Lion, the drive here is Macintosh HD which is the root drive of a Mac and these files as you can see are the folders of a normal Mac.

Download stops/stuck at 99%...only .exe files

whenever (from last 2 years) i try to download an binay file .exe file...the download never compeletes....it stops at 99 %...in this way i cannot update my adobe flash player or mozilla firefox....i have no antivirus... firewall turned offf.....i tried everything....i reinstalled windows about 5 times in last two years but the problem is same.....if you cannot help me then upload the latest flash player(full 16 or 17 mb i think) as a rar file on any site and send link but help me in solving my problem...
two pictures uploaded...the difference between both is the time difference of 2 minutes

It's quite clearly trying to run some sort of security scan on the downloaded file and something is broken so it's waiting forever for it to finish.
You can still get to the exe file, right click the download and browse to the folder it's downloading to. Make sure you can see hidden files and also do not have known file extensions hidden (every Windows user should know how to set this) you should see the file you're downloading in there and another file with the same name but with .part on the end. Right click this "part" file and select copy, paste it somewhere else (temp folder) and rename it to what it's supposed to be. Then you should be able to run it.
Alternatively, you can also use another browser to download the same file. Right click the download in Firefox and select "Copy Download Link". Then paste this link into another browser and let that download it.
There's probably something in about:config you can change to prevent the security scan from running ( browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen may be worth a try ). My guess is that some antivirus program you had installed in the past inserted something into Firefox that it didn't bother to remove when the AV software was uninstalled. This kind of thing also used to break Microsoft Office as well.

I have a error message when i turn on my computer. AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. Any thoughts?

Found this fix here which worked for me with a similar problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196594?start=0&tstart=0
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well.

Can't install drivers for Sound Blaster Live! No ctzapxx.exe file

As above, I had to reboot my system and used a disk eraser as I wanted a clean slate. So obviously I have to reinstall the drivers for diff things such as sound card, USB 2.0 card etc. Everything goes fine until I get to installing the drivers for the Sound Blaster Li've!?I inserted the disc and installed the drivers, then I restarted Windows as requested. When it loads back up it'sdetects the sound card and trys to install the driver, but it can not find the driver anywhere, not on the PC or on the CD. After looking into things I thought I would go down the approach using the ctzapxx.exe file mentioned here - <a target="_blank"]http://93.95.7.84/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4,E=000000000033636605,K=5285,Sxi=8,Answer2655 5=obj(26555)bj(26559[/url])?But for some reason this file isn't on the CD, which is what I think is stopping me from installing the drivers. My OS is Windows XP SP2. I have files that a similar in name to ctzapxx.exe , but they don't seem to do anything. I am usual ok with computer software but hardware and BIOS etc isn't my strong point as you may have gathered. I'm hoping someone knows how to sort this as it is a real pain not having any sound. Any help will be much appreciated!If you need anymore details to help identify the problem I'll provide them ASAP. Thanks in advance,Andy

the unipack download from creative will not work. first, try asking around if somebody else has the same 5. creative card as yours. the only solution for your problem is to use the installation cd that came with your creative card. I lost mine so i went to a pc repair shop and inquired if they have a copy of such cd - they normally do.
. you need to remove all the programs concerning creative from add remove programs. 2. shut down, and remove the sound card. 3. turn the pc on and let windows boot normally. install the the softwares and drivers using the cd that came with the box. 4. shut down and install the sound card 5. turn on the pc. windows will find a new hardware and will find the right drivers bec you have previously installed them. There is absolutely no need to reformat your hard dri've.

How do I install Photoshop from the .exe files I got from Adobe?

I downloaded Photoshop CS2 from Adobe's site. That download gave me 5 .exe files, including CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe, and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe.
When I clicked on CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe, files were extracted and installation began. I put in my serial number and other information, and things seemed to be going fine. Then a window popped up with the message "Please insert Disk 2." Well, I don't have a Disk 2.
My download included a file "CS2_install_Win.pdf." In those instructions, it says "the InstallShield wizard may return an error, "Please insert disk [ number ]." If this error occurs, click OK in the dialog box and then double-click the disk image to which the installer refers to manually extract the disk and complete the installation." So, I clicked on CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe, which overwrote the extracted files from CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe. But the box saying "Please insert Disk 2" didn't go away. No matter how many times I clicked "OK" it just stayed there.
Still, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe ran, and when it was done I got a message that installation was complete. But, when I tried to run CS2, I got an error that my serial number and organization were invalid or not installed properly. I know they were installed because I put them in when I ran CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe
So, given that following the pdf instructions that came from the download don't seem to work, can anyone out there offer me better instructions on how to do this installation? I was thinking of extracting each .exe file to a CD, then just inserting those CDs one at a time. Will that work?

Missing personalization infopoints to permissions/ user privileges issues which are to be expected with such old versions on contemporary operating systems. Run as admin, turn off security stuff, try compatibility modes. Actualyl burning the discs will of course work, but you might look into simply mounting folders/ disc images as virtual drives e.g. using Daemon Tools Lite or your disc burning software's own disc mounter.

When I try to download a .exe file extension, Firefox designates it as a binary file which is useless to me.

using Windows 7 with i3 processor all the latest updates. Firefox is the ONLY browser that gives me this problem. I should not have to turn off my antivirus or go into my config files, write code or anything to have this simple task to work. If I buy a download for a program and get one shot at the download which is an executable file, I should not have it come up as a Binary file and can not use it to load the program that I just ordered.

Sorry you are having problems. Can you give an example preferably of some small publicly available file and the site you are trying to download it from ?
As a simple example of a download (ok it is a .png image file not not a .exe file) but can you try to download a copy of your avtar/icon, as used on these forums. In Windows one method is that you right click & should get an option save. <br/> Mine alongside uses the link
* https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/avatars/avatar-257447.png
Are you able to download such an image, then see it in your download manager, and find it on your computer.
Once you have got Firefox to save your binary file you can use it. In the case of the .exe file you are trying to download that should be usable as intended with your Windows Operating System, the avatar also should be easily opened and viewed.
P.S.
You could try installing the add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/ if you wished to adapt Firefox to run .exe files instead of just save them.
