Unable to locate labview run time engine (lab view 8.5)

Hello I have a problem whit the labview 8.5 installer. I have created I project with included a .vi file (a simple panel wich control a serial port, with parameters (baud rate, stop bits, ...)), then I have created an application for this file (.exe) and then the installer (I have included the labview run time engine 8.5). When I run the setup.exe  I have the following error message:
Unable to locate labview run time engine, the application require a labview run time engine 8.5 or compatible...
What I'm missing??
Thanks
Maurizio

are there one other reasons why it would not work.  I have asimilar problem.
I intsalled version 8 of run time engine and acrtivated software.  Now I am trying to run compiled application provided to me by third party.
When I click on application it says
Unable to locate LV run time engine
Test server requires a version 6.0 or compatible LV engine.
How do I know if the engine I installed and activated is running and is it supposed to be able to execute a program which is expectin rev 6 of the rund engine?

  • MAX giving error - Unable to locate Labview run-time engine

    I have LV 7.1 and 8.5.1 installed on a WinXP pc. No problems until now.
    I installed some support software for a LabJack  interface, which required LV version 6.1 run-time, so I let it install that.
    I now get the error whenever I run MAX:
    "Unable to locate the Labview run-time engine. LVBrokerAux71 requires a version 7.1 (or compatible) Labview run-time engine...."
    After closing the error boxes, MAX seems to work fine. Both versions of Labview also work. I uninstalled run-time engine 6.1 and re-installed version 8.5.1, but that made no difference. I tried to install run-time version 7.1 from the msi file but it would not let me because a later version of the run-time is installed.
    What is LV Broker? Why does it not accept version 8.5.1 run-time engine? Is it possible to have 2 versions of the run-time engine installed, and if so, how?

    Dear CDancer
    Thank you for contacting NI. First of all, you can have as many versions of LabVIEW run time engines you want loaded on your computer without a problem. LV Broker is installed by all drivers that uses LabVIEW testpanels like DAQmx does. In your case it seems that the LV Broker installation is corrupted or has failed. This can be rectified by overwriting the files in the specified directory listed below:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Broker
    Your directory should look like the screenshot I have attached; labelled LV Broker Directory View
    I have attached a ZIP File that will replace the LV Broker directory. Please try replacing your files with these if different to the screenshot and let me know how you get on. Many thanks.
    Many thanks for using the NI forums and I look forward to your reply.
    Kind regards

  • LabVIEW 8.2 -- "unable to locate LabView run-time" error message

    I am trying to run a LabVIEW version 8 exe file and keep getting the
    "Unable to locate" error. I downloaded LabVIEW_8.2_Runtime_Engine.exe
    from the NI website and installed the entire contents of the
    distribution. After getting the error, I have tried uninstalling and
    reinstalling several times, with the same result.
    Is there some way I can troubleshoot this? Is there a configuration
    file or a registry entry I can check to see where LabVIEW is looking
    for the run-time?

    Michael,
    As Dennis said you need to make sure the version of the Runtime Engine matches the version of LabVIEW the executable was created with.
    You can find different versions of the Runtime Engine on our webpage here.

  • Unable to locate the LabVIEW Run-Time engine

    Using LabVIEW 2011, I have built an executable and installer including the LabVIEW Run-Time engine. I built the app on a 32-bit system. I'm deploying it to a Windows7 64-bit system. When I ran the installer, rebooted, then tried to run the app, I got an error messsage stating "Unable to locate LabVIEW Run-Time Engine", stating that the LVRTE 2011 was needed to run the app, and asking if I want to download from NI. I have tried downloading the RTE and re-installing it, but when I try, I get an error message from the installer stating that there is a newer version of the RTE already installed, and the installer exits! I have tried un-installing the application, but have had no luck removing the RTE. Now I'm stuck. The re-installed executable application says it can't find the RTE, and the RTE installer says there's a later version already installed!
    I can't go forward or backwards!
    Prior to running the installer for this app, I had a working LVRTE for 2011, and was running some other executable LabVIEW programs on the target box. However, since this new application had additional components not included in the original install of the RTE, I built the new installer which included the additional components. Once I ran that installer, my problems began.
    In my frustration, I've tried downloading from NI both the 32 and 64-bit versions of the RTE, and installing them. I realize that the app was built on a 32-bit system, so the 32-bit RTE SHOULD have run it fine, but didn't.
    At this point I have removed the 64-bit RTE using the NIUninstaller. I believe I need to completely remove all 32-bit RTE components and start over, but I have not been able to. The 32-bit RTE does not show up in any un-install utilities I've found.
    What could be causing this problem, and how do I get past it??
    Thank you.

    One thing I did discover in my struggles is that the RunTime engine on the target box needs to be based on the environment of the development box. So if you built the app on a 32-bit machine, you would need to install the 32-bit RTE, even on your 64-bit target box.
    The RTE Uninstaller might not show up in the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility. In my case the 64-bit RTE uninstaller showed up, but the 32-bit did not. The NiUninstaller (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\NIUninstaller) did list both RTEs for uninstalling, but still didn't get me past the problem.
    I was finally only able to get past the problem by doing a system restore to a point in time prior to my changing of the RTE.
    Good luck.

  • Executable not working - Looking for LabVIEW Run-Time Engine

    This has been one of those days.
    I'm trying to create my .exe file to place onto another computer. I've done this before with success. But that was then and this is now.
    I believe I have all the files I need in my LLB, and I believe I did my application distribution correctly and I believe I built the DLL correctly. But when I took the resulting .exe file and placed it on another computer and attempted to run it, it gave me the error message: "Unable to locate LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Program requires a version 7.1 (or compatible) LabVIEW Run-Time engine. You should have already realized this, you moron."
    Anyone have any idea where I went wrong or what step I might have missed? This has been a crazy, non-stop, massive brain fart of a day and I can't seem to remember what I'm missing here.

    Hi.
    Whenever you want to use executables or .dll's created with LabVIEW you must make sure that the LabVIEW runtime engine of the SAME version as the LabVIEW version used to create the files, is installed in the target computer.
    There are basically 2 ways to get the run-time engine installed on a computer:
    1. (the one I prefer): Download the correct version of the LabVIEW run-time engine installer from www.ni.com/downloads, or more specifically from
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/369618​104E25B08E86256F54006A4E2F?opendocument&node=13205​0_US
    for the latest one. Once you have the installer for the run-time engine, just install it in the target computer. I prefer this option because the run-time engine is installed independently, so if you then uninstall your program, the run-time engine remains.
    2. Create an installer for your program that includes the run-time engine. To include the run-time engine, when you are creating your application, go to the "installer settings" tab, click on "Advanced" and make sure there is a checkmark on "include LabVIEW run-time engine". This way when you install your program in the target computer, the run-time engine will also be installed.
    Just as a note, any computer with LabVIEW on it, will also have the run-time engine.
    Good luck.

  • LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

    Hi,
    I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
    We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
    Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ". 
    BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
    Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the response, Brian.
    I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code  -18002 
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg  "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
    So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
    comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • Teststand error states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine

    I am getting an error in teststand that states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'
    If I look at the software loaded on my system with the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer I have Labview Run Time engines for version 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014 on my system.
    How do I get this VI to run on this system when it is called by test Stand?
    Thank you

    The RTE 14.0 was loaded as part of my deployment and after I ran this I got an update notice for the F1 patch which I also loaded.
    I do not have labview loaded on this system, only the run time engines from running my deployment.
    When I launch t he teststand sequence, when it calls the labview VI, I get the following error moessage:
    Error: Failed to load VI 'C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi' in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'. LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. This error may occur because the VI is either broken or contains a subVI that LabVIEW cannot locate. Select File>>Open to open the VI and verify that you can run it. VI Path: C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi[Error Code: -17600, Failed to load a required step's associated module. ]
    I have attached the teststand sequence if this helps.

  • Error 1334 (in LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1 setup) when launching VB6's IDE

    What's going on here?  I have LabVIEW 7.0 and Visual Basic 6 installed on this Win-XP computer.  When I open VB6, I always get what looks like a Windows Installer error:
    First, it asked me for the location of "lvruntimeeng.msi", which I located for it.  The next progress-window says:
    NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
    Please wait while Windows configures NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
    Finally it fails with this error-message window:
    NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
    Error 1334.  The file 'NIMDFManifestFileId.53736431_DBEC_4582_B072_2F1F0A2C4EA6' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'lbruntimeeng_mft'.  This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
    [OK]
    The two windows repeat twice each time I launch VB6's IDE, and that causes a long delay.  What can I do to prevent this error?
    Message Edited by citizenDAK on 04-23-2008 01:34 PM

    Yes it occurrs every time I launch VB6.
    For a long time now, at least many months.  It's not every day that I need to open good old VB6.  I was hoping it'd just 'go away' but it hasn't.
    I don't know what changes lead up to it.  LOTS of things have been updated, security-patched, etc...  (It is XP.)  I've even un-installed the runtime, then re-installed it when I kept getting the same prompt.  Don't have any idea why, I was hoping you could tell me from the specific file named in the error.  (Google didn't find it for me, and neither did searching ni.com)
    p.s.,  Sorry I left out a decimal and copy/pasted it several times...  should've said "NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1"

  • Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

    Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

    I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
    Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
    I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
    I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
    R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
    Any ideas ?

    I do have the LabVIEW 2013 discs but didn't install it.
    I checked in Control Panel > Programs and Features > National Instruments Software and the LabVIEW 2013 Run-Time is not listed there.
    I also checked in MAX > Software and I must have missed it the first time I looked. LabVIEW Run-Time 2013 is listed there after all.
    Now I remember installing VISA 5.4 to get rid of a nasty bug. It must have installed the 2013 Run-Time when I did that.
    So now I need to distribute 2 runtimes with my application?!?!

  • Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

    With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
    -install using the plugin
    -install using LVRTE.exe
    -install after rebooting the server
    But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
    Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
    Thanks for your help
    Cyrille

    Cyrille,
    What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
    Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
    To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
    Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
    setup.exe/l*v
    This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
    Thanks

  • Include LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in C# Project Distribution

    I have written a software package in Visual Studio using C# which calls a number of functions from a dll which I have built in LabVIEW. I am now trying to produce an installation program for my C# package but can't quite work out how to include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in this installation.
    I am creating the installation program by defining a Visual Studio Deployment Project and I have added my LabVIEW dll to this. However, the dll requires the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine to also be installed on the target PC. I was hoping that there would be a set of files to implement the installation of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine that I could include in my Visual Studio Deployment Project and do the installation of both my C# code and my LabVIEW dll (inc Engine) in one operation. Is this possible? Or do I need to produce a LabVIEW installation for my dll separately from the C# installation?
    Info:
    Development OS = Windows 2000
    Target OS = Windows XP
    C# Development Environment = Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 V8.0
    LabVIEW Version = 8.5
    Also, I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and noticed that there seemed to be an 'Order Analysis Run-Time Engine' installed on my PC. Do I need this too?
    Thanks for any help.
    CAS

    Hi CAS,
    One way of automating the installation of the LabVIEW run-time engine is to use commands in a batch file (*.bat). These commands would be executed automatically at the same time as your distribution installer to install LVRT with your C# application. For more information on command line options, have a look at this KB. I don't have so much knowledge of C# distributions, though, so there may be a better way to approach this that someone else in the community could advise you on.
    With regard to the order analysis toolkit, you will also need this runtime engine installed. A point to note, though, is that the toolkit requires a run-time licence to be deployed in this fashion. It is now part of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite and needs to be licenced accordingly.
    I hope this helps!
    Best regards,

  • NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine + TCP/IP

    As I indicated, the lines are only applicable to using the VI Server. You had not indicated whether you were using the VI Server or just the TCP/IP VIs. At this point we need a better explanation of what you're doing. Specifically:
    What does this: "If I trying communicate with server from my PC (LVRTE) its works correctly." mean? What is the "server"? What's it running? What do you mean by your "PC (LVRTE)"?
    What does this: "However, when I am trying interchange client and server applications it appears with error 1" mean? What is the "interchange client" and the "server applications". Reading this implies you have more than one application running on the "server", whatever that is.
    Seeing some code wouldn't hurt either.
