Uninstall Labview after Silently installation

I installed Labview 7.1 using the silently installation and I need to do an uninstall like this (Using a .BAT file), for the Silently installation I used the Spec files attached.
In order to have a complete custom installation I also had to run separate the device drivers setup with its own spec file.
I already tried to uninstall using this same spec files changing for each feature to = Absent (This is suppose to remove if installed) but it doesn't completely uninstall. The Data Socket and the NI Spy remain.
Thank you in advance

Hello EJPEREZ,
After further investigation, it appears that DataSocket is still present on the system because the LabVIEW Runtime Engine is still installed. To verify this, open the control panel, double-click on add/remove programs, select National Instruments Software, click on change and you will see a list of National Instruments Software that is installed on the computer. You can use this method to find out which NI Software product is leaving NI Spy on your computer as well.
Uninstalling the LabVIEW Runtime Engine will remove DataSocket from your computer. The way to do this from the command line is to use msiexec and the LabVIEW Runtime Engine MSI file. The command will look something like "path:\>msiexec /quiet /uninstall lvruntimeeng.msi" depending on your preferences and file locations. MSIexec is a Microsoft Windows utility and you can get more information about it on there website (http://www.microsoft.com). If you need more information about the commmand line parameters for msiexec, just type in "msiexec" in the command line and hit the "enter" key. The LabVIEW Runtime Engine msi can be found on your installation cd in the "components\lvruntimeeng\" folder.
Make sure you run this command AFTER you do the core uninstallation using the "setup.exe LVspect.txt /q" operation. Then you can use msiexec to uninstall the program that is leaving NI Spy on your computer.
I hope this helps,

Uninstalling LabVIEW after an application (EXE) build

Hello,
I couldn't find any instructions for this. I have a LV project and build specification application.exe ready made. Now I want to uninstall labview and delete all VIs but keep all necessary components which are needed to run the application.exe. How do I know which are needed and which not when I start the uninstalling procedure? I use at least DAQmx and Vision Builder AI components. I can see items under Dependencies that VIs under a target require but it doesn't tell me what I need to uninstall.
Best Regards,
Jick

I don't want to sound rude, but it takes you under 1 min to create an installer. Removing LabVIEW will take minutes, if not an hour, since the uninstaller remove module after module after module.... and so on.
In your project window, right-click on Build Specifications and select Installer.
In the Installer window, fill in desired information and where you want your build to be created.
Then add your source files (your .exe file) and where you want it to be installed.
Then add the run-time engine under Additional Installers.
Then remove your whole Labview if you want. And as mentioned in a previous post, run your installer after. You then install your .exe file together with the run-time engine. Note that if you use DAQ you should add the driver too, together with the run-time engine.

Alert after silent installation of Essbase excel add-in

Hi,
We have to deploy excel add-in for many users , so we are planning to do it using the silent installation.We succeded in recording the resonse file and running the silent installation. But problem is we are not getting any alert after the instaltion is complete.Only way is we need to go into All Programs, where in it is showing that some new programs are installed.
Could you please suggest us a way for getting an alert message either in the command prompt(from where we run the silent installation) or in the form of a pop-up.
Regards
Prat

The Excel addin has the most versitility for reporting and adhoc analysis. You can do things in it that you can't do with Web analysis. Pleus paower users who have a good knowledge of Excel prefer working in excel than on the web

Certificate Trust (Pinning) disabled after silent installation

When we install EMET 4.1 (MSIEXEC.exe /qb!- /i "EMET Setup.msi" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS) and import te Popular Software.xml and CertTrust.xml settings with EMET_Conf.exe the Quick Profile Name is set to custom Security setting and the
Certificate Trust (Pinning) option is disabled. The import of the CertTrust.xml worked because the pinning rules en protected websites are visible.
How can we use the Recommended Security Settings and enable the Certificate Trust (Pinning) option after installation? I tried to use a Group Policy but there are no group policy settings for the Certificate Trust (Pinning) option.
Has someone else experienced this and how cal we solve this?
Regards,
RK

The Group Policy settings for EMET 5.0 look the same as those for EMET 4.1. The 'problem' that is the system mitigation Certificate Trust (Pinning) is disabled after a silent installation is not (yet) fixed in EMET 5.0 technical preview. On the other hand
I found out that "EMET_CONF.exe --system Pinning=Enbled" enables the system mitigation Certificate Trust (Pinning). The Quick Profile Name remains set to custom Security setting but I guess that's the settings are te same as Recommended Security Settings.

Some Java applets do not work after silent installation, solved by toggling "Enable Java content in the browser" - Why?

We have about 1,800 workstations running Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) running various versions of the Java JRE from 6 update 32 through 7 update 51. Most are on 6 update 45. We would like to standardize on Java 7 update 51 (32-bit) and get everyone updated to that version for security reasons.
For the past two weeks, we have been having trouble with our installation pre-pilot. What we are seeing is that our procedure successfully closes any open Internet Explorer windows and Java-related processes, uninstalls all old versions of the Java JRE, and then claims to have successfully installed Java 7 update 51. The Java Control panel works. We can even take Internet Explorer to Verify Java Version or Java Tester - What Version of Java Are You Running? and confirm that the Java applets on those sites are loading (though the latter only works after adding the site to the exceptions site list); however, when testers try to access our Kronos Workforce Central 6.3.10 system, the Java applets used by that system do not load.
We have tried the following things, none of which worked:
Clear Internet Explorer browser cache and cookies.
Clear the local Java cache.
Reboot the computer.
Reset Internet Explorer settings, including personal settings.
The one thing which does work is going into the Java Control Panel, going to the Security tab, unchecking "Enable Java content in the browser", pressing Apply, pressing OK on the pop-up window, checking the "Enable Java content in the browser" box again, pressing OK, pressing OK on the pop-up window, and then restarting Internet Explorer. It is only after this point that all Java applets, including the ones used by Kronos Workforce Central 6.3.10, work.
What I need to know is how I can automate the procedure of reinitializing the "Enable Java content in the browser" checkbox after installation or am I doing something wrong or missing a step in the automated installation that is causing this to happen?
We are using Microsoft SCCM 2007 R3 to accomplish this upgrade, and everything is being run on the client machine using the SYSTEM account. First, the PowerShell script "javaclean.ps1" is run, with part of the command-line process changing the PowerShell script execution policy to Bypass. This script handles the closing of Java-dependent applications and Java processes and uninstalls old Java versions.

Help on this issue would be much appreciated!

It turns out that this is actually a problem with Kronos Workforce Central. We had the "site.java.plugin.CLSID.familyVersion" setting in that application set to "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA", which is the Java CLSID for Java 6. After updating this value to "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" (the Java universal CLSID), this problem did not occur upon the automatic upgrade of Java.
We have both Java 6 and Java 7 in our environment, and did during our Kronos implementation, so I don't know why we were using the Java 6 CLSID in the first place.
Case closed!

Do i need to uninstall exploror after Firefox installation?

How can I uninstall Labview run time engine from the machine?

I understand that Labview has not given any provision to show customized 'License Agreement screen'. Isn't it? This is the main cause of my problem. Since I want to show our own license agreement (LA) screen, I made the one using Labview. To show this license agreement screen, I first install a small application which has only this LA screen with Labview run time engine. The customer can see License Agreement Screen with Labview Run Time Engine on his machine. If My customer accepts the LA, I will install the main application further by calling another setup.EXE file.
If my customer selects 'Do Not Agree' to the LA, I will quit the installation process. Here I also want to 'uninstall' Labview Run Time Engine
from his machine since he doesn't accept License. I would like to know how to uninstall Labview run time engine from his machine?
Another way which I could think is to run the LA screen from the CD with Labview run time engine on the CD. I will start installing the main S/W to the customer's machine with LABview Run Time Engine only after he accepts License agreement. I would like to know how to run the Labview application from CD without installing run time engine on the target machine?
Can anyone suggest solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Chander

J-Tek,
I would suggest re-installing the Run-time Engine and then uninstalling it after a reboot. Also, you can download a program called Msicuu.exe (for NT, 2000, XP or Msicu.exe for 9x) to help clean up the registry for uninstalled programs.

Error 1612 when uninstalling LabVIEW 2009

Hello,
I'm trying to uninstall LabVIEW 2009 from an Acer tablet running Windows 7. Whenever I attempt to uninstall it though, I receive error 1612. Also, I'm not doing any weird methods of uninstalling; I'm following what the NI website says to do! When looking at previous topics that discussed this issue, none really seemed to come to a clear solution and I'm not sure yet if using a 3rd party program is the way to go. Have any new solutions to this problem appeared? I need to uninstall LabVIEW 2009 so I can install the 2014 version on it. That way I can move a program that I wrote on my personal laptop to my lab's tablet.
Any help is much appreciated!
Amy

You don't need to uninstall 2009 to install 2014. That said, it sounds like something is corrupt. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, you might try installing 2009 from the command prompt using the command: setup.exe /reinstall
That will force the installer to overwrite registry entries and the such. After that's complete, you should be able to uninstall.

Silent Installation with JRE 1.6_04

Hi All,
We are creating a batch file silent installation of Sun JRE. I am able to uninstall JRE and Install JRE. However I have issue while setting the parameters such as AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 SSL_V2_COMPATIBLE_HELLO=1 while installing.
Has anyone tried this ?
I use below batch file to install JRE
jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe /s ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=0 MOZILLA=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 SSL_V2_COMPATIBLE_HELLO=1
Has anyone succesful with all the parameters?
Rajesh Alex

After long time I found solution to this issue.... I want to share to all
(Silent installation wont work with JRE 1.604 and I had to set the SSLV2 client to true for SSL)
There is 2 levels of settings for JRE 1.6 either at user level (Policy) or at System level
User Level
C:\Documents and Settings\ralex\<User Application Data Folder>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
System Level
<Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config
To set this at System level , we have to create 2 files under
1 C:<Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config
a) deployment.config
deployment.system.config=file:///C:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
b) deployment.properties file
2 Delete the deployment.properties file under C:\Documents and Settings
We have repackaged JRE Install .exe and after installation the script will do the above changes...

Silent Installation on remote client computer?

The SIlent Installation description writes:
It is intended for:
system administrators who want to deploy Java Plug-in and the JRE on multiple PCs in the Intranet environment without user interaction
That sounds exactly what I need. But when I do such a silent installation, there are no options for the remote computer (like 'destination client='). First I just set the network path for the INSTALLDIR and found that just the files were copied to the network computer but the installation was done locally. So, how can I tell the silent installation that I want to install on a remote computer?

MDN,
Thank you for your
continued investment in Lookout. Lookout
6 includes many improvements over earlier versions including enhanced data
reliability and the ability to interface Lookout databases with other National
Instruments software products, such as the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory
Control Module and DIAdem.
After our recent
release some users reported the CPU performance issues that you mentioned in
this thread. This issue should not
affect all users. We are aware of the
issue and are working to resolve it.

How does one customize the LabView 6.1 installation

Noticed that LabView 6.1 is an MSI-based installation. But setup.exe has very few optional switches:
/? or /h - displays help
/q - silent install, requiring the user to register the first time it's run
/l - log file, same syntax as MSI
SpecFile - no further information available
The silent install (/q) is nice, but it runs a *complete* installation and installs *everything*. And then it requires the user to register the product the first time it's run.
Does anyone have more info on the SPECFILE parameter (like examples of how the file should be formatted).
We're mostly interested in:
- running a custom installation
- excluding most of the drivers
- disabling (or not including) the FlexLM service for
the Remote Console feature
- including registration information during the install
- specifying the location of the installation folder and program icons
- suppressing the reboot
Most of this is simple to accomplish with a transform (MST) file.
Are any of these features available with the LabView 6.1 installation?
Can LabView 6.1 be transformed? If so, which MSI (there are several).
Thank you, Al
[email protected]

I Assume this has nothing to do with LabVIEW. My Virusscan didn't alert me
for anything.
I think it's something else...

Uninstall Adobe AIR Silently

Hello,
I work on a project where I need to install and uninstall Adobe AIR silently with command line.
No problem for the installation but i cannot uninstall it silently. I was try all installer commands line and it doesn't works.
I have the lastest AIR packages.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same question as fantaribo.
I want to uninstall the Adobe AIR runtime--NOT an AIR application, just the runtime--via the command line.
I have tried running the AIR runtime installer with the -uninstall command but that does not work.
Is there a command-line switch that allows for silent, un-attended install of the AIR runtime as a whole?
In other words, is there a way to uninstall the runtime without having to go through the Uninstall selection
on the "Programs and Features" control panel?

Labview 2009 SP1 Installer build help needed

Hello,
First time posting here. I have a rather large project that I recently converted from Labview 7.0 to 9.0. I am able to build an executable and it starts up Ok but I don't know for sure if it works. Since I couldn't build an installer, I copied the folder containing the .exe onto the targeted machine and installed Labview Run-time Engine 2009 SP1. The executable then complains that it needs the full development version to work. I am not too worry about this part at the moment, but if you have any pointers, please go ahead and post them.
Ok, I have gone through a lot of posts on building and installer but it seems the one post that has something similar to what I experienced didn't get an answer. Here's the Build Errors from the pop-up dialog:

I realize that I should post my project file but I can't do that until tomorrow. From those 2 errors, can you tell me what the installer builder is looking for? I have gone through all my dependencies and they look Ok at the moment.
Thanks for you time.

Hi Celeb,
I had to help out on another project and finally only getting back to looking at this issue yesterday. As you suggested, I went ahead and created a new project and created new build specifications (exe and installer). I was able to properly build both items but won't be able to check out the executable til later this week.
I noticed one thing about the project that Labview produced after converting the old *.bld file to a project file.  With the converted project, Labview adds unexpected installer destination folders into WindowsFolder in the Installer/Source Files/Destination View. I thought I deleted them before but they seem to make it back (kinda hazy about this at this point).  My actual installer folder should only go into the WindowsVolume folder. Anyway, on the new build spec, since I don't manually add the installer folder into the WindowsFolder, nothing get populated there and the installer is able to build properly. This might have been the cause of my inability to build an installer with the converted project/build specs.
I hope NI could add in more details into the build error messages. As it is, it's really difficult to know why a build failed because there's no details in those messages.
Thanks again,
T.

I can grab the Oracle Calendar.msi file from the temp directory during an interactive install but cannot find the files that the instructions suggest most importantly the handy unison.ini configuration file is not there :-( .
Can someone help please.

Dear all,
I've managed to work this one out for myself. Bit of a nightmare but here we go...
The nub of the problem is that a default value of the variable that sets the installation directory is not being declared in the msi.
As a result of this when you perform an installation without the GUI for some files only the installation path defaults to "" or the root directory of the PC.
Fortunately this path is covered by a Public parameter in the msi file :-) . You can pass public parameters into the msi when you install it. Like this:
msiexec.exe /i "mymsi.msi" MYPUBLICPARAMETER="myvalue"
I used the msitoxml application available on sourceforge to have a look at the parameters inside the msi which I grabbed from the temporary. The public parameters always have capital letters.
So for a silent install of the msi I ended up with this:
msiexec.exe /i "Oracle Calendar.msi" /qn INSTALLDIR="%programfiles%\Oracle\Calendar"
Having got the msi install working I thought I would try to find a way to pass the msi switches into the original installshield setup file so that it doesn't need extracting which Oracle might not want us to do.
We already know that the /v switch passes parameters to msiexec.exe when used on the setup exe. But what syntax do we need for this complex set of parameters? The Installshield setup executable expects any string containing spaces after the /v switch to wrapped in quotes. So we have the classic quotes within quotes problem.... After some experimentation it turns out that the \ character will escape quotes in this case.
So escaping the extra quotes we have:
OCal_win_10.1.2exe /s /v"/qn INSTALLDIR=\"%programfiles%\Oracle\Calendar\""
No idea whether this will help anyone else, but I had to write it up somewhere!

Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator SILENT INSTALLATION (distribution)

Hi!
I have problem with silent installation of the "USB Port Replicator".
I have an CD with autorun (usbportrep.exe starts), nd i need to install in silently on client computer.
usbportrep.exe hasn't any switches like \s or \hidden or \quiet.
I tried to made response file, but it doesn't helps.
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot!

I have installed it.
During installation I copied sources from %temp% folder.
Package installs:
Lenovo USB Port Replicator (non msi)
Display Link Core Software (msi)
Lenovo Display Adapter (msi)
Then I captured first application. And compiled it ot msi.
I have made customization by two transform files for "Display Link Core Software" and "Lenovo Display Adapter"
After that I made batch file:
msiexec /i LenovoUSBPortReplicator-1.22.msi ALLUSERS=1 ARPNOMODIFY=1 ARPNOREMOVE=1 ADDLOCAL=All REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /qn
msiexec /i "DisplayLinkCoreSoftware.msi TRANSFORMS=DisplayLinkCoreSoftware.mst ALLOW64BIT=No WIN2KSP4=Yes WINXPSP0=No WINXPSP1=No WINXPSP2=Yes WINSERVER2003=No VISTA=Yes ALLUSERS=1 ARPNOMODIFY=1 ARPNOREMOVE=1 ADDLOCAL=All REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /qn
